Essentials

Part restaurant, part beer garden, part osteria, part grocery store. Lidia Bastinanch's homage to Northern Italy. This place will blow your mind.

This is the closest full grocery store to the apartment. The set-up is a little confusing though.

Second closest grocery store to the apartment. It is larger and has a less confusing set-up than Zeytuna.

Food Scene

I know, it's a weird location in Murray Hill. And, yes, it's cash only and BYOB. But if you want authentic, amazing, and cheap (!) Mediterranean food, this is the way to go.

Another cash-only hole-in-the-wall? But trust me, in the hyper-competitive world of NYC restaurants, only the best can get away with the inconvenience. Order a steak sandwich and prepare to be amazed.

Amazing fish tacos and handmade guacamole here. For the Mexican food-starved New York City, this place is an oasis.

Do you love Italian food? Yes. Of course you do. This tiny cash-only no-reservations-accepted hole-in-the-wall will change your life. Order the gnocco frito, the caprese and DO NOT skip the tiramisu.

One of my favorite brunch places that is within walking distance of the apartment. Right on the water, near the park, great Bloody Marys and a decent brunch (served until 4pm on weekends).

There are a bunch of Starbucks in the area, but this is the only one with plush seating and floor-to-ceiling windows. They also have hot and cold food.

Drinks & Nightlife

I call this place "the intellectual's dive bar." Live jazz, chess, scrabble, pool, and beer. What more could you ask for?

Super fancy and fun cocktail lounge, and it is just 3 blocks away! The restaurant, Wall & Water, is also nice - but a bit overpriced. Just go for the cocktails and tapas.

Everything Else

One of my favorite parks. Never too crowded or too hot (it's right on the water). There is also a kid's gym 1 block away. Walk there on the weekend and grab brunch right on the water on the way.

If you are a Bikram yogi, you are always looking for the closest studio. This one on Fulton St. is 4 blocks away, clean, and never too crowded.

Shopping

Need a great bottle of wine for a night in? Head over to La Petite Cave and chat with the owner, he literally has an encyclopedic knowledge of wine, and you can get a great bottle for under $20.

For the rest of your life, it is unlikely that you will ever enter a drugstore this elaborate. Juice bar, nail and hair salon, bakery, they even freshly make all of the sushi before your eyes!
