A favorite of the local Kirby area. Delicious fajitas and pitcher margaritas make this a fantastic spot for parties. Good Mexican eating, in my opinion.
A decent BBQ joint with great cuts and sides. Stick around for the complimentary BlueBell 🍨
Historically important to this region, Ellis island is a day long affair if you really want to capture the whole picture. I recommend the hard hat tour and the exhibits they have upstairs
I had the Shogun meal here, which featured a variety of high quality meats for cooking on the grill. Always come with great company, as sharing is vital to the experience
A cozy, underground bar with a selection of games to play with friends. They have pool, shuffle board, ping pong tables, and a live band on certain evenings.
It’s like they took a chunk of an Italian market and shoved it in a store. Come here for any Italian need you have. Fresh pasta bar, meat and cheese market, and wine selection are covered here
Modern takes on classical Hong Kong cuisine. Wholeheartedly recommend eating with friends, as each dish is meant to be shared.
A nice park to catch your breath after walking around the mall and piers nearby
Cozy venue tucked in an area that I recommend finding a ride to and from, as it can get crowded very quick. Two stages here, so be on the lookout for a variety of talent
Decent, trendy taco place with delicious quest and indie fountain drinks. I recommend the Baja Shrimp and Republican on flour!
Nothing short of a local delicacy. I recommend trying their gin based drinks. The Purple Rain was an exquisite drink.
Amazing, and quite literally, hole in the wall restaurant that specializes in the simplicity of a meal of BBQ pork, white rice, and that oily goodness from that BBQ
Their cold brew was smooth and refreshing. Great way to grab a coffee and enjoy the park
Excellent “hidden” joint for a great burger. Really feels like it was transplanted directly from Austin to NYC
This is a must-see for visiting NYC. There’s nothing more incomprehensible than seeing ground zero and the magnitude of that day put out for you.
100% have to see location if you’re any sort of Nintendo fan. Check out their console history upstairs and sample the newest titles for their console, the Switch and a bunch of photo ops with icons!
2 story bookstore with a Starbucks in it, not much to complain about. Location is great for a mid-day reading session cozied up with a coffee
Plenty of seating at this cozy, in-building location to Barnes and Nobles. Read a good book here and get your fix
Meant to be experienced with great friends! The Shanghai noodles, spicy chicken in sauce and fermented black bean oysters were the bomb!
Iconic location near Time’s Square that will fulfill your late night diner and dessert ambitions. Personal favorite is the red velvet cheesecake
