This is another neighborhood favorite, especially for Sunday brunch which is consistently great.

A community-engaged and accessible arts space dedicated to supporting artists in the production and presentation of public artworks. Socrates does not have a permanent collection and all artworks are temporarily on view.

I go here mostly because of the vibe, it”s a French bistro meets a plant shop and the sister restaurant to Tartine in the West Village. The Shakchuka and the fennel salad is delicious, so is the onion soup. Cute Rooftop during the summer. 

Boutique that is dangerously good and full of gems.

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