Waverly Inn – Classic, iconic American restaurant with timeless comfort dishes and a cozy ambiance for brunch or dinner.

I Sodi – Tuscan Italian gem known for authentic pasta and cozy atmosphere. Lemon pasta!

Bus Stop Cafe - Love the vibe in here for lunch, or favorite place for a Sunday breakfast. 

La Bonbonniere - dive breakfast perfect after a long night out 

West Village Coffee Shops

Hungry Llama – Relaxed coffee vibe perfect for working, lots of space. Great breakfast.
The Elk – Quaint coffee shop with bites, coffee, and little trinkets you didn't know you needed. 
Buvette – Charming French-style cafe and wine bar ideal for brunch or small plates.

11th Street Cafe - quick coffee stop with amazing gluten free blueberry scones. 

Midtown

Hatsuhana – Not a trendy vibe, almost feels like a hole in the wall, but it's well-known and loved sushi spot. 
Estiatorio Milos – Elegant Greek seafood and Mediterranean dishes with fresh fish. There is also a Hudson Yards location which has a gorgeous sunset view over the Hudson. 

Quality Bistro – Lively vibe with an especially spicy Caesar salad and "bread service".

​Liberty Bagels - home of the rainbow bagel but also lots of other great bagels

Favorite Workout Spots

BodyRok – Pilates reformer class that feels classic but is really hard. 
Fuze House – Sculpt style classes in a heated room.
