I've seen so many great classic movies on film here. Being able to have that experience is one of the things that I feel lucky living in this city.

This is one of my favorite bars in Manhattan. It has a courtyard in the middle and they only serve a large selection of Belgian beer. It's always dark with red lights so it's like a giant darkroom with everyone developing hangovers instead of film. The courtyard creates a front bar that is open on the weekends, so if you get cornered talking about architecture you can escape over to the front bar and watch people walk down 4th street.

I’m crazy for pork buns and ramen. The wait is always long at Ippudo but I never regret it.

Vegan and magnificent!

Getaway not far from the city. Nice beach, surreal pool. Next to Fire Island (which is also super nice).
