St. Mark's is a deluge of small restaurants, izakayas, bars and hot dog places with secret bars. Great spot to start the night.
One of my favourite spots on St. Mark's for the vibe. Come here for the crazy Japanese posters and stay for the beef penis.
A great first-time-in-NYC spot. Make a reservation on the day of to get a spot.
Bit of a wait for this one. Tell the bartender what kind of things you like and he'll make it for you as a real speakeasy should.
Oldest Dim Sum spot in NYC. Decor is like an old-school Chinese Tea House movie set.
My go to spot to pick up something and chill at Washington square park. Vermicelli is bomb, but you can't go wrong with other options!
A New Yorker staple. Grab a SoHo Square (the one with dem crispy pepperonis) and munch it while you crush the streets of SoHo with your Pizza Swag.
This is a go-to spot when my friends come to visit. Sisig, Crispy Pork Belly Adobo, Chicken Wings, and Coconut Rice to top it off for the epic MEAT SWEATS.
Lots of unique dessert ideas apart from the famed Cronut. Try the Frozen S'more on a stick or Cookie Cup with Milk, or anything else that your eye fancies.
Sit at the bar for amazing service. Every night between 5 and 7, $12 will get you half a dozen oysters and a great beer.
After a day strolling around Williamsburg, this might be a fun way to end it if you're looking for something more low-key.
Peep the performers in the Summer time. Grab something on Macdougal St, then come here and chill.
Amazing view of the Manhattan Skyline and the Brooklyn Bridge. Lots of people like to walk along the bridge and finish their journey here with the nearby Shake Shack!
Concerts, Bowling, Dancing, and Fried Chicken. Also, Questlove DJ's here on Thursdays.
Come here on a Saturday, pick up something tasty and catch a view of Manhattan.
oh man. the fried chicken. the waffles. the mac and cheese. just get a veggie side so you can claim it was a little healthy.
A true New York original, absolutely order the incredible pastrami, but be warned about re-enacting Meg Ryan's famous performance from 'When Harry Met Sally' filmed here!
"Milon and Panna II have been embroiled in a rivalry for over 20 years that has no end in sight... The feud can be summed up with one simple question: who came up with the idea for the lights?" Read more.
Burlesque, burners, human circus vibes, sparkles, unicorns, disco. You won't be disappointed
Look up at the ceiling. A dichotomy between the vastness and space of the ceiling and standing in a massive ocean of people.
Bagel with Lox and Cream Cheese: Doesn’t get more New York than this. Unreproducible. - Anthony Bourdain, No Reservations
I don't know why I'm not always here. Pool tables, ping pong, shuffle board and live jazz! What else could you want?
Classic spot people go to to experience ramen in NYC. If the lineup is too much, the nearby Zundo-Ya has a solid Tonkotsu as well.
Great coffee in the day time and even better sake at night. Very hip decor - feels like a little shop in Tokyo.
The lamb burger is a great solo dish. If you've got a big party, you can order an entire piggy ahead of time!
Great weekend group hangout spot. So many options afterwards. Ample Hills for Ice Cream, Insa for K-BBQ & Karaoke, or Dinosaur BBQ for American BBQ and live music.
If the crowd in SoHo is driving you nuts on your shopping spree, come here and chill in the backyard. Rapha is another good option for that as well.
Excellent, natural ice cream flavors - they even have vegan options. Try the honeycomb.
Probably the best texture of noodles you can find in New York. It's like eating strips of a cloud!
