I LOVE Grey Dog! This is always my go to spot (usually for breakfast) for great affordable food. It's pretty informal and more like a cafe with an impressive menu.

The Corner Bistro for years was famous for having the Best Burger in New York by Zagat (now it's in the Burgr Joint in Le Parker Meredien). This is still a fantastic place to grab a burger and beer (or other food) that's inexpensive. Plus it's open late.

This is a great, affordable southern food restaurant. I've only been here for brunch which is definitely hearty and delicious. There are always a lot of families here and it has outdoor seating (when warm). If this location is too busy, there's another location in Tribeca.

This is one of my go-to places to take fam and friends coming to visit. It's a ramen restaurant that usually has a long wait (get there early). Their pork buns are one of the best in the city! You can't take anything home with you so make sure that you bring an appetite!

This is known as one of the best soup dumpling restaurants in NYC. There's always a long wait and it might be cash only (you might want to double check though). This is a hidden gem off the beaten path in Chinatown.

Drinks & Nightlife

This is my favorite rooftop in the NYC year round w/a view of the empire state building (there is a retractable roof). Amazing cocktails and it has a DJ on weekend nights. Just a heads up that the rooftop gets booked a lot for private parties in the summer time so I'd call ahead and ask if it's available.

This is an amazing classy speakeasy in the West Village. There's no sign only a psychic sign in the window. The food and drink are amazing and it's decorated in art deco-1920's era. I highly recommend getting here early or making reservations.
