Great mid-eastern food in Chelsea/Flatiron/NoMad/whatever you call that area.

Growing up I’d go to Staten Island a lot due to how close it was to my hometown. It wasn’t until I went back as an adult that I realized the uniqueness of this place, the outdated but also artistically beautiful aesthetic of the island, and appreciated it more. Plus the food (lots of diners and Italian food) is great and people watching is also pretty interesting.

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