Good coffee but be prepared to wait for it. Good looking staff and in the lobby of the Ace Hotel which is worth a visit in itself
Fresh fish bar and restaurant where they list the sustainability of the fish on the menu. Supreme.
Achingly hip clothing store, an Urban Outfitters for those who’ve grown up a little and had their wallets fattened to match. Friendly staff and a good range of sundries as well as clothes.
Interesting homewares and conversation pieces to bring back from your travels.
For when you need a taste of the south in Manhattan, this place has it all. Beers, brisket and buckets of wings. The Brunswick stew is good, and they do a cute two course lunch deal.
Fisher took us to this douchey rooftop bar. Worth it for the view but be prepared to be gauged for the beers.
Go here for the pun, stay for the buns. (Bao is Chinese for “bun”). Chairman Bao is a good bet.
Dirtiest dumpling house you'll ever see, and not much room to sit but doesn't stop it from being popular with LES kids that are happy to eat good dumplings for under a fiver.
Pick up a piece for Vicky at this boutiquey jewellery store selling a range of unique custom made necklaces, bracelets, etc. at a price that won't break the bank.
