"Avoid the line: go right after it rains. SmokeShack burger is unfairly good."

"Go early on a Sunday night, get yourself on the list for the front room and get a drink at the bar while you wait. Seasonal new American dishes, reasonably priced for a 1-star spot, always delicious."

"Curry ramen is really good. If you're not a ramen snob you won't be able to distinguish this place from Ippudo or Totto."

"The only(?) 24-hour hardware store in NYC. And they have everything. No prices on the shelves though, so... I don't know what to tell you about that."

"Bluegrass jam sessions every Sunday night, 5 until late. Beginner's sessions Monday nights at 7. $5 Guinness."

"Come by during mass. Incense + organ + choir = ethereal gothic beauty."
