This is a tiny street with a lot of character and can be often missed. I love the little brick houses and coloring of the street.

The design and photography floor at Barnes & Noble bookstore in Union Square.

Fried chicken. Biscuits. Sausage gravy. Artisanal root beer. House-made pickles.

This is my local spot and one of my bad habits. The bartenders make sure I don't do anything to embarrassing and its full of regulars. Has dangerously replaced my living room. It's one of the only real dive bars on Smith street. Layers of funkiness help keep away the frat boys and bachelorette parties. Never closes before 4am so all the other neighborhood bartenders, cooks, and waiters stop by after work. Needless to say that only the best business decisions get made here!

Cafe Mogador has been serving modern takes on traditional Moroccan dishes for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner in the East Village since 1983.
