Five words-- Pernil sandwich with a twist. The creamy sweetness of the ripe #plantains... the yummy pork... and then there's the green #mojo-- just put it on EVERYTHING. You're welcome. :-)
Great empanadas especially the chicken one. Love la bola de yuca (cassava) and the beans are to die for!
Green Sauce = CRACK
Breakfast buffet - house made granola and greek yogurt, scrambled eggs. Lunch buffet - coconut chicken bbq chicken and sushi Friday's!
Get the Tobago smoothie, you will thank me
The most unbelievable salad/lunch place. Talk about high line deli, this is it.
Pork entree fantastic, duck really good, too.
For $39, the "bottomless brunch" covers unlimited small plates and all the Sangria, Bloody Marys or Margaritas one can handle. (There is a two-hour limit to the bottomlessness.) Read more.
Get the Grand Margarita!
Great food Great wine selection. a must stop if in midtown. Try everything it's all delicious
A Spanish restaurant that specializes in tapas; we're particularly big fans of the dessert Buñuelos. The Bull-Tail Sliders are a good pick too!
“So broadly Spanish (‘modern’) as to include accents of old colonies and rival powers,” with “a casual, airy bar area for tapas and a formal dining room, with Iberian maroons.” Read more.
Best Paella I have ever tasted in NY and the red wine sangria was perfectly balanced! Will definitely come back.
Good paella made to order that holds up well for takeout.
Yumminess by way of sangria and scallops and the pork belly (and a very attractive, flirtatious Spaniard named Carlo).
This place has lost its grilled meats on paddles and consequently, part of its mojo. Still up to snuff: Okinawa stir fry, fish collar, Kamameshi rice pots, sauteed noodles in stone pot.
Authentic Japanese izakaya style menu. Probably one of my favorites in NY
Come here for excellent Japanese cuisine, great desserts (try the Matcha Tiramisu!), and a sizable sake menu.
Cleanest public bathroom EVER. The games, library, and outdoor concerts in the summer and shops in the winter make this one of the best parks in NYC
“Many of the midday strollers in the park are office workers; they have the subdued mood of prison inmates released into the yard for their daily hour of sunshine and exercise.” —Victor Chen, 1974 Read more.
Try estimating the percentage of women here. On a recent weekday, it was 53%, according to the park's engineer, who considers that a success. "Women are more discriminating park users," he says. Read more.
Book early for the Afternoon Tea at The Palm Court restaurant in the hotel. The food is magnificent, service excellent and the Rose verve Champaign is tasty.
Unfamiliar with the city and hiding out from fans, Charlie Chaplin once stayed here in 1916 because he didn’t know of any other hotel where you could dine. Read more.
This historic landmark hotel has been seen in dozens of movies. Catch a glimpse through while making your way to Central Park.
Just opened today! Delicious menu and friendly staff. Try the Sweet Uncle Fred--toasted banana bread with ricotta, strawberries, honey, and toasted almonds--and a piccolo latte. Happiness.

Impossibly large. Come to see the architecture, the constellation murals inside, and the statues and gargoyles outside. Bring a wide angle lens :D
This is where it all begins. Or ends. Where S returned from boarding school, where B headed to Yale, and where D and S struck up an unlikely romance. (I Will Always Love You) Read more.

Definitely one of my favorite coffee houses in NYC. Get the Chai Latte—it's on the sweeter side but it's so good!
Drip coffee, fresh bakery and even almond milk. Communal table in front great for meetings. Back library perfect for relaxed reading. Could use more seating, but for Midtown East this is a real cafe.
This coffee shop carries a greatest hits list of pastries from great bakeries around the city.
Beef carpaccio was very good with nice mustard and parmigiana reggiano. Good choice.
