Mekelburg's is equal parts hipster bodega, bar and sandwich haven. I always go for the cheese counter, the babka and the late night fried chicken sandwich, which is hands down one of the best I've had in NY. 

The Christmas light House in the Bronx is a neighborhood fixture that is hard to miss. It is decorated year round with life size statues and is painted  bright pink. Though it draws most of its audience during the holidays it is an anomaly throughout the seasons. Such a bizarre place with such exuberant colors and vibrancy attracts an artists eye and will draw you in.

I just go there alone. More than the movie I´m watching it´s like a shelter on weekdays afternoon.

When I have a bit of money I like to go there with friends to celebrate our happiness and miseries.

SITUATIONS is a contemporary art gallery in Manhattan that exhibits artists from the United States and abroad.
