Tough to snag a table but super easy to sit at the bar. I recommend: burrata bruschetta, stuffed meatballs, tagliolini. The pastas+apps are much bigger than you'd expect so no need to order entrees!
Small classes in this clean, cute studio, are extremely attentive to form. A lot of personal attention and a significantly slower pace than SLT or Brooklyn Bodyburn make for a chiller workout.
Perfect for those nights you want a cozy dinner with a friend, but don't want to spend over $25. Tacos, sandwiches, and soups are all great, and I love the seared tuna salad.
Beautiful space, beautiful servers, great juice and coffee w panini and pastry options. The wifi is free but must the music be so EDM-heavy and loud?
An oasis in the hellish South Times Square neighborhood - fantastic coffee, pastries + wine, too bad it's always jam-packed.
Take out of towners here to impress with small plates, great bar service, and a classic Carmellini-cool vibe. All the seafood is good - start with fried oyster sliders and go with a fish for a main.
Feels like a hotel lobby bar, with no hotel attached. Perfect people-watching for the Wburg cool kid crowd. Great coffee, cheap and delicious drinks, snacks, board games and dope music all day/night.
Get the #6 (speck, fontina and gruyere) and opt to add tomato and avocado. Pair with an iced coffee and eat at the tables outside--or a block East, on the waterfront on Kent Avenue.
Billed as the Indian Chipotle but it's more like the Indian Sweetgreen. Salmon is delicious, sauces rock, and the space is beautiful and welcoming - great lunch addition to the hood.
One part coffee shop, one part boutique, one part gallery and has a huge garden outside ideal for doing work or reading. The iced coffee is super strong and pastries are delicious, post up w a book.
A perfect casual lunch spot in SoHo with a spacious and chic back room for doing work/reading. Portions are hefty - I'm always tempted to get the 3 salad combo but fill up on 2.
This is my favorite yoga spot in NYC. Heated (but not Bikram-hot) vinyasa flows set to everything from Enya to Drake.
Amazing din for a group, the booth tables have Lazy Susans for even easier sharing. Get all the dumplings on the menu (do it), spring rolls, crispy garlic chicken & Mai tais on tap.
Happy hour runs 5-7 and includes $9 cocktails, $7 rosé and $1.25 oysters. Best place to feel super fancy but get away with a very decent tab.
