We suggest the 5-Napkin Burger-the taste is great, the quantity abundant, and the onion rings we got on the side instead of fries are some of the best in town-and NYC is an onion-ring-challenged city!
Wow, request a table by the window. Maybe the best view in NYC with live music. Definitely the only restaurant with a 5 star feel at an amazingly reasonable price. Perfect for a romantic date.

Try the Lagavulin distillers edition. Peat flight has excellent whiskeys. The bartenders are super friendly and knowledgable.

The rare vegan restaurant we love, Blossom does enough amazing things with vegetables that you'll never miss the meat (or dairy).
Soy bacon cheeseburger and southern seitan sandwich are both delicious. Dessert is worth it too.
Unfortunately this beautiful Art Deco building’s observation deck has been closed since 1945. The marble lobby is open to visitors though, and it’s free!

Amazing place if you're a book lover. A bit overwhelming, so definitely have an idea of what you're looking for before you venture in there. ;-)
The city's biggest and best farmers market, open Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., year-round.
The bakery that began the cupcake craze is still the best. We suspect it’s the lick-your-fingers-to-get-the-last-bit-of-butter-cream frostings and fillings. They do a mean banana pudding too.
I think this one is better than Magnolia Bakery at Rockefeller Center. Just my personal fav. Get a slice of cake- the hummingbird is out of this world.
At this classic burger spot all the ingredients come together like a great jazz rhythm section. One taste of their sliders and you'll be coming back for more. Read more.
Quick snacks & meals. International selection plus healthy fresh juices, artisanal coffees & desserts. Great atmosphere.
New York location of the great Seattle-based cheese shop. The grilled cheese sandwiches are some of our favorites.
Manhattan meets Shanghai in this stunning rooftop bar. This is the place to impress out-of-towners or that special someone. Drinks are EXPENSIVE…$24 a pop! But it’s worth it.
One of Danny Meyer's fine-dining restaurants; we'd recommend sitting in the more casual Bar Room for equally delicious fare at lower prices.
One of the best places to pick up small nick nacks and great/unique postcards, letters, envelopes and general stationary. I highly recommend this place to any design student.
Everything sold is licensed so everyone involved is making their money. Shop was originally a comic store facing eviction, so owner figured he may as well enjoy himself.
A small shop devoted to taquitos—rolled up and fried tacos—best for post-drinking snacks. Open late.
The vegetarian Clean Slate is as vibrant as it is hefty — it’s fearless, if a sandwich can be such a thing. The ice cream sandwiches are equally rich and delicious; order both and share with a friend. Read more.
Boerum Hill, Brooklyn's Nunu is an independent shop that uses their fairly good chocolate, made right in the back, as the hot chocolate base. Ask them to whip it by hand, not with the steam wand. Read more.
Really like the lobster roll "Maine style." Be sure to "hook it up" andtry the pickles and cole slaw
The flagels here are awesome, as are the wide variety of cream cheese options. A bit on the expensive end as far as bagels go, but they're still worth it here.
Not a great location but the Kabocha Brulee Cake (Warm Japanese pumpkin cake, walnut soil, condensed milk ice cream) was amazing! Will be back 😋
An excellent bar burger, well-griddled, juicy and blanketed in melty American cheese. Read more.
Butter-crusted pies with fillings that are more hipster than Great Plains Grandma in style and substance. We adore their chocolate oatmeal pie, plus anything double-crusted with apple or rhubarb.

Whacky flavors of soft serve, sweet cake balls, and fat, chewy cookies are the hallmarks of this bakery.
New to our 'hood in 2012, One Girl Cookies has quickly become a favorite for their whoopie pies, Stumptown coffee, and enjoyable seating (great people watching).
THE BEST vegan sandwiches I've found in Brooklyn so far. I'm not joking either.
THE place to get souvenirs from both nintendo and Nyc. I do wish the "museum" was actually bigger. Like the history and evolution of each legendary nintendo character, for example.
still have yet to try the famed cronut, but all other pastries are equally delicious and beautifully presented. yummy.
A local's favorite, a perfect rest stop for a tourist. A New York delight! Don't forget to grab some fresh fruit at this original Dean & DeLuca location.

Check out the amazing re-worked salvaged furniture and mesh jewelry -- all locally made! Read more.
Come for the art books, stay for the shows & other events. See their website for listings. For performances that pack a more avant-garde punch, head to St. Ann's Warehouse. - Green Guide Editor
This store has some cool art, cards, and other items. I like that they play trip hop and reggae, and I love their pug!
Amazing vintage clothing! Don't forget checking the jewelry pieces! They are really cheap and if you like vintage daisy necklaces they got tons of them
Epic vintage paradise, with everything from soft, thin t-shirts, to forty-dollar Frye boots (a serious deal). Read more.
My favorite place to pick up plants, especially ferns and succulents. The original shop in Chicago has a very modern feel but the Brooklyn shops has embraced a slightly more organic look, which I love
Wonderful handmade/vintage goods from a few local designers. Come back often, there are always new and unique items being added!
Great little shop with all the "basics" and some very unique items and super tea towels and kitchen textiles.
Check it out! A very nice place, awsome shops and bars. I'm glad that I found it. ;-D
One of the best resale shops in the city. Everything is organized by color, but don't forget the back room with tons of vintage dresses, you're sure to find a treasure there.
John Brown's pork spare ribs ($8 for 1/4 slab) "are not messy or reliant on sauce; the flavor and smoky aroma stand on their own bones."
one of the most wildly underrated and inventive ice cream shops in the city. pop-ups are good as an intro but come to their permanent location to enjoy their specials
If you’re only going to eat here once, you have to have a bagel (get the pumpernickel) with cream cheese & lox, but they also have other smoked fish, caviar & desserts. You can’t go wrong here. Enjoy!
