Nikki Bogopolskaya: Start with the bread n butter (3 flavors, great for sharing) + octopus, move onto meats for entrees. Ditch dessert + grab a drink at the lively upstairs bar after dinner.

Nikki Bogopolskaya: Get a juice at Butcher's Daughter to-go shop while you wait for a table. This place may be vegetarian but their breakfast "sausage" is amazing.

Nikki Bogopolskaya: The yoga classes offer one of the best views in the city, and some great vinyasa--although it is a bit more zen than cardio based. Oh, and there's a rooftop pool.
