Coffee Shop · Turtle Bay · 12 tips and reviews
Noah Levin: My fav lunch spot in New York. Try the turkey pastrami ruben made with homemade thousand island and locally sourced sour kraut. Paired with a delicious ice cold kombucha on tap you can't go wrong.
Valerie: Build your own sandwich is great. Definitely try a pretzel roll.
Rick Nelson: Really tasty espresso made from Counter Culture Coffee beans, decent nitro cold brew during the summer, and the breakfast ham sandwich is my favorite!

Meg Towner: Great pasta options here on the hot bar. Made to order pizza and sandwiches too!
The Corcoran Group: One of our favorite markets in the city, but also a great take-out lunch place with yummy sandwiches – try the Fresh Turkey with Brie. Coffee is top notch too!

Scandinavian Restaurant · Midtown East · 106 tips and reviews
Carlos Sanchez: Worthy of both Michelin stars...incredible. Chef's Tasting for dinner all the way. Aquavits are novel and worth a try too.
The Food Sluts: Awesome, precisely prepared, exquisitely plated Scandinavian food. We loved the Nordic seafood with butter-poached lobster, seared diver scallops and Montauk squid ($40). Read more.
Paul Oswald: Order a manhattan at Aquavit. Best Manhattan in Manhattan. Chase it with a Lychee Akvavit. Stumble home.
Dawn Sandomeno: Great spot for a drink outside and the spiciest crab cakes I've ever had inside!
The Corcoran Group: Grab an outside table during the warmer months and enjoy a pitcher of sangria with a Beef Burger or Steak and Eggs. Relax, it’s the weekend, who cares if the service is slow.
Sexy LF: Put down the menu and order the truffle burger. Delish! You'll thank me later. The kale salad with shrimp is also delish but small.
