A now-iconic Chinatown eatery with a mouthwatering menu of health-conscious eats.

This little French-Morroccan restaurant is a perfect place for meeting artist friends and, of course, great escargot.

Apart from Dia Beacon, in Beacon (upstate New York about an hour away from Grand Central Station) and also the Judd Foundation in Soho, this institution is absolutely one of my favourite places to visit and it is located in Long Island City, Queens. It showcases sculpture in the broadest sense and has an incredible building that used to be a workshop that refurbished and fixed subway cars. It has been running since 1928 and when you visit you will definitely see why that is.

Delicious soft scrambled egg, cracked pepper and speck for breakfast or lunch :-)

If you are looking for extraordinary studio-space, rental and awesome customer service included: this is your place to have your photo-shoots happening! There is also a lot of attractive outdoor options in the area around Greenpoint.
