Start your day on a high note--like, falsetto high--with a breakfast of fried chicken and waffles.
Sit on the steps on the southern edge of the park for some of the best people watching in NYC. Extra credit if you grab a fruit smoothie thing from the guy on 16th and Union Square West.
Getting a horchatta and waking around Soho art galleries is one of my favorite ways to spend a Saturday. Start w/ Clic two block south, or Center of Art and Architecture just across the street.
Newseum numbers: 250,000 sq. ft., 35,000 historic newspaper front pages, 15 theaters, 8 sections of the Berlin Wall (each is 3 tons), First Amendment tablet on Pennsylvania Ave. is 50 tons of marble.
Mondays are Wine Night: bottles are half price and glasses are $5. Treat yourself to a bottle of Cakebread Chardonnay and a table outside, both of which are better shared.
Walk the whole thing (sunset = best). If its night time, look for the exhibitionists Doing Their Thing in the windows of the Standard Hotel. Sit in sunken mini-theater (you'll know it when you see it)
One of my top 2 go-to spots for dinner in the East Village (the other being Casmir). I always go for: strip steak medium rare, béarnaise sauce, fries, escargot, cabernet. (ps: decent brunch too)
Kind of an under-the-radar pick, but the burger here is one of the best I've had in NYC. Also, if you don't order the Scotch Egg I'm going to come down and punch you in the face. It's delicious.
Sit upstairs in the corner and look out over 2nd St & Ave A. One of the best seats in NYC to have a drink. Hint: don't try this one weekend.
As the name suggests, the Earth Room is a room full of dirt. Rich, dark dirt, knee deep, housed in a 3600 square foot room in Soho, intriguing viewers for the past 30 years.

Lovely service, amazing chai latte. and one of the best secluded patios in the area.
Avocado toast with poached eggs and Brussels sprouts. Bloody Mary comes with a beer chaser. Just because.
Any poached egg special of the day is going to be delicious. The one I tried with sauteed watercress and pancetta white bean puree on country toast was fantastic.
ZOMG the Dutch Pancake with pear. Get it to share with the table..and pair it with one of their awesome Bloody's.
The pancakes are better than Clinton Street. Seriously. They are fluffy and coated in blueberry maple syrup with fresh made cream on top. Thick-cut bacon strips on the side, too.
The pumpkin pancakes with fried chicken, honey, and hot sauce are absurdly delicious. Savory and sweet, two for the price of one.
Try the double patty/horseradish/cheddar/onions meatstrosity called the Iron Horse -- but don't make a habit of it, or you'll never be able to shake your caboose. 続きを読む
Try the burger topped with everything from poblano/red onion relish/queso fresco to American cheese/bacon jam/caramelized onion. 続きを読む
Named for a Havana ice cream shop, this is an all-hours "traditional Cuban luncheonette" from the Toloache/Yerba Buena chef's outfitted Caribbean-style. 続きを読む
burger joint hidden inside le parker meridien. i used to come here for lunch all the time.
don't be a girl: order up a double (guinness mustard on top). and a drink on the side. and fries on the other side. what? you had a long day.
