Patrick's favorite restaurant. We recommend just asking the waiter to pick a bottle of wine for you.
A favorite of Christy's for brunch.
We recommend going here as your first stop of a night out. Go right when they open and you're guaranteed to get in.
GO EARLY. The cinnamon rolls are worth it.
Get the cannolis.
Some of the best pork buns and scallion pancakes we've had and incredibly cheap. (Credit card minimum is $10 and it's hard to get over that amount unless you want a lot of food.)
Get the chocolate hazelnut cookie!
They have several locations, but the one in the Lower Eastside is a great pit stop after Paradise Lost.
Oldest bar in NYC!
Also check out their attached bakery!
They have a few locations around Manhattan, and are great for quick tacos and margaritas.
For anyone wanting authentic tasting dim sum, but you don't eat meat. It's absolutely incredible.

Make sure to go to their map room to see some original full size Audubon prints.
They have several locations and are great when you need a quick and quality NYC slice.
Literally any spice or tea you can imagine, they have it.
Get the cauliflower wings!
It's a dive bar, do not expect any frills.

Take the tram across the river for great city views and a good wander around the island.
These are some of the best noodles in the city and worth the trip over the Roosevelt Island.
