Best For: Brunch, Lunch, Tea
Borough: Manhattan
Why I love it: In whimsical and Wonderland inspired Alice's you can expect meals with titles like "The Mad Hatter" and "The Jabberwocky." There are three locations (called "chapters") in the city, each with slightly different menus. Regardless of which chapter you visit, be sure to try their delicious house blend indian black vanilla tea called "Alice's."

Best For: Lunch, Dinner
Borough: Bronx
Why I love it: Having gone to Fordham, I'd be remiss if I failed to mention Arthur Avenue. With too many amazing places to name individually, the little Italy of the Bronx has some of my favorite restaurants in the city. If I'm forced to talk specifics, Tino's for lunch and Enzo's for dinner are at the top of the list.
Best For: Lunch
Borough: Brooklyn
Why I love it: Bakeri is an adorable and indie little hole in the wall. Their lunch menu is so good and their bakery case is to die for. Plus you can watch them bake everything while you eat!
[The Butcher's Daughter]
Best For: Lunch
Borough: Manhattan
Why I love it: You won't find any meat on the menu at the Butcher's Daughter (she's clearly quite rebellious). This juice bar and cafe is a must, especially if you love avocado toast as much as I do. The menu is constantly changing but always 100% meat and dairy free!

Why I love it: I just can't with Cafe Lalo. I love it so much because it's basically perfect. You can read all about my love in post linked below.
Best For: Lunch
Borough: Manhattan
Why I love it: Adorable and perfect for a quick lunch break after spending some time at the MET on the Upper East. Expect the classic soup and sandwich situation.

Borough: Manhattan
Why I love it: A taste of the shore in the city. The decor will make you dream of the sea and the beach fries... oh the beach fries.
Mentioned in this post!
Best For: Lunch, Dinner
Borough: Manhattan
Why I love it: The Paris Cafe is the perfect place to grab food after walking the Brooklyn Bridge or exploring South Street Seaport. It's one of New York's oldest pubs and has an impressive history dating back to the 1800's involving famous patrons like Thomas Edison and Teddy Roosevelt.
[Pier 66 Maritime Bar & Grill]
[Pier 66 Maritime Bar & Grill]
Best For: Lunch
Borough: Manhattan
Why I love it: The perfect Summer spot, located on a floating railroad barge at Pier 66 on the Hudson with historic Lightship Frying Pan and John J. Harvey Fireboat floating alongside. I would recommend sitting on the top deck for a nice misty breeze! If you insist on the bottom take the splash warnings seriously-- my friend Alex got soaked, and while it was hilarious for me, he wasn't too thrilled.
Best For: Lunch, Dessert
Borough: Manhattan
Why I love it: Like Eloise, I absolutely love the Plaza, especially their basement food hall. There are so many amazing options that it's overwhelming! Once you've finished eating, pop around the corner to find an adorable store dedicated to the Plaza's most famous and rambunctious resident.
[Rosie's]***
Best For: Lunch, Dinner
Borough: Manhattan
Why I love it: While the drinks are certainly not for the weak willed, Rosie's serves up delicious Mexican dishes are simple and traditional. With an open dining room around a central bar, and bulb lights strung from the ceiling, it's for sure a fun, casual environment for a group of friends. Side Note: Rosie's is a sister restaurant of the Cookshop.
Best For: Lunch, Dinner
Borough: Manhattan
Why I love it: Tavern on the Green is a picturesque summer setting. Nestled on the west side of central park, the outdoor seating is surrounded by beautiful string lights where diners can watch the activity in the park while they eat.
Best For: Lunch, Tea
Borough: Manhattan
Why I love it: Quintessentially British right down to the waiters and waitresses. Choose from over 30 different types of tea and don't forget to order scones with clotted cream.
