Great family style Italian restaurant. One dish feeds 2-3 people, so this is the place to go with a group. Not really a 2 person date place unless you both want to share the same dish. Delicious!

Every watch SEINFELD? This is their diner. I DO NOT recommend eating here as the food is not good, but it is a nice place for a drink (coffee, milkshake)... I would just look at it without going in.

Fantastic grocery store 1 block away. If you haven't been to a NYC grocery store, this one will show you how much can be put into a small store. That being said, they have everything you need.

While this museum is a little costly ($12) it has some wonderful artwork, and if you're interested in its current exhibit I would go. Make sure to also see the permanent collection, lots of Kandinsky
