As someone who grew up in Israel, Israeli kitchen holds a big place in my heart and stomach. In New York, and in London (and Paris, I suppose) it's not the easiest food to find. And when you find a good Israeli run kitchen, you're going to lick your plate clean - promise. I inhale a Miznon pita faster than any other food. It's fresh and it's delicious and it's made with love.

The Porte Saint-Denis marks a multi-cultural spot in the city. Pick any place for food and drinks in Rue du Faubourg Saint-Denis.

Le Verre volé is a cool place where I like to have a deliciously outstanding and friendly lunch. By the way, the no sulfite wines such as “Dard et Ribo” are amazing.

Great Vietnamese labyrinthine restaurant, with huge, filling plates for under €10. My girlfriend has been eating here since she was in the womb.

Chez Jeanette is a cool bar to hang out in located on the same street where I have lived since I was two years old. Many trendy young people hang out here everyday where one can listen to good music whilst sipping nice drinks.
