The best lobster roll in NYC. Amazing. Located in a fun part of the neighborhood, and a short walk from the apartment. Doesn't take reservations. Alternatively, you could try Pearl Oyster Bar.

Excellent British gastropub. In my opinion, they have the best burger in NYC (but beware, it contains Roquefort cheese, which you'll either love or hate). Doesn't take reservations.

Thai food prepared by a finalist/winner on Top Chef. Much higher quality than your stereotypical Thai restaurant, but higher prices as well. The duck is amazing.

In my opinion, this is the quintessential New York City "slice". If you want an authentic NYC pizza slice, go here, and get a plain cheese slice. This place was also in the movie "Spiderman."

My favorite ice cream in the city. Many will disagree with me, obviously. They serve up Argentinian gelato. Get the corn ice cream with cinnamon on top. It sounds weird, but trust me.

Wonderful British gastropub right underneath the apartment! I rarely go because it feels like staying home :-). A great place if you're at home and don't have time to go far. Great gin cocktails.
