Decent quality food with good drinks. This 24/7 upscale diner has everything. Moderately priced. The staff is sometimes cold, unfriendly, and full of themselves; but hey, you're in NYC!

No frills, eat-in or take out NY pizza joint. You can get delivery or take-out by the slice or a whole pie. My favorite is the "Grandma Slice." Great inexpensive, quick food option.

Good food at decent prices that won't break your budget. Good cocktail list and (mostly) friendly staff. Mostly gay scene but all are welcome! Fun bar scene as well.

YUMMY meatballs, all different ways, that will be sure to satisfy you! My favorite is the Meatball Smash. Inexpensive and fun! TIP: It gets crowded - put your name on list and grab a drink next door.

Good coffee, though I prefer The Grey Dog. This is a bit closer to the apartment however. The staff is sometimes ... well ... grumpy. :-)

Not my favorite grocery store, but it's VERY close to the apartment and it's convenient if you need milk and orange juice. It's overpriced and feels dingy. Go to Trader Joe's if you can.

They call it a sports bar, but it really isn't. Very large and gets crowded. It does have a good 2-for-1 happy hour though.
