Liza Ramsammy: My favorite cupcakes in the city ... Can't go wrong with the original vanilla on vanilla or red velvet. The banana pudding is to die for also!

The Corcoran Group: One of our favorite Midtown afterwork spots. We definitely recommend ordering the delicious Banana Bread Beer - but if that isn't your style, go for the sampler and try a few!
Untappd: Located on 55th and 2nd, this small little bar has tons of taps and great food. There is a special private area in the back with lounge chairs and TVs. Great selection!

Julia Kaplan: Best selection of oysters for a $1 happy hour I've ever seen! Also a great wine list and helpful, friendly service.
The Wall Street Journal: The restaurant's yellow fin tuna confit sandwich, topped with fried artichokes and served on fresh focaccia, is a favorite. Read more.
Dustin Lee: Check your bill before you pay. They put a $50 gratuity on my (originally) $127 bill and then proceed to give me an attitude when I asked about it.
