John's of Bleecker St.
Our favorite NY Slice!

Thai Diner
INCREDIBLE restaurant with a modern take on Thai classics. Emily and Garrett love the entire menu, but the Palo Dumplings and Lobster Omelette Chu Chee are a MUST
Attaboy
Emily and Garrett love speakeasies and this is easily one of our favorites! Get there when it opens as it gets busy quickly.
Golden Diner
The BEST pancakes in the city! Pro tip: Get there about 20 minutes before they open to ensure you get right in!
Economy Candy
Emily's childhood spot for vintage candy! One time, she got a giant gummy bear that stained her mouth red for a whole weekend.
S&P Lunch
The best classic Jewish diner!
Gray’s Papaya
Can't go to NYC and not get a hot dog! This one is Emily's favorite, but any hot dog cart will do!
Murray's Cheese
THE best shop for incredible cheeses that Ba sourced all his cheeses for christmas. Emily loves their Aged Gouda, and Garrett loves a Stilton. Grab some cheese and wine and have yourself a picnic in the park
