1. Eight Mile Creek
Finally made it here for dinner. It was quite awesome actually. Much better than I had anticipated. I usually just come for drinks, but this time had time for dinner.
I had the kangaroo skewers, which were very good. Not sure what I can compare…More »

Came back after losing 40 lbs and cutting 14 inches off my hair (short crew cut now). Ravi… Read more »
2. Bianca Restaurant
CASH ONLY!!
Came here on the back of Yelp reviewers for some cheaper eats that tasted great. I wasn't let down.
Got a bottle of wine, some mussels (good amount, good fresh taste - sauce wasn't overbearing), the gnocchi (read that it was a must eat,…More »
3. Embassy Suites - CLOSED
Stayed for 2 more nights for the US Open, and I'm glad I did.
The hotel is in a nice part of town and really safe (Tribeca what!). The rooms are large, with both the bed and the sofa bed being very comfy and conducive to sleeping (first night I slept…More »

I agree with David H, it's 4.5.
The location is great - Tribeca. The rooms are quite massive - 2… Read more »
4. Central Park
Yes, I am reviewing this. Really! I know, it's 5 stars, and whoever disagrees should be burned at the stake, crucified, stoned, etc etc.
But I wanted to write this because CP just makes me enjoy the outdoors that much more. I ran for 50 minutes…More »
5. Great NY Noodle Town
Why do people rate this place based upon other more expensive establishments? If someone told you the name, "NY Noodle Town" do you think they'd expect to pay more than $10?
This place is about as amazing as any place for what it does. It is the Per…More »
6. BXL Belgian Cafe

Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhoods: Midtown West, Theater District
I checked Yelp out to see where to go, and I'm glad Yelp didn't disappoint again. This place is a local watering hole type in such a touristy area, which is a great thing. There wasn't a wide wide selection of beer, but enough to get through the…More »
7. Time Warner Center

Shopping Centers
Neighbourhoods: Hell's Kitchen, Midtown West
Love this place, would give it 5 stars if the shopping had more stores.
Why rate the Time Warner Center? Just because I think it's a great place. Aesthetically pleasing, it reminds me of the really nice shopping buildings in HK. There's a Times…More »
8. Sheep Meadow, Central Park
Manhattan, NY
(212) 310-6600
Category:
Parks
Neighbourhood: Upper East Side
The only bad part about Sheep Meadow is watching really bad frisbee people. Oh wait, it's hilarious.
Edit: it's like American Idol. The bad people are funny, but there are also legit people here, throwin like 40 yards on a line, doin 720 backflip…More »
9. Remedy Diner
I'm going to say - we came here only because Clinton St Bakery had an hour and 30 minute wait. Stupid lines.
The portions here are quite large (at least for the omelets). I got the fruit/granola/yogurt parfait. I've had much better, it was quite…More »
10. Bryant Park
New York, NY 10018
(212) 768-4242
Categories:
Parks,
Landmarks & Historical Buildings
Neighbourhood: Midtown West
Free wifi in a park? ELECTRIC OUTLETS TOO??? (They're near the Southwest pavilion thingy, next to the stone fence). Endless amounts of tables/seats, a subway stop, bathrooms, food...if this isn't heaven, then it must either be a wet winter or…More »
11. St. Patrick's Cathedral
I'm not religious at all, nor ever think about it. I went to Saturday mass with my coworker and his new wife, showing them around NYC as a tour guide.
The building is fantastic, the location is perfect, and their message during mass is awesome.…More »

Neighbourhoods: Midtown East, Murray Hill
Yelped for some help, and this place popped up. Although I do not agree with the $$ signs (should be $$$), I loved this place.
We were massively hungry, which meant that we had to order more. We got 2 apps (Achari Mushroom - was good, but not my…More »
