Food Scene

Amazing homemade pastas and super affordable (entrees $10 - $15, bottles of wine $25 - $45). The only catch is that it is *cash only* and be prepared for a hefty wait unless you go early/late.

Definitely stop by - at least for coffee - during your stay. It's really the only affordable option in Central Park, although we actually prefer grabbing a coffee and sitting on the Sheep Meadow.

Good coffee, but somewhat expensive at $3 for a large. Birdbath Cafe next door is a little cheaper as is the Mud Coffee window across the street at Cotta.

Favorite pizza downtown. You'll probably have to wait, but the service is incredibly fast once you're in!

Great dinner spot. You'll probably have to wait, but there is a great German beer bar around the corner called Weschler's (on 1st Ave. btw. 7th and 8th).

Average food, average drink list, but amazing location and good, low key vibe. Much more laid back than the Frying Pan in Chelsea.

5 minute walk from the apartment - take our park blanket and park bag and stock the latter with a bottle of wine and some snacks. (Just be discrete with the vino.)
