PureWow: "This cozy wine bar has one of the best deals in town: $22 on bottles, a $6 glass of the day and a huge selection of $5 bites. Best of all, it’s Mon-Thurs from 5-8pm and weekends from 4-8pm."
Kim Pham: "A very friendly coffee shop. The deconstructed latte is actually lovely - shot of espresso, milk, and a finished latte (with a wafer + water to cleanse the palate)."
Fabian Martin: "WOW! The Khao Soi is to die for!!!! Definitely try it. This rivals anything I’ve had in Thailand and that says something. The duck noodles are also very good!"
Jessica Lin: "Top collection of incredible works, currently Basquiat, across 4 floors of a beautiful building. Several rules & a pain to get a ticket but a show of this caliber for free in NYC is really special."
Lori Luo: "This cafe and ice cream shop is the perfect place to unwind during the day or after dinner. Free WiFi is available, as are excellent ice cream flavors (Earl Grey, Pistachio, Currants & Cream)."
Ms Helene: "Most things are better than they sound namely the garlic shrimp, spicy tuna soypaper roll and steamed mushrooms. Skip the octopus kale salad and kimchi though."
Marie La Rue: "A truly magical place. Such small businesses give the East Village its character. Unmatched selection of stamps, they can even make them custom-made."
Gothamist: "The walls are lined with rubber stamps set to print snakes, stop signs, stars, skeletons, strawberries and more. You can also design your own stamp, using original drawings and high resolution images."
ℳ𝒶𝓎♍: "Best running track outdoors in the city. I always start from the lowest point of the park and run all the way up on the East River. The park itself is amazing with soothing views of Queens/Brooklyn"
Emilie Dishongh: "Secretly some of the best river views of the city, from the Corlears Hook view of the Statue of Liberty, to the promenade under the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges."
David Narazaki: "All of the udon dishes are good beyond words. I dont know what Raku is using to create their soup stock,it is clean crisp and packed with umami. The udon has a mouthfeel second to none.A new regular."
Jeff Woo: "A really special chewy udon noodle imported from Japan. The Niku is the star and it's amazing. The Ankake is thick and tasty, just a couple examples of many wonderful bowls"
