Mother effing donut ice cream sandwich. Red velvet donut + cookie and cream ice cream is the way to go.
Girls happened here. Hannah donned pants with “a slim leg” and joined Ray as a barista at this BK coffee spot.
16-lane bowling alley, 600-capacity performance venue with live music 7 nights a week. The food is by Blue Ribbon and the fried chicken is NOT to be missed! Home of Lebowski fest! The Dude Abides.
Get a Saturday afternoon tour at the Brooklyn Brewery. Last departure into the depth of hops and barley leaves at 4pm.
Fancy? Maybe. Snobby? Not at all. Sit at the bar and talk to friendly bartenders who know what they're doing. Order the oyster and scallops!! The porkbelly melts in your mouth.
The wide selection encompasses everything from no-name 70s vintage to $40 DVF wrap dressed, and the music and the people-watching are both always top-notch.

Look left when inbound or right when outbound on the upper level to see Track 61, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt old private platform. His armor-clad train car is still there. 続きを読む

Stop in for some good, cheap Japanese food. The spicy tuna onigiri is a must try! At $1.75 you can't go wrong.
It's Japan's answer to IKEA. Sleek, minimalist, well-made home goods & clothes. Perfect for NYCers, and the calm music is a definite bonus.
Originally from Portland, this NYC transplant has friendly baristas and great cofee. Ask for your drink in a mug and relax in the nearby lounge.
Built in the 30s, this was an active railway until 1980. "Friends of the High Line" formed in 1999 with the idea of turning it into an elevated park similar to the Promenade Plantée in Paris.
Brick oven cheesiness. Another one of NYC's best spots to get a pizza. They don't do slices so either come here with some friends or be prepared to eat an entire pie by yourself!
A beautiful park and a must see for any visitor. It's perfect when you just want to sit on a bench and read a book or do some people watching. On nice days you can find all sorts of live music too.
Cute Japanese place w/ awesome lunch specials and jazz music... What else?

Not much has changed at McSorley's over the years (no ladies until 1970), but that has created NYC's best drinking experience. Order a round of light and darks, bring cash and "Be Good or Be Gone".
Hole-in-the-ground izakaya with a great selection of sake and shochu. The most authentic one I've found in NYC yet.
Go up the stairs and into the noodle bar. There's a discreet door on the left that takes you into a beautiful cocktail bar.
Order a plate of okonomiyaki for the table and don't forget the cotton candy on your way out.
Dine for under $10 in East Village? This hot spot is special in that they hand-pull their own noodles and take a more traditional approach to Chinese cuisine. Not a noodle fan? Go for the lamb face 続きを読む

The iced coffee, both a delicious and dangerous choice, automatically comes with an extra shot of espresso (red eye). Lactards beware - no soy or almond milk here!
Apparently "Japanese-style" iced coffee = hot brew over ice and it's delicious and strong. Get some!
NY. Best Italian sandwich spot in the city. It's for purists, no substitutions, no lattes. Just sandwiches. The Matthew & Alyssa hit the spot.
The first specialty coffeehouse in NY. Awesome, awesome coffee, and the baristas as well as the caffeine addicted customers are super friendly.
