A favorite among locals. They serve really delicious food (mostly "American") at relatively good prices. It's not too fancy, but still "hip" and a cool place to be. On a nice day, grab a table outside

Relatively new and a VERY hot spot. Get there early as they don't take reservations as there's often a wait. Don't leave without having the cheesy foccacia bread. To die for. Also great for brunch.

This place is popular for brunch but also does great luches and dinners, too. My favorite is the hazelnut and orange salad with chicken. Great prices, too and very cute "English" vibe.

Just across the street is a very trendy Latin restaurant serving delicious dishes to those looking for a fancier night out. It's a bit more expensive, but very good food.

I usually make my coffee, but when I don't -- or if I want a treat -- I get a "Stella" from Jack's on W. 10th. It's a coffee with cocoa powder and milk. Yum.

Drinks & Nightlife
Want to feel like you're in Italy? Step into Gottino. They know their Italian wines well here -- and will let you try a bunch before committing. They also serve small Italian tapas that's bellisimo!

Very romantic, plush bar that only serves wine and beer. It's a bit dark inside, but they do have one bench outside. It's very "datey" -- lotsa locals, too.

Doubtful there's anything else like it in NYC. On a nice day this is THE place to be in summer as it's a bar on a boat! There are lots of places to sit on deck and it's packed on the weekends.

Sightseeing
This is one of my favorite places to just sit with a book on a sunny day. (It's also where Miranda got married on Sex and the City!) If you can find an empty bench, sit and relax!

Essentials
This is where I go for groceries. The prices are good and they have a good mix of big name-brand items along with more artisinal items made by local purveyors. It's a bit of a maze to navigate, tho.

Everything Else
This is where I drop my dry-cleaning, should you need to while you're here. It's very cheap and Keith is lovely. They'll usually turn it around in two days.

You MUST go. They have food, shops, art exhibits and more. It's a great rainy day activity as it's mostly indoors. Otherwise, enter on 9th ave, walk the length and exit onto the Highline for a stroll.

This is one of the oldest pharmacies in NYC! But it more than just a pharmacy, they have lush soaps and creams and makeup and a helpful staff. It's more pricey than Duane Reade, but it's history!
