this street has been there for so much of foursquare's history – and, of course, for new york city as one of the oldest thoroughfares. our first office used to sit on one end, at cooper square.
Dens: Official after-work bar of team foursquare. If both bathrooms do not have foursquare stickers on the doors/mirrors/toilets, someone's getting fired... #justsaying

naveen: love having breakfasts here: not as packed as Balthazar in the mornings. go on a long early early run, then to an early meeting here and get the protein breakfast. tea on the side!

Jorge Ortiz: Tucked away at the end of the tiny alley of Extra Place, this cute little taco place won't last long with the amount of foot traffic it gets. Get a steak or shrimp quesadilla; skip the sour cream.

naveen: on the north side, in between the 4th and 5th floors (?), a secret staircase with two notches: one: a window that sometimes shows projections on the building opposite; the other: secret rendevous spot
Dens: We threw a massive party here on the eve that Google shut down dodgeball. @harryh made t-shirts (I still have some), me & @arainert DJed & @naveen and I launched foursquare a week later @ SXSW 2009.
naveen: on the corner of two of my most favorite streets in new york city: pell and doyers. they're especially mysterious at night. surprise someone as you're walking through chinatown + grab drinks inside.
