Whenever you travel and want to make it into restaurants with unique food items, this place will fit the bill. Great spot for brunch, especially if you're looking for things other than typical eggs benedict or French toast. Most popular dish on their menu is Mac & cheese pancakes- I've deemed this to be the meal that will have to be my last meal on earth. Savory, sweet, crunchy cheese edges. The equally delicious topping situation happening on top of the pancakes is what made that to the next level. Don't forget to pair it with some fries. Heads up this meal is gigantic and shareable...plus it'll save some room for a desert.
Which by the way. Get a milkshake. You're welcome.

A taste from Italy ! If you want food that taste homemade this is the spot to come to. Its a nice little Italian gastropub from the owners of Vite Vinosteria. When you walk in to Vite you'll feel like you are in a village restaurant in Italy. Its a small but very cozy place and the staff and the owner are very friendly. Enjoy a glass of red wine with a board of prosciutto, cheese, sun dried tomatoes or have a pasta dish or pizza. Either way you wont be disappointed.

I'll be honest, i was skeptical about trying Indian food. the menu never appealed to me. Until my client who has an Indian background invited me to join her for dinner in one of her family restaurants .... I am so upset that it took me this long to find out how much i loved Indian food! This place is amazing! The food is delicious and well priced. What makes it even better is the service. Everyone is so friendly and attentive. There is nothing bad i can say about this place.
If you're looking for great, delicious, comfort Indian food, go to this place. You wont be disappointed!

The restaurant itself is like walking into Thailand; the waitresses are all extremely nice and greet you in Thai when you walk in.
Outstanding Thai street style food! Cheap eats with $9 bowl of beef boat noodles, $9 for panang curry on rice. Flavors are vibrant, unique and yet not too shocking. The boat noodles are a real treat - with light star anise and lemongrass flavor. Chunky tender meats. Curry was excellent w/o being overwhelming.
Get their papaya salad at $7 a pop. Done well with finely shredded papaya and not too acidic.
Low key vibe.

Hands down! Sugar freak is the best New Orleans themed restaurant in New York. All the staples - jambalaya, gator, Abita, po'boys, grits, you name it! They have a muffuletta which isn't quite the same as the NOLA version, but still delicious.
Also - you HAVE to try the fried banana pudding!

If you think Isamu Noguchi is one of the best sculptors of the 20th Century then a visit to his eponymous museum and garden in Astoria, Queens is a must. An old industrial site has been repurposed into the largest collection of Noguchi sculptures anywhere in the world. Especially impressive is the beautiful garden where visitors to the museum love to sit. There are two floors of galleries so different styles of his work are all represented. The Noguchi Museum is about a mile walk from the Broadway stop on the N Line or you can park on the street if you happen to be driving.
Tips: 1) There is an excellent film on Isamu Noguchi and his life and work shown in a corner gallery of the 2nd floor. You might want to begin there.
2) The Socrates Sculpture Park is one block away on the East River

You get to see some very progressive, contemporary art in a unique setting - a converted school building. There are four levels (three floors and the basement). The exhibits curated there are always changing; it doesn't have a permanent collection. MoMA PS1's programming also covers a wide range of media - from exhibition pieces to architecture to music to performance art.
Even if you aren't a fan of contemporary art, I would recommend at least visiting once to see what's up.
