So much to see here, don't miss the lunch counter where "sit ins" occurred…
The "park bench" scene which opens the film Forrest Gump was filmed on the north side of Chippewa Square. The bench was a fiberglass prop, rather than one of the park's actual benches.
We really love this place. Try the Montreal-style flatbread wonder called the Ruth Wilenksy. Seriously though, we haven't had a bad sandwich here. Critics' choice for best sandwich shop.
Top-notch sushi at a good price. Every bite of raw fish on rice is a joy, but you'll miss out if you don't try one of the hot dishes, like the silky uni porridge. Critics' choice for best sushi bar.
Sleek, candlelit wine bar featuring excellent an Italian wine list, is one of the city's most romantic and underrated spots. Winner of Village Voice Best of NYC Critic's choice for best wine bar!
