Being on the ground floor of the building I work in, this Japanese outpost serves as my everything store. I appreciate their minimalist aesthetic coupled with their modest pricing.

One of the best places in NYC.

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

A now-iconic Chinatown eatery with a mouthwatering menu of health-conscious eats.

This place is amazing. It's a short walk from our apartment and has an amazing happy hour including cheap guacamole and $4 margaritas. We can spend an hour or five hours here at a time because the environment is so casual, welcoming, and the food is just damn good. Get the lengua or the camaron al mojo de ajo tacos or hongos and rajas con papas if you are vegan.
