An amazing Saturday morning spot for a coffee and a cut. Their coffee sits with some of the best in the city and their breakfast items are simply a treat.
The East Village classic brunch. Excellent pancakes, Dutch-style (crunchy edges, fluffy middle with in season fruit). Good value steak and eggs and sausages and oysters. Don't forget the bloody marys!
Fantastic vinyl shop. If you don't know where you're going it can be VERY easy to miss. Great selection, well organized, tons of equipment and friendly/knowledgeable staff! A must for vinyl fans!
Ugh. So good. Order a tagine for lunch or the Mediterranean eggs for breakfast. Great atmosphere, great Moroccan tea. No complaints here.
Burger was delicious, umami-y and satisfying, the tahini ranch salad was great and the sorbet was unbelievable. Pretty mind blowing take on classics, and not expensive!
There's pretty much no seating so plan on taking your matcha to go. The matcha lattes (hot or iced) are super smooth and arguably the best in the city. I recommend getting yours with almond milk.
Tons of delicious pastries, old school vibe. I really like the frutti di bosco tart.
The walls are lined with rubber stamps set to print snakes, stop signs, stars, skeletons, strawberries and more. You can also design your own stamp, using original drawings and high resolution images. Leia mais.
Cutest little gift/home shop with some beautifully curated antiques. Best tchotchkes in New York.
Best oyster happy hour in the city. $12 for a beer and 6 oysters of your choosing. 5-7 pm. Feel free to ask to taste a few beers if you're on the fence.
Tricky to find (have to go to 2nd floor & through an unmarked door at a neighboring restaurant). Cocktails are AMAZING. Try the Thai gin one (forgot the name). Tastes just like Thai curry.
Has been my death row meal for a few years now. Pork buns, a seasonal appetizer, and the crispy rice cakes with spicy pork and Chinese broccoli. Great Korean flavor profile, updated perfectly. Love it
Intro to Awesome punch bowl is refreshing, and the decor will put you in just the right mood to be sipping out of a tea cup.
Truffle seafood broth was incredible. Get the honey butter chips with ice cream at the end of the meal. It's a game changer.
Incredible service, amazing reasonably priced tapas. Order the soft shell crab, truffle Mac and cheese and pork belly tacos
One of the best places in the city to see a movie. Great seats. Awesome selection of independent and foreign films.
Menu is always changing but pick 3-4 plates and share. Apple donuts are a MUST. Best Italian in EVill
Open the door and enter an unexpected underground world as if you are in Japan! Huge selection of affordable sake
Split scoop is what you want if you're 1 person and want 2 flavors. Double scoop is what you want if you're sharing (or if you're just a solo ice cream fiend). Speculoos flavor is a must.
