nyc restaurant + thrifting reccs for first timers

Not a native New Yorker but have lived here since 2011. I’m an actor + antique lover. Here are my top reccs for newcomers (restaurants + thrifting only) lmk if you want more! 🍔Restaurants with unique atmosphere + great food: 1. Freeman’s Alley - lower east side. Unmatched vibes. hidden at the end of an alley. Amazing roasted Brussels sprouts. great cocktails and wine selection. Dark and moody and cozy. 2. Tea & Sympathy - west village authentic spot for British high tea and pub fare. as tiny as a matchbox. Ridiculously charming. The staff are lovely. There’s a british import store next door. 3. Buvette - west village worth the hype. Incredible spot for brunch (or anytime meal). Unbelievably cute. 4. Lucali - Carroll gardens, Brooklyn possibly the best pizza in the city. Beyonce and Taylor swift apparently love it too if that helps sway you at all. No reservations, you need to line up by 4p to get a table. Otherwise order a pie to go for $40 and walk around the historic neighborhood eating your pizza and admiring the brownstones. 5. Sake Bar Decibel - east 9th street Hip underground sake joint with amazing food. Often crowded but the service is very quick. 👗For thrifting clothes: Manhattan: 1. Beacon’s Closet on 13th street (near the new school) 2.Housing Works on West 10th 3.Housing Works on 74th 4.Cobblestones on E 9th 5.East Village Vintage collection on east 12th 6. Crossroads Trading on 2nd ave Brooklyn 1. Beacon’s Closet on Guernsey (it’s MASSIVE) 2. Awoke vintage 3. Monk Vintage 4. Buffalo Exchange on Driggs 5. Unearth Vintage on Smith street 6. Life Boutique thrift on 5th ave 7. The attic brooklyn

Gottscheer hall

Turns 100 this year! They love any excuse to party, but their halfway to Oktoberfest celebration is coming up. Sign up for the stein holding competition! also- DONOVANS PUB in Sunnyside Queens. A very charming Irish Pub that is also a Mets bar. I hear if you visit them after a game and show them your Mets ticket they’ll give you a free beer.

Pad gra Pao

My partner accused me of a murder-su*cide attempt last time I made this because I used 15 Birds Eye chilis.. enough heat to make one delirious. I follow this recipe VERY loosely. Usually double the sauce, double the green beans. Add red bell pepper. Add king oyster mushroom (diced, salted, water squeezed out).
