In nice weather, these concert cruises can be some of the best evenings NYC has to offer. But eat before you leave, as the food on the boat is overpriced and not so great.
Stop by to get a Ronnybrook Dairy coffee milk or some cinnamon toast butter (only on Wednesdays or Saturdays). Also good: hot pickles from Rick's Picks.
Go to happy hour at Brookly Brewery early to get a table, then order pizza and play cards with your friends enjoying Brooklyn's finest brews.
Not just for commuters…tourists should take a ride not only for the fantastic views, but to go take a stroll around Roosevelt Island. A ride costs $2.25 each way.
Bring a friend and get two flavors. But you'll probably want a lot less than you think you will, so be careful not to over-order.
Apart from having top-notch fried chicken, the insane burger here is actually my favorite burger in NYC. And all of the sides are great. Cash only!
Often super crowded, so if you're set on having a peaceful sit-down meal with a group, might not be the best choice. But the mac n cheese is just great.
One of the few decent physical game stores in NYC. The staff can be curmudgeonly, but don't let that deter you. Lots of tabletop gaming events here, too.
The house vodka is pretty good, and all the cocktails come in pint glasses for around $8. Plenty of tables in back, good for after work groups.
I love everything on the menu here. I've never been disappointed by anything I've ordered, but the breakfast bowls are a real treat.
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)
Get a cut from Ruthie! She's talented, creative, friendly, and an absolute pleasure to be around.
Students, locals and celebs all love this classic Ukrainian spot. Some of the city's best banana pancakes, kasha with gravy, matzo ball soup, pierogis and a great cheeseburger. [Eater 38 Member] Daha fazlasını oku.
I love the spicy pork meatballs, and the whiskey float is positively to die for.
I love the coffee milk here, and all the pies are great, especially the crack pie. I always take home a couple of compost cookies, too.
Try to go early in the evening, because it can get super crowded here. But it's a great place to eat before a show at Knitting Factory.
It's hard to go wrong with $8 pitchers, tons of cheap small plates, and make-your-own cotton candy for dessert.
This place is expensive, but it's my absolute favorite fancy cocktail bar in the city. Everything is great. Everything.
Show up even earlier than they recommend or get stuck in the back. Trying to get tickets? Bookmark the page and check daily - they appear and vanish within an hour.
You absolutely must try the Nashville-style hot chicken here. The "hot" variety was plenty for me, but "extra hot" is available too if you're daring.
Pizzas are nicely singed. Also good: arugula with bresaola, pickled pig’s tongue, mackerel with lemon jelly, wood-roasted chicken, wood-roasted Berkshire pork chop. Daha fazlasını oku.
If it's your first time here. Get the Salty Pimp. Vanilla ice cream / caramel & sea salt dipped in chocolate. This should introduce you to how a mix of Sweet & Salty go well together. Awesome Flavors!
Go to the BGICT and get some sort of crazy topping - olive oil and salt, sriracha, dulce de leche and nilla wafers, or the popular Choinkwich - bacon ice cream sandwich!
Tucked on the second floor of this Japanese bookstore is a counter selling perfect afternoon snacks. Food & Wine editor Dana Cowin loves the umebashi plum rice balls, she told us in her NY Diet. Daha fazlasını oku.
When we're in the mood for the best German food in the whole city, we head just a few blocks over to the Heidelberg for brats, potato pancakes, pork shank, boots of lager, and to say hi to Dieter!
