All year, we crave the amazing Pumpkin Cake doughnuts from here. Any other pumpkin doughnut pales in comparison.
Not your average Beef and Broccoli. Either wait-it-out or take-it-out, and don’t be misled by the run-down façade.
Grab a seat out back in the garden and enjoy good company and a liter of Radeberger Pilsner with a Bavarian Bretzeln or a Frikadelle mit Pommes Frites.
Complimentary pink Champagne in the ladies room, delicious small plates, lavish décor covering two floors, and fun music…what could be trendier?
Once you've gotten past the doorman (with a reservation or a little creativity) you'll be treated to some of the most entertaining, and unbelievably naughty acts. Dressing up is highly encouraged!
Follow them on Facebook and then attend one of their many weekly pool parties during the summer to enjoy their fabulous Andy Warhol pool.
All the shows at this intimate club are free (unless noted on their calendar). Get up and close with your favorite emerging artists.
Famous for molecular gastronomy and their eclectic menu, but you shouldn’t overlook their cocktails - especially the Snow Globe!
Start with the crisp chips and tangy salsa with a grapefruit habanero margarita followed by the Enchiladas or Antojitos. The music is loud and the wait can be long but it’s worth it.
Who knew that combining two of our favorite things (pancakes and mac & cheese) could be so righteous! Get the Mo’Betta and find out for yourself. Cash only.
Walk down Freeman’s Alley and settle in for a fantastic brunch. We’d go with the Roast Pork Sandwich, The Raised Waffle or the Freemans Piedmontese Cheeseburger.
Alcohol + mini cupcakes = probably the best invention ever. These little guys definitely pack a punch, and make a great birthday treat for a friend. Our favorites: Pretzels & Beer and the Car Bomb.
All meatballs all the time. Dive into a spicy meatball sub slathered with parmesan cream sauce. The choices are endless.
Could this be the best brunch in NYC? Expect a long, but worth it, wait. Then devour an order of the Pear Waffles – a seasonal special!
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!
Try the Hickory Short Rib Burger and the Charred Brussel Sprouts. Excellent microbrew menu as well.
While delicious, the bagels are a bit on the small side. We still love to order one of the many varieties of smoked fish plus cream cheese on an everything bagel, & extra pastrami lox to eat at home!
Be sure to come here to catch a midnight flick, or really at any time. The selection of independent films can't be beat!
Pair their signature Bloody Mary with their crowd-favorite Dutch Pancake. Be sure to get here early to beat the morning brunch rush!
Be prepared to wait in line after line for each exhibit in this beautiful and modern gallery. Check out the view from the rooftop. Free admission every Thursday from 7-9pm.
We love this location not only for the fresh, extensive selection of products, but for the Beer Room and Yuji Ramen upstairs.
When we're downtown, we love to stop in here for a delicious bialy. The bagels are not to be missed either though!
Filled with huge barrels of pickley, crunchy goodness in one tiny store. Everything is pickled: garlic, beets, olives, string beans and okra. We recommend the hot sour pickles or the horseradish pickl
Grab a couple of friends and head here to split the pork pancakes and the big tray of chicken. It's the perfect combination!
A great place to come for either brunch or dinner if you're looking for a British-skewed menu that's a bit higher end and healthy. We LOVE the Scotch Egg.
