Lunch there before a visit at the MET with a walk in Central Park

Bluestockings Cooperative is a community-supported bookstore and activist space.

My favorite restaurant in Manhattan, it's super fresh, vegan/vegetarian and tasty and the staff is wonderful.

I had been living in Brooklyn Heights for some time and Long Island Restaurant has been closed for as long as I could remember. Then one day, the sign was lit up and not long after the new owners had resurrected the spot with the promise to the previous owners the name and sign never changes. Order "A Martini" from the menu. It's divine. As are the french fries. They're double fried.

A non-collecting arts institution that fosters experimentation and dialogue through exhibitions, public programs, and artist residencies.
