This place is pretty neat, it's in close-proximity to the MIT Museum and the science-themed design was appreciated-- their menu is on a periodic table of elements chalkboard. :) They have a small select menu, with a lot of Southwestern/Mexican options, like quesadillas and chips & guacamole, but they also serve sandwiches and burgers. There was a full bar and...

You stop in Highland Kitchen for a drink and stay all night. I really love this place, it really encapsulates the welcoming and community vibe of Somerville. The food menu boasts a lot of creative comfort foods: buffalo fried brussel sprouts (holy moly awesome) and mac n' cheese. They have good options for vegetarian diners, too. They have a fantastic...

I really like Printed Matter. It's a great non-profit gallery/store that specializes in artist books, zines, and limited-editioned prints. You can find works by younger artists, and much of it is affordable ($10-$500). It would be a cool place to check in for a unique souvenir or gift if you are an art-lover visiting the city or a must-visit for...

I'm seriously deprived of crab rangoon on the East coast-- so happy to eat the crab rangoon and other delicious things from Fortune Palace. The dumplings are also pretty wonderful, we tried the pork dumplings, both the steamed and seared versions. Everything was prepared very freshly and they served very generous portions. I'd recommend trying the Hot and Sour soup,...

The High Line has quickly become one of New York City's major tourist destinations. The west side of Manhattan is really growing and developing; the addition of this beautiful park has left it's mark on this area. I work in Chelsea, so I really love spending my lunches on the High Line to relax and read. I also like to...

I like grabbing a burger at the New York Burger Co. in Chelsea. Plan to always leave incredibly full-- the burgers are enormous and come with all sorts of toppings and additions. The atmosphere is a bit like an upscale fast food joint, although burgers are cooked to order so expect a little wait-- but be thankful they aren't sitting...

I am completely a fan of M & S Grill's happy hour. This is a fantastic place to take a break from shopping in the Plaza. They have a very large patio as well as a beautiful bar/lounge area to accommodate for happy hour guests. The service is impeccable, friendly and attentive. They also boast pretty fantastic deals for happy...

The Toy & Miniature Museum is an out of the ordinary tourist attraction of Kansas CIty, but a great place to visit for all ages. As someone well out of their childhood, I was fascinated by toys of my own past, as well as generations' past. There's a lot of history and variety in everything displayed from dollhouses, games, marbles,...

Located in close proximity to Little Italy, Angolo SoHo features authentic and rustic Italian fare. There's a heavy focus on meat, but also a strong attention to fresh produce and house-made specialities, such as the charcuterie and pasta. For a starter, we especially enjoyed the grilled quail, melon and heirloom tomato salad. It was definitely an inventive dish, and finely...

Katz's Delicatessen needs little introduction, it's definitely a landmark of the Lower East Side. I do recommend visiting Katz's Deli for the experience, unfortunately, it's not quite affordable for multiple returns. Katz's Deli is famous for their pastrami on rye-- the'll even slice you sample as you wait for your sandwich to be prepared, but beware, it's a $16 sandwich--...

I really enjoyed having Sunday brunch at Piquante. Sunday brunch is a staple of nyc living and you can typically expect a wait at good brunch spots each week. Very surprisingly, we did not have to wait for our brunch during this visit. They have a pretty large dining area so that may have contributed to it or maybe they...

I visited the Williamsburg outpost of Peter's Since 1969 recently and what stood out the most about this place was the warm wave of comfort and nostalgia that washes over you upon entering. It's a little more on the casual side as you order cafeteria-style from the counter and they dole out heaping portions of southern sides, chicken and cornbread....
