One of the best restaurants I've ever been to, ever, in any category. Italian in this case, but it's almost irrelevant. It's that good.

Drinks & Nightlife
1 Oak NYC
453 W 17th StNight club known as a celebrity haunt
Famous electronic music venue with great views of Manhattan. Known for its brunch parties as well. Definitely plan ahead by getting there early or making a reservation if you're with a group. Likelihood of getting in much higher than 1 Oak or Top of the Standard though.

Made famous in the 2009-2010 era by impromptu concerts by Kanye West and Lady Gaga. Somewhat less exclusive now, but plan ahead or come up with a great story for the door guy because...yeah it's hard to get into, still.

Posman Books
30 Rockefeller PlazaWhat a local book store is supposed to look and feel like
It's a crazy environment, and whether the moderately-low prices make it worth the headache in the age of Amazon is somewhat questionable. But, if you're in the area, or you need a book right away and don't want to pay much for it, this is worth visiting because of its iconic status.
