Blue Bottle — good for a black coffee and the iced Nola
Le French Diner — rumoured to be the best french in the city and honestly, I agree. Cosy spot with phenomenal food
Thai Diner — fun craveable Thai food
Mama Toos — sure, we had the award-winning @Unas but this is the slice you crave on the way home. Chewy, crispy, and the hot honey one I meannnn
Cha-An Teahouse — authentic matcha and handmade ichigo daifuku mochi
Popup Bagel — out of all the bagel places, these guys did the best classics ie everything bagel & plain cream cheese
Overstory — intimate bar on the 64th floor with incredible cocktails and sunset views
Casetta — for afternoon cheese and wine
Walk the West Side Highway
Dumbo and Pebble beach in Brooklyn
Estela — the endive salad was incredible, but their steak was served with *hollandaise* sauce which was heartbreaking. The chilled red tasted flat and their chocolate cake turned out to be a brownie. Why catfish a girl like that
Lodi — strike two for the Mattos hospitality group in my book. It's such a shame because their socials are so engaging
Leons Bagels — what’s going on here? This was the saddest everything bagel, it had barely any seeds, and it came with an absurd amount of egg. So disappointing
