Avoid the crowds by coming in late afternoon on a weekend. Make sure to order the fried rabbit.
Your inaugural Shake Shack experience HAS to be the Madison Square Park one. (Waiting in line is part of the experience.)

Perfect date spot and great happy hour sun-thurs with delicious $9 cocktails and $5 wine. Night Flight with dark rum was fantastic.

This is the best falafel sandwich in America. Try all of the balls.
This classic eatery hasn't been around for 100 years for no reason - the smoked fish, latkes, and friendly waitstaff are legendary. But beware - you'll never settle for subpar lox ever again!
Amazing instructors, fantastic boot camp classes. You will get an ass kicking here, without fail (in the best way possible).

The ice cream flavors here range from classic (vanilla, chocolate) to Asian-inspired (red bean, black sesame and lychee).
