Food Scene

With the tourist trap Magnolia Bakery so close I always want to steer guests to this charming little spot instead. Their chocolate croissant is a delightful buttery indulgence.

A few blocks north is the charming and dimly-lit Waverly Inn. A celebrity haunt that may have lost some of its luster, it's no less enjoyable than it was at the height of its fame. Grab a cozy booth, have a martini (or three), and spend the night eating some comforting french-influenced cuisine.

For the most romantic and delicious Italian meal walk on over to L'Artusi. Dimly lit, always packed, with an extraordinary wine list and pastas to match. Don't skip the pici (my personal favorite) and be sure to save room for dessert. Reservations in advance highly recommended.

I love to cook and the guys at H&C have the best quality meats you can find. I stock up on their farm fresh eggs for breakfast.

Getting Around

I cycle everywhere in the city. If you're up for it, (and the weather is good) definitely the best way to get around. Buy a day pass and stick to the bike lanes!

Arts & Culture

Easy walking distance to the sparkling new downtown museum. Great art and fantastic views of downtown from the top. Grab a bite at UNTITLED (their fantastic in-house restaurant) and take a walk along the Highline after some cultural enrichment!
