H&H Midtown Bagels - Nyame’s (unbiased) opinion is that H&H is the best bagel spot in the city. Get her order: blueberry bagel, toasted, schmear of plain cream cheese.
Taverna Kyclades - Greek food is Nyame’s favorite cuisine. Better yet, Kyclades has been personally approved by her Greek friends.
Colonie - if you’re friends with Nyame, odds are she’s taken you to Colonie in Brooklyn. Get the sticky date pudding - it will change your life.
Midnight Express Diner - Late night diner serving all the classics. Fun fact - it’s across the street from Nyame’s first studio apartment in the UES!
Xi’an Famous Foods - Get the N4 and the B1.
Starbucks Cafe - hole-in-the-wall Seattle-based coffeeshop. Mike’s favorite is their Cold Brew™, a new take on the classic iced coffee.
Buddy’s Burrito and Taco Bar - Mike loves burritos.
Tim Ho Wan - stop by for delicious, affordable dim sum. Our favorites are the baked BBQ pork buns and the steamed rice.
L’Artusi - one of our favorite Italian spots for date night. Get the tagliatelle and split a bottle of red!
Gaonnuri - pricier Korean restaurant on the 39th floor of a Herald Square building. Great views!

Dear Irving on Hudson - really amazing views of NYC and within walking distance from our venue. Get Nyame’s favorite cocktail: whiskey business.
Bar Tabac - French bar on Smith St. Great rosé and sometimes live music on the weekends.
Black Forest Brooklyn - it’s worth the trek from Manhattan! This is Mike’s go-to for after-work drinks and hangin’ with the boys.
Bar Great Harry - Low key pub where a fella can get a drink.
Beer Culture - no frills bar serving a variety of draft beers and ciders. Every time we’re near Times Square we pop in for a cold one. Bonus - it’s super close to our venue :)

Tenement Museum - One of Nyame’s favorite museums in the city. Step inside a tenement building and learn about NYC’s immigrant population.
The Gug - Nyame’s endearing name for one of her favorite museums, The Guggenheim, on Museum Mile. Check out the amazing architecture (thanks Frank Lloyd Wright) and then take a stroll through Central Park.
Transit Museum - See the history of the New York City subway! Walk through different subway cars from decades past!
Green-Wood Cemetery- New York’s first big green space. Memento mori!

Hudson River Park - go for a riverside run, stroll or rent a CitiBike and bike down the side of Manhattan that’s overlooking God’s country (i.e. New Jersey)
