The pretzels are damn ginormous. If the place looks packed & you can't find a seat, try the lower tables by the back wall and ping pong tables. En savoir plus .
Great view of the Empire State Building! Closes too early though. En savoir plus .
Discreet little hotel. I have stayed here many times & found gd deals. Love it! Bumped into William H. Macy & Felicity Huffman heading out for day. Nice enough for stars who don't want to be hassled.
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)
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.
Walk the whole thing (sunset = best). If its night time, look for the exhibitionists Doing Their Thing in the windows of the Standard Hotel. Sit in sunken mini-theater (you'll know it when you see it)
Kind of an under-the-radar pick, but the burger here is one of the best I've had in NYC. Also, if you don't order the Scotch Egg I'm going to come down and punch you in the face. It's delicious.
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.
Everyone knows to get the corn, but try the rice milk. Get it to go and walk around the hood.

that one day you're feeling especially fat, come here and get your choice of burger and/or philly cheesesteak and/or hot dog (and is better)
Order a Bistro Burger & a McSorley's Ale. To avoid the massive queue, go during the day. Or find a seat at the bar. Say hi to Tommy White behind the bar.
