WHERE TO EAT

• 7th Street Burger - I’m a smashburger type of girl and when I had this one for the first time, I was dancing through the entire more because it was delicious. Go all out and get the cheese fries with the toppings.

• Antons - One of our new favorites! Only been there once but it was really good cozy vibes and the food was incredible. I don’t even remember what we ordered but everything we got was good.

• Dim Sum Palace - We tried this dim sum restaurant recently and thought it was really good! It’s your typical dim sum restaurant, big, filled with round tables but it’s some of the best dim sum we’ve had. If you want a “cuter” dim sum experience, we also really love Tim Ho Wan!

• Don Angie - We have only been once because it’s so tough getting a reservation, but I remember this place was so good. If you can snag a resy, def try it!

• Lure Fishbar - Love this spot because it has something for everyone. From sandwiches to salads to sushi! It’s kind of like a bougie Hillstone. If you can snag seats at the bar, I love eating there. You MUST get the shrimp tempura appetizer and I order a hellfire roll as my main.

• Nowon - One of the best burgers we’ve ever had. Im usually not a “fusion” type girl. Don’t let the kimchi throw you off, this burger is INSANE.

• Pastis - Great for brunch or dinner. Our favorie is going there for brunch and sitting outside. Get the French onion soup, country pate, escargot, hanger steak or eggs benedict.

• Prince Street Pizza - If you’re visiting and need a pizza fix, grab a slice here. The line is usually really long but the grandma slice with the liquid gold pepperoni cups are *chefs kiss*. Don’t ask for ranch anywhere in NYC, as a ranch-lover myself, I’ve learned the hard way lol.

• Chez Ma Tante - love this cozy restaurant! I got the pork chop once and it was soooo good. People also love their pancakes during brunch.

• Fini Pizza - A little different from L’industrie. The sauce is more garlicky and flavorful which I love. The white slice here is really good and I love the Sicilian slice there. Jacques loves the pepperoni slice.

We love going there for a drink during the day, they have a patio with outdoor seating that feels like you’re sitting at a café in Paris people-watching. At night, they have fun music and it’s a vibe! It’s the perfect bar for when you don’t want a club/crowded bar scene and more of a chill but still cool/vibey fun place for drinks with friends.

• Dante - People go nuts over this place, and I agree, it’s so cute but I feel like the drinks are OK. The wait for a table is always super long so we never go, but if you can get a reservation, try it out! It’s very IG worthy especially if you’re visiting NYC.

• Fouquets - A little sleepy and proper, but the bar is beautiful and sophisticated. Good for a chill nightcap. It’s hidden behind the bookshelf in the lobby.

• Le Dive - Another bar we love for day drinks. Feelsl like you’re in Paris! Love sitting outside with a glass of wine here.

• Mother’s Ruin - A fun casual bar to grab drinks during the day! If you can score a table inside in the window, it’s the best spot!

• Ralph’s Cafe - They have one in Flatiron or 5th Ave. The Flatiron location is smaller and more of a grab and go, whereas 5th ave has a cute little area to eat inside. There’s a table outside on the stairs that’s cute for and IG content!

• Rin Tin Tin - It’s right next door to Mother’s Ruin. Love this cute place for cocktails during the day!
