Whether you’re new to the city or a New Yorker by birth, it’s impossible to experience all of the restaurants and activities that New York City has to offer. Collectively, though, NYU students have developed a pretty solid idea of what to eat and where to go. This guide is not intended to be comprehensive or to highlight the best of the best. It’s simply an aggregate of the WSN editors’ recommendations for cheap eats and good times to either help you dip your toes into the Manhattan lifestyle or to introduce spots that you might not have known were just around the corner.
No matter your tastes, there's something inside for you.

AMY'S BREAD
250 Bleecker St.
Located on the corner of Bleecker and Leroy Streets, Amy’s Bread offers a wide variety of coffee and tea options, guaranteeing that you’ll be satisfied with your choice of caffeination. The coffee shop also sells dozens of fresh pastries and other small, yummy bites, making it the perfect place for a brunch date with friends or a cozy space to study and snack. It’s West Village location is just a five-minute walk from Washington Square Park, or there are other locations in Hell’s Kitchen, Chelsea Market, the New York Public Library and Lincoln Center.

CHA CHA Matcha 373 Broome St.
By PAMELA JEW, Deputy Copy Chief This Nolita cafe fits the bill for the matcha craze in NYC. The founders of Cha Cha Matcha — Matthew Morton and Conrad Sandelman — met while they were both students at NYU. The two went to Uji, Japan and became inspired by the culture, which led them to open Cha Cha Matcha. This matcha-focussed shop doesn’t only have the basic matcha tea but it has matcha pastries and soft serve. Although it is definitely not the best cafe for cranking out a 10 page paper, it is great for grabbing a quick snack while you’re out exploring downtown with friends.

By ANDREW HEYING, Opinion Editor Disclaimer: La Colombe is not a cute, hipster coffee shop to hit up for artsy Instagram photos. If you want that, I suggest Everyman Espresso or The Bean. Rather, La Colombe simply serves incredible coffee. Yes, they are a chain, so maybe supporting them makes me basic. But as an avid coffee drinker, La Colombe’s coffee has stood out amongst the dozens of shops I have tried around the city. Not only is their cold brew incredibly tasteful, it seems to have a bit more caffeine than other coffee, which makes all the difference as a busy college student. Also, they have multiple locations making them an essential and convenient stop before all late night study sessions. VIA FLICKR.COM

126 CROSBY ST. By TAYLOR ROGERS, Abroad Editor Housing Works is the one place in NYC where you shouldn’t regret dropping $4 on a cup of coffee. The cafe, the bookstore and the thrift store next door are non-profits run by volunteers who donate all of the proceeds to help New Yorkers who have been affected by AIDS. The cafe, which is situated in the back of the idyllic bookstore (spiral staircases and sliding ladders included), serves an excellent selection of coffee and tea beverages in addition to delicious soups and sandwiches. While Housing Works is the perfect location for a coffee date, it wouldn’t be recommended as a study spot as there are no outlets available for public use. VIA WIKIPEDIA.COM

coffee project nyc 239 east fifth st.
By YASMIN GULEC, Dining Editor If you are looking for more than your basic cup of joe, Coffee Project NYC is just the spot to make your coffee dreams come true. Only a 10 minute walk from Washington Square Park, this coffee shop is a great place to study, meet new people and drink some quality coffee. One of the signature menu items is The Deconstructed Latte, which is a latte broken down into three glasses. Another crowd favorite is the Nitro Coffee — cold brew coffee fed through a keg and infused with nitrogen to give it a creamy texture without adding any dairy to it. Selected as New York’s Most Loved Café by TimeOut magazine, this coffee shop also serves classic drinks such as coffee floats, affogato, espresso, macchiato, Americano, drip coffee and chai latte.
If you like strong, bittersweet coffee — the kind that makes non-coffee-lovers contort their faces after tasting it — then this is your place. The Brazilian coffee shop, located just a few blocks away from Washington Square West, is a hallmark of bodied and delicious coffee and has a welcoming atmosphere, resembling the country by which it is inspired. The menu suits the adventurous and the amateurs, from the good old cappuccinos to the strongest espressos. The drink, however, is an equal counterpart to the delicious pastries and meals of the house, which include many known Brazilian snacks and desserts such as pão de queijo and brigadeiro. While the coffee shop isn’t the cheapest, it’s worth the price and it’s an ideal spot to read your many Homer and Plato assignments while people-watching on Sixth Avenue.

