Chelsea

Num Pang Sandwich Shop

Technically fast food, but worth it. Especially if you are on the go and need something quick, but delish.
Order: A Sandwich (our order – PULLED DUROC PORK)

Williamsburg

Press Modern Massage

My absolute favorite spot to book a massage. Paul gifted me a massage to here years ago and after that I was hooked. I personally like extreme pressure and if I’m not squirming or screaming it doesn’t seem worth it to me. I have been going to Jali for 5 years now, he is incredible. If you go, make sure to indulge in the 90 mins (it’s worth the extra money) and book with Jali. While I like muscle melting deep pressure, he is an expert as assessing and altering based on your needs or preference.

West Village

Bleeker Street Pizza

Best specialty slices in Manhattan. Nonna Maria and White slice are a must try.

SoHo

Brazil Bronze SoHo

If you are looking for a bronze pick me up, this is it. Whenever I am feeling bleh and need a touch of color, I instantly book an appointment here — I leave feeling like a million bucks and look like I just went on a tropical vacation!

LES

Clinton Street Baking Company

Best pancakes. Hard to get in, but if you arrive first thing in the morning you have a chance of getting seated right away.

West Village

Corner Bistro

Old pub in the West Village with a charming bar, dishing out affordable burgers. Cash Only.

West Village

Emily

Emily is located on a cute corner in the West Village. The entire menu is delicious, but we go for the Detroit Style Pizza and the Burger. HUGE fans of everything there.
Order: MVP with Pepperoni (our newest fave), The Colony, Wings, Burger (but split it).

East Village

Empellon Al Pastor

Small taco spot in ABC aka Alphabet City is a must go if you are in the area. Solid tacos and chill environment.

West Village

Faicco’s

Our favorite deli in the city. Not sure why it isn’t on the map with all of the popular food site, but it’s a secret gem that never disappoints. If it’s a nice day for a little picnic, grab your sandwich to go (only option) and walk over to the Hudson or Washington Square park to enjoy.
K Order: The Italian
P Order: The American

Fort Tryon Park

Most people in New York haven’t ventured up to Inwood/Washington Heights to check out Fort Tryon Park. It’s a gorgeous and quiet park with views of the Hudson River. Stop by the Cloisters museum and then grab a drink at the Trie Cafe before wandering the park and taking in the views.
Take the A all the way up to 190th and its a 10 minute walk from the subway through the park to the Cloisters.

West Village

K&F Nails

Go-to nail spot when downtown. I find them to be the best around. Suki perfectly shapes and colors my nails every time. They also have a great selection of Shellac colors.

LES

Katz Delicatessen

Famous jewish deli worth the try.

Chelsea

Los Tacos No.1

Authentic Mexican Street Tacos. Originally located in the heart of Chelsea Market, but recently have expanded all over Manhattan (Grand Central, Times Square, NoHo, TriBeca).
K Order: Al Pastor and Carnitas
P Order: Quesadilla with meat and a Grapefruit Jarritos.

SoHo

Lure Fishbar

Located in the heart of SoHo, this underground restaurant feels like you are walking aboard a luxury yacht. We ordered sushi and oysters for a late afternoon snack and both were incredible. Highly recommend if you are looking to curb your fish craving.
Order: Oysters, Crispy Tuna

Grand Central Terminal

The mecca of the underground. Never not amazing by Grand Central. Be sure to check out the Whispering Corners downstairs.

West Village

Rosemary’s

A cute neighborhood Italian spot that serves fresh produce from its rooftop garden and upstate farm. Beautiful decor, a plus.

LES

Scarrs Pizza

Off the beaten path, but worth the trip down to LES. Solid Pizza on an old school NYC street.
Order: Hotboi (Pepperoni topped with jalapenos and hot honey) & a Sicilian slice.

West Village

Wander the village after brunch or before dinner. Pop into the cute little boutiques and admire the beautiful brownstones.
