Great drinks, casual vibe and candle-lit ambience with stunning tile mosaic flooring segmented by rustic hardwood. 

“When little piggies don’t make it home, they come to Black Tree.” Cozy little restaurant on Orchard with a really diverse farm-to-table style menu, creative preparations and unique cocktails.

Prime location on the corner of Rivington & Ludlow. Amazing collection of leather boots & shoes. 

I love greek food and this restaurant is definitely a standout. Don't leave without trying the tzatziki and the grilled octopus. You won't be sorry. 

An old factory in Williamsburg redeveloped into a trendy hotel and rooftop bar with a great view of Manhattan. #hellofromtheotherside

With experimental flavors like Lavender & Pine Stracciatella and Toasted Baguette & Goat Cheese Fig Jam, this unconventional ice cream shop never disappoints.  

Beautiful new location, modern Renzo Piano building, contemporary American art. 

Authentic hand-pulled noodles and cheap dumplings. A bit of a hole-in-the-wall but delicious — a chinatown must. 

This is a no nonsense punk-rock&roll dive bar with edgy, graffiti-clad walls, cheap beer and free popcorn.
