Boutique that is dangerously good and full of gems.

The glorious orange gates in Central Park in 2005.

Having the experience of owning and running a coral reef aquarium (and frequenting this particular shop about once a week) - I was sad to hear it closed it's doors. Their reef display tank was always amazing. These pictures were taken from PetCo at Union Square (I also used to go there for my saltwater needs).

Extra Chinese Restaurant. Have the ChongQing Wings if you Dare.

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