This is probably my favorite restaurant in Manhattan, it's Spanish Tapas but like you never had it before. You can literally order any dish from the menu, everything is amazing. Tip, it tends to get busy - so head in and sign up for a table, then go around the corner to their bar Jamón only challenge is that you might stay there all night.

I feel like I've watched this plant shop grow up because they've over doubled in size since I first started going! Speaks to the quality of the store and ownership. They have an excellent selection of healthy plants for a great value. This is my go to for green.

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

I could include a separate location for every room at the Met. Each visit is a year's worth of Art-absorbing.

Corner bodega with the best chopped cheese. It will blow your mind.
