Just by sitting on a bench and drinking a coffee in the park, I can be entertained by so many performers and some crazy people.

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

My favorite restaurant in Manhattan, it's super fresh, vegan/vegetarian and tasty and the staff is wonderful.

Webster Hall is a solid venue, and a frequent stop for many great bands on their rise to glory. If you've only got a few nights in the city, chances are a great act will be playing here.

Fun bar to drink/dance. Great sound system and rotating roster of Dj's. Tends to get unbearably crowded on weekends so weeknights are the way to go.
