Just across the street from one of the three Momofuku establishments is Momofuku milk bar. My fave are their compost cookies or cornflake cookies! And their frozen yogurt flavor is cereal milk!

Drinks & Nightlife

When it first opened, I was big on FourSquare and became major. Enough said. If I don't get to meet you, I may leave a token or two for a free drink at happy hour. If I do, first drink on me!

A Japanese whiskey bar that also serves awesome cocktails and each one is precise in the making. It's a bit hidden. You have to go up the stairs and through a restaurant but well worth it!

Between this place and Ninth Ward, I'm never out of a bar to start at. Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen used to frequent this bar in their NYU days. It's a dive bar but NYC does so well with dive bars.

Everything Else

Not in the neighborhood but not too far away, a block or so off broadway (shopping) and you can sit in the back patio and enjoy some coffee. It's also a surf shop, so you get a little surf in NYC
