Bubby's

Bubby's Brunch - can't go wrong here and it's in TriBeCa which is a super cute neighborhood by the water in NYC.

Balthazar

The iconic Balthazar is right in SoHo, so it's the perfect lunch break during a day of downtown shopping.

Saint Theo's

If you go for brunch, you have to try the Ricotta Pasta, aka "adult mac n cheese". Sooo good - and it's right in West Village so before or after brunch you can shop around the cutest neighborhood of NYC (in my opinion hehe)

L'Artusi

PASTA PASTA GALORE

Bernie’s

Bernie's doesn't take reseravtions so you have to go early and put your name in. You should be able to get in though, and will you wait - you can shop around Williamsburg or Greenpoint, or relax in McCarren Park. Bernie's is famous for their pizza and mizz sticks

Lamonte

This little bar in Williamsburg is one of my favorite places to stop for a snack and a cocktail. It's right in the heart of Williamsburg where there's a ton of restaurants and shopping. Lamonte works for anything from before-dinner cocktails to a 2am night-cap

MIDNIGHTS

Midnights is another one of my favorite spots for a cocktail. This chic but cozy bar also has a downstairs where you can dance late-night

12 Chairs Café

INCREDIBLE Middle Eastern food in a very cute neighborhood right by the water in Williamsburg. Before or after your meal, head over to Domino Park for my favorite view of the Manhattan Skyline

Bar Primi Bowery

Some of my favorite pasta in the city. This restaurant has such a cute and cozy vibe with incredible italian food and cocktails

Via Carota

This one is hard to get a reservation at - but I figured I'd include it because it's iconic and you just might run into an A-lister like Taylor Swift here

Lil' Frankie's

I lived in the East Village for a few years and this was an absolute staple. Their pizza is *chef's kiss*

Joe's Pizza

This one goes without saying.... you gotta stop here for a slice

Prince Street Pizza

Iconic pizza shop with big thick square slices and also your classic triangle slices. The walls are lined with photos of celebs who have stopped in to try this NYC staple

The Butcher's Daughter

Call me basic for this one - I don't care. I love this spot for breakfast. There's really never a wait here and you can usually get a table right away either inside or outside

Russ & Daughters Cafe

For breakfast and bagels on the Lower East Side, I highly recommend Russ & Daughters

Sadelle's New York

The ultimate breakfast spot in NYC - incredible bagels with lox, different types odf cream cheese, and a cozy little vibe

Nom Wah Tea Parlor

Right in the heart of Chinatown on a cute little winding street - this chinese food and tea parlor has garnered a big reputation throughout the city

Birds of a Feather

Right in the heart of Williamsburg, this modern chinese food restaurant has something for everyone. From super spicy chicken to delicious noodles and cocktails - you really can't go wrong here

Levain Bakery

HUGE chocolate chip cookies that you absolutely have to try

Magnolia Bakery

Iconic bakery in the west village - it's been in so many tv shows and movies - you gotta check it out

Grand Banks

This is a literal boat docked on the river serving oysters and cocktail - sooo much fun on a nice day

LOS TACOS No.1

cute little taco stand - great for lunch in between shopping at Chelsea Market and the Meatpacking District

7th Street Burger Nomad

Incredible burgers INCLUDING a delicious impossible burger that is my go-to when I'm craving meat
