Mika: "A lovely neighborhood park on the eastern edge of Yorktown in the UES. There are two dog parks and benches all along the water with great views. Very calming especially in the evenings."
Elizabeth Burstein: "Lovely speakeasy, kyoto ramen, pork buns. Cocktails are super cool but taste wise i would want try something other than the pineapple (too medicine y), truffle, and bee. Maybe the ginger one!"
Time Out New York: "You can sip on some of Bemelmans' famous cocktails like the Red Velvet (rye whiskey, spiced plum syrup, egg white, fresh lemon juice, bee pollen) and the Luxury Sidecar."
Hakan Elmali: "Thai food at its best! No sparing of chilies and spices, which I love. The portions are huge and it's very reasonably priced. The service is also very efficient and fast. Strongly recommended."
Layla: "Honestly— best cookies in the world. Warm, sweet, soft inside, crisp on the outside. Get the walnut chocolate chip, it’s honestly the best! For something more sweet, get the double chocolate!"
Brew York: "Rejoice! Upper East Siders can fill their growlers here, peruse the impressive craft beer bottle selection, and saddle up for a pint or two of local beers like Bronx Pale Ale and Ithaca Flower Power."
Roniel Tessler: "This place is incredible and a gem within nyc. The architecture alone is stunning, but be sure to check out their impressive calendar of events."
IrmaZandl ZandlSlant: "Fabulous conservation tour on Thursdays at 10AM. Well worth the time and $10. Excellent history, design, architecture insights."
Cynthia Lin: "Really great value at $75 for the omakase. Never had a cherry blossom leaf which was unique. But definitely order one or two a la carte pieces afterwards, especially the botan shrimp topped with uni"
Eater: "Sake is the natural choice for a sushi pairing, and Tanoshi lets diners bring their own, but if there happens to be a bottle of Champagne or sparkling wine around the house, bring it."
Nadia Arkhipova: "Hidden gem of the Museums Mile - next door to Guggenheim museum and so much more fun! Very interactive, lots of things to get involved in: design your own building, wallpaper, lamp... Very cool place."
Silene Lim: "If you love 1920s American jazz age, go. Beautiful exhibits of Cartier and Tiffany vanity, cigarette cases, along with jewelry and furniture. During prohibition and migration b/w Paris and New York."
