I always sit in back or near a window. watch snow. bonus points if you score the couch all the way in back: that's my spot
Smith & Mills is one of my favorite places in the city. Better to go earlier in the evening (or on a weekend or on an off-night). Otherwise, the tiny spot is packed+loses charm
I love this izakaya. Just when you thought there was no cool place to eat in this 'hood. Go downstairs, grab a table in the nook or the bar (only two spots I like) and try everything on the menu
on the corner of two of my most favorite streets in new york city: pell and doyers. they're especially mysterious at night. surprise someone as you're walking through chinatown + grab drinks inside.
burger joint hidden inside le parker meridien. i used to come here for lunch all the time.