H C N Mile End nyc 53 Bond St. and 97 Hoyt St., Brooklyn By YASMIN GULEC, Dining Editor Mile End NYC is considered one of New York’s most innovative delicatessens. Combining New York’s fast paced food scene with it’s love for traditional delis, this popular food stop should definitely be on your radar. Their all-day breakfast offers delicious options such as the crispy corned beef sandwich with three egg scramble, cream cheese, jalapenos and onion roll. The insta famous deli also offers classics such as the matzo ball soup, smoked beef sandwich and poutines. I suggest you check out their Instagram (@mileenddeli), but be prepared because the second you look at their food photos, you will grab your bag and run to the deli to take a bite. VIA FLICKR.COM
Clinton Street Baking Company & Restaurant 4 Clinton St. By SOPHIE SHAW, Beauty and Style Editor The pancakes at this casual Lower East Side brunch spot are truly worth the wait — even on weekdays when there is often a line. Offered in several flavors, the fluffy pancakes are stacked three high and served with their house-made, mouthwatering warm maple butter syrup. The menu also includes other brunch essentials like a classic country breakfast, eggs benedict, french toast and fried chicken and waffles. A few of the favorite brunch options are even served on their dinner menu, so it is easy to avoid breakfast peak hours. Come with cash, though, as the restaurant is cash only.

Mud 307 East Ninth St. By ABIGAIL WEINBERG, Editor-in-Chief
VIA FLICKR.COM
cafe orlin 41 St. Mark's Place By TAYLOR ROGERS, Abroad Editor Cafe Orlin has everything you want in a quintessential New York brunch, without the long waits and shocking prices. The cafe’s partially underground space is adorable and their unique blend of American and Middle Eastern flavors will keep you coming back long after you’ve instagrammed one of their iconic egg sandwiches. They do not take reservations, so be sure to pop by early to get a table on the patio, and do not leave without trying their famous home fries.
Mud’s all-day brunch includes any plate, from three organic eggs to a grilled chicken citrus salad; beer or a mimosa for the 21-and-up crowd or orange juice for those not yet of age; and a cup of Mud drip coffee, all for $18.50. The price may seem daunting, but you truly are getting two meals for the price of one — a Mud brunch will tide you over until the end of the day. The cozy inside restaurant is always playing groovy music, while the outside patio offers a retreat from the world when you’re just trying to bridge the gap between breakfast and dinner.
By ANNA LETSON, Multimedia Editor For those who like food on the more savory “lunch” side of brunch, San Marzano is reasonably priced with food that can’t be can’t beat. Their brunch menu includes a selection of mouthwatering paninis, eggs any way you’d like, french toast, and the usual sides. If that’s not enough for you, then their bottomless brunch menu is the way to go. Their prix fixe brunch comes loaded with a basket of muffins and pastries, juice, coffee and your choice of one of their homemade pasta dishes, all for the fair price of $16. If you’re 21, they have bottomless mimosas for only $10. On 2nd Avenue and 5th Street in the East Village, it’s not too far from campus and makes for a convenient brunch spot on the weekends. Just make sure you call ahead if you have a bigger group because this place is popular — but worth the wait and your money! STAFF PHOTO BY ANNA LETSON

