A super long wait (sometimes 2 hours, go at odd hours or early for better chances) but if you make it in, so worth it. Steaks, loads of veggies, and super committed chefs make this a favorite.

It can be crowded but the new Whitney is an building that deserve to be a museum itself. I'd try early mornings to avoid crowds & buy your tickets before midnight the night before you intend to go!

Drinks & Nightlife

This is a great bar for discovering new music, meeting incredibly cool creative people, and just plain drinking. Ask your bartender what a "Man Down" is, and you just might get one.
