Food Scene

High end, more on the expensive side, but very very good locally owned farm to table type, gourmet American food. If you have the budget and want a nice dinner in this neighborhood, recommend Hearth.

Hands down my favorite bottomless brunch spot in all of NYC. They have the best Bloody Marry's I think on this planet and they serve that for their bottomless brunch option on the weekends. It is a must see if you love brunch and day drinking.

If you're into the super gourmet small pie's pizza thing, this is one of my favs in the city. It's a very hip scene and they serve wine -- the pizzas are individual size and super gourmet style.

My favorite rooftop bar. Amazing 360 views of the city while you drink fancy cocktails. There's a lot of bars and restaurants at the Public Hotel so just make sure to ask for the rooftop.
