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

I like coming down here with friends when the weather permits and drinking on the beach or on the rocks when the tides come in.

Designed by Frederick Law Olmstead (of Central Park), Prospect Park is where I go running in better weather and find an endless supply of flotsam and jetsam for casting in projects all year round. Thickets of trees, hidden paths, and rolling hills are an endless source of inspiration.

The gorgeous set of the blockbuster play Hamilton, at the Richard Rodgers Theater.

One of the last untapped areas of downtown Manhattan. Hand pulled noodles, cheap eats, and a concentrated area of families make this an often interesting place to explore.
