Restaurants 🍕🌭🌮
Great eats that I have stumbled on in the city that I would absolutely head back!
Amazing quality pizza with a great taste. A ton of options for meat lovers and the location has a very elevated vibe for a pizza shop!
Emmy Squared Pizza: Park Slope
A little on the pricier side, but OMG the soul food will leave your jaw on the floor! They also have live bands perform at the venue which is always a plus!
Red Rooster Harlem
I just checked this place out with my girlfriend to film content, and this is probably my new favorite spot in the city! The food was all well prepared and tasty, the staff is very friendly, and the overall atmosphere is so chill, I’d be remiss to no...
La Farine Pâtisserie et Café
Sylvia’s is a Harlem staple that my grandmother would often talk about but I’ve never been able to make my way until today! The soul food was made with love and ingredients used with intention. It isn’t super pricey, the drinks are strong and the foo...
Sylvia's Harlem Restaurant | Queen of Soul Food
I don’t know what else to say about this place other than WOW! It’s a local chicken spot with great flavor, and properly soulful. I recommend this place if you want great soul food without spending a ton of money! ENJOY! ☺️
Charles Pan-Fried Chicken
An Affordable Night Out! 🍷🕺🏿
These are places I seek out whenever I want to have a great night out with my friends or my girlfriend without pleading to the bank afterwords lol!
Super cool lowkey speakeasy style listening bar! I’ve only been one time but it has left a lasting impression and I will be back!
Ask For Janice
Verlaine is probably one of the best bars I have been to in the city. The vibes are always a good time, but get there quickly as it can fill up really fast. Added bonus, their lychee martini happy hour is super clutch for an affordable night out!
Verlaine
super nice bar with a lovely rooftop view and the mood lighting never gets old here. The drinks are made very well and the music is always booming out the walls!
Bella Union | Rooftop Bar
I really wanted to gatekeep this place, but honestly the vibes, the music, and the drinks are worth talking about! I highly recommend getting the self-named drink!
Midnight Blue
This place feels like the band got together in the basement and are drawing a crowd! The drinks are amazing and the live instruments can’t be beat!
Ornithology Jazz Club
Comic Shops and Record Stores 💥🎵
Looking for a good read? Maybe just something smooth and funky to listen to at home? I highly recommend these places and frequently visit them often to grab some of my favorite comic books or vinyl records!
Here is the hub to all my comic needs! I come here every week to see what's new in the comic world but also just to hang out! Have all your comic dreams fulfilled!
Forbidden Planet NYC - Comics, Graphic Novels, Toys and Pop Culture Collectibles - Forbidden Planet
I love this comic shop! It is a two man operation and super small but their comic collection always packs a punch!
Action City Comics
This is an honorable mention because it isn't in NYC, but memory lane comics was the highlight of my trip to Willmington, NC. Their collection was amazing and it was so huge that it requires two storefronts!
Memory Lane Comics
Great Coffee! ☕️
These are the coffee locations that I will always circle back to!
My daily routine starts off with this place! The coffee is amazing and it is a great space to catch up with friends or work on your Benable lists!
Partners Coffee — Cafe & Roastery
Super small shop with amazing coffee that got me through some grueling retail shifts in midtown!
Midtown East — 400 Madison Ave | Coffee Shop |Bluestone Lane
I am a huge fan of their chai lattes but the outdoor space is what will really keep you coming back!
COPPER MUG COFFEE
Easily some of the best coffee in the city. A little pricey but absolutely worth the trip! They also have a very nice seating area outside the shop.
Ground Support Cafe
Me and my gf were looking for a nice coffee spot close to my place and we stumbled on this gem! I highly recommend the chai latte (dirty)! Probably some of the best I’ve had :)
Manhattanville Coffee
