Some of my favorites in the neighborhood! All within walking distance
So many coffee spots nearby that you can’t go wrong. Black Brick happens to be my favorite and go to. Highly recommend the tahini chocolate chip cookie — delightfully chewy!

One of my favorite Italian places in the city. Get as many pastas as possible! Plan to try and get a reservation early! This is one of the hottest restaurants in all of NYC!
