Sliders, sliders, and more sliders! Try the bacon slider with some chili cheese fries. The space is small and awkward, but the ambiance can't be beat.
I hope you like beer. Choose light or dark and ask for "a round." Don't forget the pub-grub. It's simplicity in its finest and tastiest form.
Whiskey lovers unite! Check in here and show the bartender for a complimentary shot. Give the He'brew beer a try if you're feeling adventurous.
Need to get some work done while you're in New York? Check out this 8th floor co-working space for some quiet time to shoot off those emails.
A premier pizzeria by the NYU campus. Pepperoni rolls are exquisite. Drink re-fills are $.50
Need a pint in the NYU area? This basement bar has you covered. Good beer and food, but no 3G signal downstairs.
Open 24 hours with patios in the front and the back. Grolsch in the bottle and a chai that will make you spit out every other chai you try from here on out.
One of the best-kept secrets in the East Village. This quaint little wine bar has Brooklyn beer on tap, good music, and a fantastic atmosphere. Talk to the owner, Jason, if you get a chance.
You at least have to see it. Go with a lady-friend and encourage her to get up on the bar and dance!
Pizza and a cookie? Don't mind if I do. Try the Inca Kola out of the back cooler. You'll be glad you did.
Stop in for their amazing buffalo chicken mac & cheese. Burgers are big and cooked to order. Good for watching football.
Winner of Cupcake Wars for a reason. Best cupcakes in town. Also has coffee, espresso, and a sprinkles bar in case your chosen cake didn't come with enough. Good music and friendly staff.
Get a croissant right out of the oven and know true bliss. Good coffee, great pastries. Can't find those French cookies or crackers your roommate sent you from Paris? This place has you covered.
If you can find it, you'll be happy you did. European styling and service. Brunch is wonderful. Bacon is cooked to perfection. Try the stuffed French toast only if you want a new favorite.
Need a pashmina scarf or a trinket to send your grandmother? Chinatown is your answer. Walk around, don't be scared, politely say "no thanks" when asked if you want to buy a watch.
A small bar with a grunge feel. Friendly bartenders and cheap specials. Classic tunes in the jukebox.
Deceptively large space serving fantastic sushi. Good selection of Japanese beers in bottles.
A quaint little Irish bar with Guiness on tap. The bartenders pour it properly (which is hard to find). Live jam sessions play folksy Irish music on the weekends.
Drink specials are only at the bar, not while seated in the restaurant. Friendly staff and good drinks in a diner atmosphere.
An awesome hole-in-the-wall bar with a great Sunday bartender. A great selection and football on the weekends.
A great booze selection, albeit served by a snobby bartender. Check in here and show her for a free shot.
Gourmet and experimental pizza. Give the mac & cheese pizza a try if you want something different. The pizza "slices" are $4 each and are actually two slices apiece. Very good food.
On your way to Harlem to catch the M60 bus to La Guardia? Stop at this bagel shop for breakfast first. Not affiliated with the original (now closed) H&H bagels, these guys still serve a great product.
