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."
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)."
Simon Kratzer: "The food is delicious. I especially liked the potatoes that come with the standard brunch. Unlike other places it has lots of space so the waiting time is usually quite short."
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)."
Ben Mackey: "This place is a hidden jem. Omakase tempura is the star here. It is so perfectly prepared and served. Chef Nicholas and the rest of the staff were extremely friendly. An amazing experience."
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."
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."
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."
