"Long lasting mani pedi for $21 at this NYU favorite. Most of the friendly technicians have worked here for years. Best value table massage and facials, too."

"Ask to sit in the back where the pedi chairs face a garden courtyard with a fountain. Such a treat for any New Yorker."

"bottles of wine are half price on Wednesday nights"

"Kids of all ages love playing in the water here. Good times!"

"Ask for your burrito on lettuce instead of in a wrap for two meals worth of healthy goodness for $6 - $7."

"Check out the farmer's market on Saturday mornings for fresh produce, baked goods, and local treats. There is a yoga class on the lawn by under Higgin's Bridge at 10 am, too."
