Juices, smooothies. It's gotten a little tired and service is lacking, but a good option in the neighborhood. I'd go to De Maria or Two Hands instead though.

Great tacos - lunch special is a deal. My favorite are Al Pastor.

Have wanted to go here for a while. Mexican inspired food that riffs off authenticity but isn't bound by it. The pastrami tacos were interesting although quite pickled, and the guacamole could have used a bit of dialing up in flavor. But an interesting experience...

Great menu, casual disaffected service, I'm either too cool or not cool enough for this spot
Casual romantic Italian, great cauliflower.

Coffee sourced directly from Colombia, in a vibrant, airy space with a living wall. Pair your favorite preparation (from espresso to Kyoto cold brew) with a pastry, Dough doughnut, or freshly cut fruit, and your morning is set.
Love this spot. Coffee, treats, big bright comfy space

Amazing Syrian pastries. The semolina cake is great as are the filo treats. A special place (they recommended Vic's nearby for pizza, too, but haven't been)

Ok BBQ. Very lively atmosphere - lots of beer drinkers, etc. good ribs, decent brisket but not exceptional. My Sidecar cocktail came in a tall tumbler with a LOT of coarse sugar on rim :-/

Great first courses, especially the spicy sausage spread and stratchiatelli! Pizzas ok but could have used a few more moments in oven, according to my Italian friend I was dining with :) no wait at lunch!

Good "craft" cocktails although most on list had sweetener (syrup, agave, etc) in them. Bartender made up this excellent drink with gin, cynar, dry vermouth and cucumber that was outstanding - called the Chin Up.

Not a hotel; rather a unique live theatrical experience. Particularly want to check out Sleep No More.
What a unique experience! "Sleep No More" is a unique immersive theatre experience that brings a new level of surreal and wonderful. Also a great bar, simply out of another era!
Great little market with lots of healthy and gluten-free options, good in the morning as it has many varieties of flavored fun coffee and porridge and smoothies. Decently priced as well.

Happiness has a flaky crust. Just get one of everything. And don't forget a poppy seed bun, a zaatar labneh twist, and a chocolate rugelach. I don't know whether to thank Mira or curse her for resetting my pastry standards after my visit here.

One of my favorites. Have been here a dozen times. Lunch is a great value, and I love the people-watching in this lightbox of a dining room. Sea bass with sweet and sour; asparagus with morels in vin jaune; too many classics to list. My highest recommendation.
Want to go.
I've had really crappy service here. On the other hand, both times I've been, food has been outstanding. Seafood and pasta; but don't ignore the meat - had fantastic steak here too. Will go back.

Hearty, flavorful Italian cooking by Marco Canora. Nicely presented dishes. Great brunch option. I recommend.

Market-driven JG Vongerichten concept inside shabby-chic ABC Home store near Union Square. Super-fresh ingredients, simple but dynamic flavors, excellent flavors. Chef Dan Kluger left in 2014, and I need to go back to update status. Prime celebrity spotting.

Sounds like a wonderful little amazingly curated vintage shop
Just the best for a stroll and all things organic. Come at christmastime for an amazing Christmas market too!

An historical landmark featured in Hollywood movies, like "You've got mail", among others. A thriving hippies floating community at 70's, but drastically shrunken and undoubtedly more clean cut nowadays. It's such a privilege to own a houseboat here.

Bargain and delicious!! Get the lamb and chicken combo, make it a salad with lettuce instead of rice!
Quick, easy, good (though not particularly cheap considering what it is). Outstanding buns and try the Momofuku ramen. No reservations but found it easy to walk in and get a seat at the bar.

Beautiful rooms in a restored 1901 factory near the Williamsburg waterfront. Spaces maintain a nice warmth amidst spare, industrial surroundings - and I'm not just talking about the heated concrete floors. You know you want to stay in Brooklyn.
