Best pizza in NY. Be prepared to wait. Check to see if they are shut down by the health department or tax collectors before going. Get the square pie with pepperoni and hot peppers.

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

My favorite place on Bedford Avenue, this bookstore has both new and used titles. If you're patient and look close enough, you can usually find a book that's worth more than they're asking. Not to mention their stellar selection of magazine titles. Good for design, art, photography, sociology, fiction, and everything in between.

Fun selection of mid century and post modern furniture and design objects.

The beauty of the light on the water, with a full view of the changing skyline, always awe inspiring.
