Interference Archive is a volunteer-run library, gallery, and archive of historical materials related to social and political activism and movements.

I go here mostly because of the vibe, it”s a French bistro meets a plant shop and the sister restaurant to Tartine in the West Village. The Shakchuka and the fennel salad is delicious, so is the onion soup. Cute Rooftop during the summer. 

Good vibes bar with some of the best food-next-to-your-drink in the city.

Books are Magic is a great local spot for bookworms. The staff is warm and friendly with regular events happening monthly. 

Try it out rooftop-cycling and find magical cactuses on the road!
