Out
1. Black Tap
Emily Kane: Worthy of all the hype, good guys making great food. If the counter's full they'll let you drink a beer on the front step while you wait.
2. MoMA Design Store
Emily Kane: Yes, things will be a bit expensive here, but what did you expect? It's a great spot to find unique gifts, especially in the kitchen section.
3. Ruby's Cafe - Soho
Emily Kane: Get the fries. Absolutely transcendent.
4. The Folly
Emily Kane: Pretty solid happy hour that runs until 8 every night. Try out a snazzy rum drink you wouldn't typically order.
5. YN
Emily Kane: Pronounced "wine". Not "why en". I may have been the only person saying it that way, but thanks to the bartender for the explanation.
6. Housing Works Bookstore Cafe
Emily Kane: One of the greatest places on earth. Buy books, see some great events, help people.
7. Morgenstern's Finest Ice Cream
Emily Kane: The Vietnamese coffee scoop will make your summer day a 10/10.
8. Comedy Cellar
Emily Kane: Don't assume you're gonna just waltz in, make reservations ahead of time! Full lineups are posted on their website every Thursday.
9. Barrio Chino
Emily Kane: Are you a level 7 out of 10 hungry? The steak tacos are out of this world, get those with a side of green rice and multiple margaritas.
10. Gasoline Alley Coffee
Emily Kane: Grab an iced Intelligentsia and sit at the window. An adorable little wedge of a spot.
11. Wassail
Emily Kane: Who knew there were so many types of cider in the world. Grab a flight to experience some variety.
12. The Meatball Shop
Emily Kane: Be sure to take advantage of the brunch menu and grab a Buzzed Lebowski while you're at it.
13. Blue Ribbon Fried Chicken
Emily Kane: 10/10. Yes.
14. Rockwood Music Hall
Emily Kane: What's not to love about free concerts? Pay it forward and make sure to save some cash for artist donations.
