My first job in the city. The family and friends and raised New York Megan. Also very good coffee. And lovely neighbors.

Neighborhood lunch place / Japanese supermarket. Love it for its authenticity and affordable Japanese food menu. Although its located in SOHO, it’s not hip, not fancy, not designed, not styled, not outstanding. Feels like a honest, family run business that makes the most out of this location for sure. Come here for Ramen, soba, sushi, and more. Try some fries with a choice of chili or wasabi mayonnaise. There’s something about them.

The amazing sidewalks across the street from the New York Public Library.

This botanical garden is massive. If you like to be surrounded by foliage, bring a picnic on a nice day.

Guided visits to 101 Spring Street offer direct engagement with Donald Judd’s art and vision. Advance reservations are required.
