Guidebook for New York
Food Scene
This is the best pasta I’ve had in nyc and rivals the best I had in Italy - the Rigatoni with spicy sausage and sweet fennel in a tomato cream sauce is OUTSTANDING.
The White truffle ricotta pizza is great and the rabbit tagliatelle is also excellent.

Inventor of the famous Cronut. The "DKA" (Dominque's Kougin Amman) is the best pastry I've ever had in my life. The Almond Lavendar Croissant is also amazing, as is pretty much everything there. Amazing Coffee too.

One of the best burgers in NYC. Old school NYC place, the space is from the 1800's, complete with antique mirrors, bar, and you can see the multiple different layers/generations of buildings from inside the place. Also located a 5 minute walk from the apt, down beautiful and quaint cobblestone streets. Picturesque and the epitome of Old NYC

One of, If not the, most famous comedy clubs in the world. About a 5 minute walk. You can book reservations for shows online at their website but you can also just walk up to box office 15 minutes before showtime and put your name in. Often famous comedians will show up unannounced to do a set or try their new material - highly recommend! Also the restaurant upstairs is great for a drink/app while you wait.
