VERY popular Australian joint across from Mcarren Park. As obnoxious as it is waiting for a table, I have to say, the popularity is warranted. Great food and people watching. Even greater burger. If you have a bottomless stomach, the ricotta pancakes are pretty epic.

Getting Around

The F train at 2nd ave can take you across to Soho, through the West Village, up to Bryant Park, and Rockefeller Center, etc. Because it's so central, you can walk most places (east or west) of your stop. If you take it heading south it will take you to downtown Brooklyn. (Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, Red Hook, Prospect Park, and the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens)

Arts & Culture

1977, the New Museum is a leading destination for new art and new ideas. It is Manhattan’s only dedicated contemporary art museum and is respected internationally for the adventurousness and global scope of its curatorial program. The New Museum began as an idea in the mind of founding Director Marcia Tucker. As a curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art from 1967 through 1976, Tucker observed firsthand that new work by living artists was not easily assimilated into the conventional exhibition and collection structure of the traditional art museum. Spend an afternoon here, then pop over to Uncle Boon's for dinner.

Take a guided tour through the artist Donald Judd's live/work studio. "After 11 years of planning and intensive-yet-delicate restoration, Donald Judd's Soho home and studio looks exactly the way it did in 1994: the year the famed American abstract artist passed away. Judd bought the five-story building in 1968 for $68,000 after outgrowing his old workspace; over the last decade, his eponymous foundation sold off art from its collection to fund a $23 million overhaul of the historic structure at the corner of Mercer and Spring streets. Filled to the brim with iconic art, curios, and personal effects arranged precisely the way Judd had them"
