For Foodies Only
My legit and honest restaurant recommendations.
The sushi's rice is warm enough to melt your heart forever ♥️. Affordable, impeccable service, I'm just a fan of this place.
Plus: they don't take tips.
SUGARFISH by sushi nozawa
This is a legit Italian restaurant family owned and very traditional. Don't sleep on the bolognese. Life changing culinary experience, plus you might meet a celebrity.
Note: get there early cause the lines get wild.
Emilio's Ballato
If you can't afford tea at the Plaza or Baccarat, this is a GREAT option and the food is honestly as good as both above. Best vibes, there is always a table, no tourists. This is a little heaven in the middle of the SoHo chaos.
The Crosby Bar
If you feeling fancy and hip, this is a great option. Dress your best, cause you will want to 📸
Sake No Hana
Family owned Italian restaurant at the East Village. Great vibes, service is - let's say very Italian.
Lavagna
Listed as top 5 Carbonaras in NYC, this is definitely worth a shot if you are in the West Village.
OLIO E PIÙ
This restaurant is worth the buzz, I ate some of the best plates of food in my entire life there.
Plus: It was just featured at the TV show "The Bear"🐻
Daniel
Great Asian fusion at the charming Jean George's Tin Building. The food is great, vibes are the best and it's kinda of a locals only 💎 , so it's never super crowded.
Plus: recently featured on the show "...And just like that". Sex and the City seq...
House of the Red Pearl
This is a young and hip spot that I recommend if you are looking for the vibes.
Plus: don't sleep on the lemon cheesecake 🍋
Bad Roman
This place is fantastic for lunch, dinner or just a quick dessert ♥️ Plus: don't sleep on the gelato and princess cake.
Sant Ambroeus
Top 5 hot chocolates in NYC - although everyone praises the Montblanc.
Plus: excellent spot for an afternoon tea.
Angelina Paris Bryant Park
Best Vegan restaurant in NYC.
abcV
I love this place because it offers so many possibilities! And there is a Biergarten right attached to it, close to many stores, I always have a great time hanging out there.
The Standard Grill
I mean if you are in NYC for the food (like myself) and you feeling like splurging, why not take a (long) pause at Per Se. Staff if snobbish, but the food is perfect. And we all love to secretly hate Thomas Keller cause he always deliver, let's be ho...
Per Se
I'm a chef Masa stanner, so I totally recommend this spot for high quality sushi!
Bar Masa
Great vibes, close to charming Soho stores and - the absolute best lobster risotto in town. Alert: please get a reservation or you won't be able to eat ANYTIME.
Cipriani Downtown (New York City)
Cutest spot, chill vibes and good service. I wouldn't leave without trying 2 or 2 macarons for dessert. You can also find this spot in Paris and Cannes.
Ladurée New York - Soho
Super cute spot around the UWS! Alice in wonderland inspired and great for the gram!
Alice's Tea Cup
Fashion
I love Reformation, but this is my favorite store because the staff is helpful and chill, they have a pre-loved section and they are located in front of a street flea market that has the best fits.
Reformation
Disclaimer: the staff is really nasty, mean girls in retail vibes, but this store is amazing to find party, festival and special occasion looks without having to wonder if they will fit you properly or not.
Retrofête
One of the most traditional hat stores in NYC. You can find any hat from Borsalinos to trendy caps and they will kindly help you matching your facial shape. Great spot - also family owned, OG NYC vibes.
City Hats - 55East Houston St NY 10012
If you want original pieces that actually have a soul, this is the spot for you to runaway from the SoHo obvious spots.
Henrik Vibskov Boutique NYC
There is a special place in heaven for the staff at this store. They will treat you like a princess while you get your dream limited edition Hangsi shoes.
Manolo Blahnik
Ultimate it girl spot alert 👀 come get your Hailey Bieber inspired atleisure fit here ♥️
Alo
Happy Hour 🍻
Best cocktails in the city, some of their food is actually pretty good as well.
Plus: they have a psychic at the door and she is legit. 🔮
Employees Only
Another local gem and a perfect place to start your night or grab a drink after work. The staff, the decor and the vibes are 💯.
Plus: they screen vintage movies we love.
Subject: A Cocktail Bar
I'm 100% not a Brooklyn girl, but this place is a must visit. Drinks are great, hospitality is close to perfection. I dig big time 👀
Westlight
Culture
Great afternoon attraction and it's child friendly. Your inner child will be so happy at this place!
MUSEUM OF ICE CREAM
The most legendary art museum on earth ♥️
The Museum of Modern Art
As you can tell at this point I'm an experience addict. Spend the best afternoon with your family, friends or partner here since it's the funniest!
Color Factory NYC
Romantic date alerrrttttt! I absolutely love this spot! It's a great way to share fun moments with someone special 👀
Museum of Sex
I hate the general tourist experience, but this is the ONLY one that I love and recommend. It really gives you the "concrete jungle where dreams are made of" experience you need.
