New York / Restaurant

Best lobster roll outside of Maine. The brunch is a well kept secret. Chicken and waffles and shrimp & grits are my picks for brunch.

New York / Shop

A well-curated vintage movie poster store. Smart and friendly staff.

New York / Restaurant

Have you ever had Uzbek food? Me neither until I went to Nargis Cafe. It's kinda like middle eastern food mixed with Ukranian food. It's so good and so inexpensive.

New York / Food Store

I buy gigantic dry-aged steaks and 1.5-inch pork chops here. The staff is really friendly and helpful.

New York / Restaurant

Best pizza in NY. Be prepared to wait. Check to see if they are shut down by the health department or tax collectors before going. Get the square pie with pepperoni and hot peppers.

My favorite Chinese food spot. The best Peking duck! Ignore the C health code rating in the window, they must have made a mistake ;) Also, It's BYOB with no uncorking fee, go crazy.

New York / Other

Brooklyn tattoo shop specializing in American traditional style work. Everyone is super nice and cool.

New York / Bookstore

Amazing curation by a passionate knowledgeable staff. Art, Design, Photo, Architecture, books etc.

New York / Restaurant

Been going here a long time. Solid Italian spot with freshly made pasta. Get the cavatelli with Sausage.

New York / Theatre

Great film curation, cocktails, and restaurant. They keep the foodservice and theater separate which is great because I get distracted easily.

New York / Restaurant

My favorite restaurant to pop in spontaneously on a weeknight. Get the lamb burger with sardines and a mezcal negroni. It also has my favorite looking bathroom in NYC.

Roll N Roaster is a fast food place in Sheepshead Bay that has been open since 1971. Get the roast beef sandwich with cheese and a bottle of Moet champagne (not joking).
