1. Mercat
My experience with Mercat is what hipsters call "amazeballs".
I hope I'm not dishonouring the restaurant by calling it that but it's still a meal that I'm remembering days after I've left the city. It was divine, it was delish, it was amazeballs!…More »

Neighbourhood: Lower East Side
I've read that Ten Bells is hard to find but luckily, I had a local who guided us there. We made it in good time because we were able to snag two seats at the bar before a wave of new patrons strolled in and occupied the space for a while.

I'M A POLAROID LOVER 4 LIFE!
I was very happy when I heard the Netherland-based company, the Impossible Project, started to remanufacture Polaroid film and thus, saved it from extinction.
Since then, the team has opened up a few stores around the…More »

I was actually looking for another bar but decided to stop here instead. The dark wood and art appealed to me including the quiet atmosphere.

Burgers

We didn't spend too much time here. Our group of eight had to rush to get to our venue on time but we needed food first. It was 11pm and our original destination stopped serving food, so we decided to come here instead.
All of the burgers are huge.…More »

My hotel was located right next door. So when I decided to turn right one day instead of left, I discovered this place.

13. Tompkins Square Park
I had time to kill before my flight home so I decided to hang out in Alphabet City a little longer. After walking around, TSP was my pit spot for a while.
I walked in and around the park: I watched the dogs play in the Big Dog Run; I walked past the…More »
14. Pies 'N' Thighs
Brooklyn, NY 11211
USA
(347) 529-6090
I love the name. Who wouldn't? It's a charming little eatery that was nice and quiet on a Friday morning. I can only imagine how busy it is on the weekend; no doubt it must be very popular.
The unfortunate thing is I wasn't able to try their famous…More »

If I had to redo the experience, I wouldn't bother coming here.
