The different views of the skyline are unbelievable. I especially like rooftop views from different apartment buildings. Try to get on top of an apartment building. This is the view from my apartment...

Delicious soft scrambled egg, cracked pepper and speck for breakfast or lunch :-)

This little French-Morroccan restaurant is a perfect place for meeting artist friends and, of course, great escargot.

A wonderful farm in the middle of NYC.

Tucked away on the second floor, it’s easy to forget you’re in the middle of Manhattan. Order the Ika geso (squid legs) and the nankotsu (chicken cartilage), my personal favorites. You might notice people waiting around a nondescript door inside the restaurant; this is actually the entrance to the speakeasy bar Angel’s Share.
