This is where I bought Dax Snow's I love You Stupid and Richard Prince's John Duke Book both inspired me a lot.

For oysters & libations. The comprehensive oyster menu changes depending on what they can get that's fresh. If you know anything about oysters or just plain like them, this is without question the spot. Currently my favorite oyster (not always on their menu) is the Skookum.

I remember when I saw Shadows, by Andy Warhol in that big room. I was sitting in a sofa, and felt asleep. When I woke up it felt incredible. When my friends come to visit me it's a place where I like to go all together.

The offices of Captain Olivia Benson! 

This is my favorite bar in the city: original cocktails, an unpretentious crowd and live jazz.
