Manhattan

good food in a really nice setting.

sceney, but also has good food. By one of NYC’s big time restaurant guys. Near some comedy or jazz places if you want to make a night of it.

Cool bar in Grand Central, but gets kind of filled with businessmen in the evening. Need a res.

Small place with good Japanese snacky things and cocktails. LES

I like this spot for brunch. East Village

I like this spot for sushi, though it doesn’t look like much. East Village

Just a bar I like in the West Village

I haven’t actually been here yet, but it’s own by Gio’s best friend’s parents and supposed to be good! Also West Village

Somehow the trendiest, most hipster restaurant for like the past 15 years.

Great Jewish deli, but long lines for weekend brunch. Sandwich shop / deli counter next-door might be a little less busy and worth the trip.

Really good Chinese place.

Wine bar where the art crowd hangs out. I don’t know why.

classic for burgers.

another burger classic.

the cheapest bar in midtown…maybe all of NY? Divey, not touristy

the name says it.

our favorite pizza place in our neighborhood, but there’s also one in the West Village

everyone’s fave spot for a drunk slice.

It’s not big at all! Not quite a dive, but not far off. And if you don’t like it, there are 10000 other bars nearby.

Coffee shop.

Good bagels!

over the top cookies.
