This is a must-stop for me when I’m in NYC, but you can’t go wrong at any of David Chang’s restaurants. -Monica Pope, Top Chef
It's off menu, but they almost always have Schweinehaxe (roasted park shank), served w sweet stewed red cabbage, a large dumpling, & a dark smoky gravy. Best Teutonic comfort entree in the city.
After the Museum closes, head over to The Modern for the MoDERN MaRTINI. Cilantro-infused Tanqueray and fresh lime juice.
Recommended: Cereal-milk soft-serve ice cream, chocolate-chocolate cookie, candy-bar pie, chocolate cake with yellow-cake icing, banana cake with hazelnut crunch, Chinese-sausage focaccia. En savoir plus .
One of NY's better bookstores. Sections for international literature and lots of travel and map books.
Sit upstairs in the corner and look out over 2nd St & Ave A. One of the best seats in NYC to have a drink. Hint: don't try this one weekend.
As the name suggests, the Earth Room is a room full of dirt. Rich, dark dirt, knee deep, housed in a 3600 square foot room in Soho, intriguing viewers for the past 30 years.
Indulge in the meatball sandwich at Veselka. Filled with pork & beef-based meatballs, topped with mushroom gravy on a challah baguette. Yum!
Best selection of high end and rare scotches, whiskeys and bourbons in the city. Tell them your taste palate and they’ll find the bottle right for you.
Charmane's Star: Russian standard vodka, cucumber,, shiso leaf, fresh lime, Vietnamese cinnamon infused w agave, herb

Chicken for two is pretty amazing. Split the Carrot entree as an appetizer..
Everyone knows to get the corn, but try the rice milk. Get it to go and walk around the hood.
One of my top 2 go-to spots for dinner in the East Village (the other being Casmir). I always go for: strip steak medium rare, béarnaise sauce, fries, escargot, cabernet. (ps: decent brunch too)

How do I know you’re passing off that H&M dress as couture? Because I was sipping an iced tea at this across-the-street café, watching you sneak out of the store.
By day, great sandwiches like chicken parm and the best turkey sandwich in town, by night a $50 four-course menu that changes every night, and will bowl you over by the chefs' skill and creativity En savoir plus .
