Love everything about this place because it's just perfectly New York. Sit around the fountain, people watch some crazies, and enjoy an impromptu show by whatever talented musicians happen to hang by.
Mini golf and beach volleyball is cool, but walk past those to the end of the pier and get to one of my fave spots in the city. Beautiful view of the water and a perfect seat to take it all in.
sexy cocktail lounge above the fray of houston street, you might just be in burma, i love the jamaican firefly and the old cuban, both drinks not people btw

Love this spot. Low key, always delicious. Get the cucumber sangria for a refreshing summer beverage or cozy up with a glass of wine. The egg in a blanket is so good, I guarantee you'll want two!
Good little corner store that's stocked with grocery and homegood basics. Cash only!
Tiny little spot with only a few tables, but the staff is awesome and the food's always delicious. Roasted red pepper salad, greek salad, spinach pie, meatballs, yum!
Amazing pastries, esp the DKA w carmelized goodness + almond croissant. Mini egg sandwich is also delish! Cute indoor/outdoor patios - def making this my new spot for coffee + wkend breakfast hangs!
Step away from that cronut and coffee - and cut across the street to this new bubble tea spot (with a 🐼 for a logo!). Get the lychee green tea with lychee jelly - a light & refreshing pick-me-up!
amazing handmade chocolates and truffles. bit pricey, but perfect for gifts or a treat!
No frills but always yummy asian-fusion'y spot. Miso glazed salmon and asian pear salad with chicken sausage -- super good.
Lovely french spot with open-air seating when it's a beautiful day out. Bonus that they serve breakfast all day, but when you're not in the mood for that, try the salmon tartare, ceviches, or sliders.
Take a friend or date, sit at the chef's table, order sangria, dates, quail eggs + some specials, and chat w the chef about the day's finds at the union sq market that inspired the dishes. Perfect.
Totally lovely and adorable spot. Come for brunch with live jazz, and share the Turkish breakfast platter. Sit by the open doors w a cocktail when it's warm, or cozy up w mint green tea in winter.
Relaxing spot for a catch-up w a friend or a break from the shops, w an amazing selection of hot & cold teas. Had an almond one the staff rec'ed bc it smelled like xmas, and holy mmm they were right!
Super cozy, super Japanese spot that only serves Japanese comfort food (don't come here looking for sushi!). Love the Omu Rice (fried rice wrapped in omelette) or Omu Curry, plus the peach aloe drink!
Hard to find, as The Daily is nestled next to Public - but worth the treasure hunt. Enjoy a glass of wine and light bites in a warm, inviting atmosphere.
French onion soup grilled cheese, holy crap. Get the slushies or ask the bartender to make you something with tequila - it will be awesome / you'll stumble out happy.
Come for brunch, lunch or dinner - the food in this chic café is a consistently delicious mix of French and Moroccan cuisines. The sidewalk tables are perfect for a sunny day.
Stellar thin crust pizzas, but don't overlook the pastas — they're phenomenal. [Eater 38 Member]
Walk past that ridiculous line from the Kardashian's DASH store and find this really awesome gallery of fun and fresh artists.
One of my favorite galleries. Awesome urban & pop artists and super nice staff. Find some amazing Keith Haring, Warhol, and Romero Britto pieces, but keep your eye out for the very rad UR New York!
Egg sandwiches are legit here. Customize it with anything from sun-dried tomatoes to avocado. Solid ciabatta, too.
Great sandwiches and sweets from City Bakery. Try the salty-buttery pretzel croissant.
Service is meh, but go here for the patio. Great spot to sit outside with friends + cocktails, or park on some of the comfy couches in the sun.
