I've been eating burgers at the Corner Bistro for over 12 years...solid stuff, but try their fries. They cook them in the same oil as the bacon so there is a hint of bacon-y goodness in every bite.

Another Magnolia, this time serving up delicious treats in Midtown. Everyone knows about the great cupcakes but if you haven't had it yet, try the banana pudding. Fantastic.
Favorite afternoon spot. Share sushi, chowder, pad thai, crepes or smoothies and then walk to the Highline. Perfection everytime. - Jake Manabat, Hunting Season

One of the Brooklyn new school of locavore-crazy, market-driven ingredients, Robert's is in many ways what happens when hipster chefs get it right.
The best old-school bakery in Greenpoint. The intoxicating aroma of sugar and coffee draws you in, and you can’t help but get a cup of joe and a french cruller for about $2.
There are 3 reasons to be here: 1) you're not from around here 2) you are forced to by employment 3) someone's holding a gun to your head
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.

Obsessed: The Mean Grean, Acai bowl w/ almond butter, coffee-n-cacao, killer xx...can't go wrong.
I was only in this place for 20 minutes, but I want to go back. Great layout, retail up front, bar in middle and chill lounging in the back. They also serve food items. Extensive beer selection

10 cent wings, 15 cents if you want the honey wings, a nice big selection of craft beers. You may think 10 cent wings they must be tiny. Oh no, they are nice and juicy, go there and give em a try.
Don't bring a backpack if you're coming here for the free Friday..the coat room line takes longer than the ticket line! 20+min
If you want to be there around sunset, make sure you buy your tickets ~1 hour before. Unfortunately, the deck does not go through the west side, so cannot see the amazing colors directly.

I lived in Italy and ate pizza all over the world. This is definitely one of the best. A must try!! Luca Brasi pizza for me is amazing.
Walk in, say what you're looking for, have the Bra Whisperer look at you for five seconds, take the bras she hands you, find they fit perfectly, pay, and walk out. Best bra shopping experience ever.
