The best place to see a dramatic sunset is right by Valentino Pier in my neighborhood of Red Hook, Brooklyn. This was right after a storm. It's wild and brilliant and peaceful all at once.

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

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.

I love this excellent independent arthouse theater in the Lower East side. Metrograph projects archive quality 35mm and independent films. Tastefully decorated, there is also a candy store, bookstore and restaurant.

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