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

Great mid-eastern food in Chelsea/Flatiron/NoMad/whatever you call that area.

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

Daytime café, nighttime bar. Nothing stronger than 30-proof. Delicious beer and really good wine. Kind people run & staff the place. The garden in the Summer is perfect. I make near-daily visits.

Dumbo, which stands for 'Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass,' is a neat neighborhood in Brooklyn that is at an awesome vantage point of Manhattan. There are cool rocks on the shore of Brooklyn Bridge Park that are fun to relax on and sneak alcoholic beverages.
