Must try: French onion soup bites, perogies and halibut tacos. Go hungry - you won't be able to stop at a few dishes!
Walk the whole thing (sunset = best). If its night time, look for the exhibitionists Doing Their Thing in the windows of the Standard Hotel. Sit in sunken mini-theater (you'll know it when you see it)
Pancakes that are worth the five-hour wait on a Saturday, but if you go during the week you just might beat the crowd...
For a totally different MoMA, go on the first Thursday of each month, when the Museum is open 'til 8:45 p.m. with music and a bar.
Cutest restaurant EVER, I nearly died it was so adorable. Crab toast is super delicious too!
Love this place! Amazing atmosphere and great Italian restaurant. Try the sheep's milk ricotta and the beet/goat cheese ravioli-- you won't be disappointed.
Beware: Some museums are more reputable than others. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City? Pretty reputable. The Flagstaff Groundhog & Jackalope Hall of Fame? Less so. Read more.
A scenic walk across the Brooklyn Bridge provides the perfect backdrop to telling someone that they don’t have any friends or for fighting over who is more integral to the marriage equality debate.
The wide selection encompasses everything from no-name 70s vintage to $40 DVF wrap dressed, and the music and the people-watching are both always top-notch.
One of my top 2 go-to spots for dinner in the East Village (the other being Casmir). I always go for: strip steak medium rare, béarnaise sauce, fries, escargot, cabernet. (ps: decent brunch too)
As the name suggests, the Earth Room is a room full of dirt. Rich, dark dirt, knee deep, housed in a 3600 square foot room in Soho, intriguing viewers for the past 30 years.
The Frick Museum is the model for Avengers Mansion, which is in the same location in the pages of Avengers comics from Marvel Comics.
Naveen and I built half of the original foursquare prototype here (pre-SXSW 2009). This was before I was drinking coffee, so I was downing like 5 hot a day here (someone's gotta pay for that wifi!)
The Vancouver direct flight from Newark is definitely better than flying to La Guardia and connecting through Toronto!
By far the least crowded of the three uniqlo stores in New York, all three floors have cashiers and the third floor has always been quick for me.
The New Orleans-themed joint has an absinthe drip built into the accommodating U-shaped bar, plus all manner of cocktails from a Freeman's vet. Dollar oysters from 4 PM - 7 PM. Read more.
This underground gem is decorated to make you feel like you're on some luxury cruise boat or something. Nautical chic.
One of my favorite places to workout while on visits to NYC. You can't go wrong with any of the classes. Be sure to check out all the great products and goodies in their luxurious bathrooms.
Representing legends (like Alighiero e Boetti), superstars (like Anish Kapoor), and rising forces (like Allora & Calzadilla), Barbara Gladstone is the pinnacle of class.
