This is my top spot for brunch if you like Mediterranean/Israeli! Absolutely delicious food and always buzzing. If there’s a line it usually goes by quickly!

On the weekends this street shuts down and only available for pedestrians :). You will hear music, see kids playing and it’s really vibrant and fun. Friday and Saturday nights feel alive on Vanderbilt!

This is a 4 minute walk from my house and next to the subway :)! Beautiful exhibitions that are permanent and rotate. Great bar / restaurant inside. Usually hosts a “first Saturday’s” party that’s worth checking out if you want to mingle and see art!
