Their collection of rare and unique cookbooks far surpasses anyone else in the city. Look around to get some inspiration
It turns out the Lower East Side doesn’t hold dominion over tapas hot spots in New York City. East Harlemites can enjoy a few tasty nibbles and some fine drinks in the comfort of your own nabe.
Quaint little Moroccan Restaurant with great Hookah bar. Ask for a pot of never-ending mint tea and take a journey to Northern Africa for a little while.
A more modern and sophisticated version of the Tea Lounge (Park Slope) with coffee, wine, beer and limited cocktails. Also food and Tripel Karmeliet (a rare east coast find)!!
Are you hungry and on a budget? Then visit this cool looking Thai joint, bring a bottle of your favorite discount wine and dive into a serving of Kea Moa and Chive Pan Cake.
Margherita pizza. You may die from how good it is. The panuozzi are also delicious. It's the sauce, the dough, the oven...
Order a chocolate egg cream soda - the best in the city. This iconic institution has the oldest soda jerk in NYC. Oh, the chocolate malt shake is another must try.
It's dark, seductive, romantic, and a gem of a speakeasy. If you're lucky you can snag a seat on a couch.
The line is worth the wait for manhattan's best bagel... I live across from ess a bagel and choose to make a 59 block trek for these bagels! A fam fave and sometimes they throw in a free b/w cookie!
Small, lovely brunch spot in the UES. The french toast with berry compote and fresh cream melts in your mouth.
A great place for a lazy Sunday brunch – go for the Omelette d’Alsace or the Frittata Provencal, or maybe the Apple Pancake or the Tarte Flambee – everything is delicious.

A pleasant bakery that sells Belgian Merveilleux, light pastries made from meringue and whipped cream.
Beautiful gastro pub with delicious food, great beers, and excellent service. Jason the bartender is super nice!
How did I not learn of this place sooner?! Unreal prices for sushi and portions are plentiful. Sit at the bar!
Excellent beer selection, no credit card minimum, and a very helpful/friendly staff. They are also always having sales. What more could you ask for in a beer store?
I love Vinyl. Prices are great, staff is knowledgable and they have free delivery (!!!)
One of the coziest restaurants in NYC. Romantic & quiet atmosphere, delicious Italian food, extensive wine offerings. Outdoor patio in back, summer seating in the front - One of my fav restaurants!
Jones Wood Foundry recreates the wood-paneled pubs of olde with a sleek blend of pomp and panache. Go for an old-school serving of cottage pie or a beer-battered haddock with irresistible tartar.
Awesome vibe with great beer and an open air layout and 2 floors. Diggin it fo sho.
Deserves to be on any 'best bars in Manhattan' list. Too notch beer selection, even better bourbon selection.
