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

Authentic Tibetan and Nepalese cuisine. Excellent noodles. Family owned.

I made my decision to move to New York when biking over the pink bridge one afternoon in early fall 2010. I feel like it’s the perfect bridge – with it’s view over Manhattan its great for walks, either visitors coming for the first time, old friends and first dates. I also love exercising running over it – and as a bonus looking at all the graffiti and writings and people passing by.

Prospect Park is a great place to have a water balloon fight, a picnic, a jog, and play with other people's dogs.
