An NYC must for old-school style New York Jewish cuisine. Try a pastrami or corned beef sandwich with a bowl of Matzoh ball soup. The prices are high, but worth it, and it's a great NYC experience.

If you like ramen, this spot is a must. Super gourmet, a tiny spot and they don't take reservations so there's always a wait. Try an early or late time on an off-night.

After getting your coffee from Cafe Grumpy, come here to revolutionize everything you think you know about donuts. Seriously I've never had a better donut. They're amazing. Try the Coconut Cream.

Drinks & Nightlife

This secret spot is one of NYC's most low-key and charming speakeasies. Live swing jazz on Monday nights. You have to go through a gate and down into a tiny back alley to get there. Very hush-hush.

A great spot if you're a whiskey lover. They offer flights of whiskeys and the expert bartenders offer suggestions to expand your palate. If you like peaty scotch, as for "unchilfiltered" for a treat.

This nifty spot is a great place to pick up vintage glasses frames. The staff is super helpful once you prove you're a serious customer. But it's also a fun place to go just to try some on and browse!