t r e la newyorkina 240 Sullivan st. By SIERRA JACKSON, News Editor This inconspicuous gem at 240 Sullivan St. is devoted to bringing Mexican desserts to New York City streets. The shop’s homemade ice creams boast ingredients straight from Mexico, like Papantla vanilla, Mexican cinnamon and organic Oaxacan chocolate. Although the chain specializes in paletas — which means popsicles in Spanish — be sure to try the rich hot chocolate. Unlike the powdered beverage you’re accustomed to, La Newyorkina’s version is full of body and incorporates a hint of spice. The little spot also includes cute benches and window seating ideal for a chat with friends or an afternoon date. If you don’t feel like going into the store, La Newyorkina also has a kiosk on Astor Place that serves ice cream and paletas. STAFF PHOTO BY ABIGAIL WEINBERG
Ice and vice 221 E. Broadway
By YASMIN GULEC, Dining Editor Just a few blocks away from New York’s historical gem, the Tenement Museum, Ice and Vice is an experimental ice cream shop that is so good it should be illegal. This edgy dessert spot is known for its crazy flavors and seasonal menu items. Named the only ice cream shop to make vanilla the most interesting flavor by the Gothamist, Ice and Vice is the ideal place to satisfy your ice cream cravings with a bang. Their flavors include the 9 a.m. — made from Vietnamese coffee and donut truffle; and Tea Dance, which is crafted from Nilgiri tea leaf, lemon charcoal and salted caramel. Their seasonal flavors change all the time, so there are always new and innovative options to try. Currently they are offering seasonal flavors such as Red, which is made from hibiscus, rose and swedish fish fluff and Yellow, made from buckwheat honey, turmeric, sunflower and butterscotch. They also sell different cone flavors such as coconut macaroon, chocolate and cinnamon. VIA YELP.COM
cafe lalo 201 W. W. 83rd 83rd St. St. 201
By SOPHIE SHAW, B-Style Editor
VIA FLICKR.COM
This picturesque cafe on the Upper West Side presents visitors with an expansive dessert menu in addition to an endearing snippet of film history. A scene from the movie “You’ve Got Mail” starring Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks was filmed in the charming cafe, which continues to draw tourists today. A glass case full of assorted pastries, cakes, pies and cookies tempts those waiting for a table, as the cafe gets quite busy after 9 p.m. While Cafe Lalo also has a brunch menu and serves sandwiches and salads all day, it would be a shame to make the trip to the UWS and not indulge in a slice of one of the 70 types of cake or cheesecake. Because the small cafe tables are packed in tightly, it’s not an ideal place for group outings — bring a date or a few friends to share a sweet moment with.
sundaes and cones 95 E. 10th St. STAFF PHOTO BY ABIGAIL WEINBERG
RAy's Candy Store 113 ave. a By SIERRA JACKSON, News Editor A 24-hour storefront located on Avenue A right across from Tompkins Square Park, Ray’s Candy Store is the perfect place to go when you’re wandering home from a party or simply have a hankering for something sweet. The small shop offers everything from ice cream and fried Twinkies to mozzarella sticks and cheese fries. Ray’s also makes the best fried Oreos you’ll ever find — the batter remains crunchy even after the Oreos have gone cold, and you can buy a dozen for just $5. There’s no better way to cap off the night’s mischief than with a sweet little old man — the aforementioned Ray — serving up dad jokes with a side of fried treats.
By KAITLYN WANG, Features Editor This ice cream shop near campus has very little seating, but a lot of flavor. Reasonably priced for the huge scoops they give you, Sundaes and Cones is a one-stop shop for both your classic ice cream flavors like vanilla and ones with an Asian twist: ginger, black sesame and thai milk tea. At less than $5 for a scoop in a cone, you can’t get a better deal for the creamy deliciousness that is Sundaes and Cones. And don’t let the lack of chairs stop you — take your cones and head over to Washington Square Park for some sun. Ice cream is better outside, anyways.

ny dosas
50 washington square s. By SAYER DEVLIN, News Editor NY Dosas is the product of Thiru Kumar’s American Dream. After moving to the U.S. from Sri Lanka, Kumar saved up $27,000 to buy the permit required to run a food cart in Washington Square Park. Kumar’s cart only serves vegan food and doles out some of the best dosas in New York if not the world, and his cart is adorned with awards, accolades and reviews in several languages to prove it. Kumar is unfailingly polite and runs a top notch twitter account (@nydosas). The best part? Nothing at NY Dosas costs more than $7 while portions are generous, filling and healthy. Standouts include the masala dosa ($6), special pondicherry ($7) and samosas ($2 each).
champion pizza 17 cleveland pl.
By JORDAN REYNOLDS, Arts Editor When it comes to cheap pizza in the city, you’re never without options. I’d like to make the argument that springing an extra dollar for Champion Pizza’s two dollar slice is absolutely worth it. With a classic thin crust, sweet-but-nottoo-sweet tomato sauce and the perfect amount of mozzarella cheese, Champion has mastered the perfect slice. Their Margherita pizza is phenomenal, too. With an ideal location on Cleveland Place, if you ever find yourself near Broome Street Residence Hall, stop in for a delicious piece of pizza. STAFF PHOTO BY ABIGAIL WEINBERG

212 Hisae's 212 E. 9th st. By ANDREW HEYING, Opinion Editor Located just a short walk from the iconic Third North Residence Hall, 212 Hisae’s, or rather just 212, is a staple for those over 21 with a tight budget. The drinks are cheap, the free chips are delightful and the music is always boppin’. Also, the bar seems to be family-run as you can get served by anyone from a young, cute eighteen year-old to an adorable grandmother who seems years away from giving up her true calling: pouring shots. Be warned, however, this place is not somewhere to go for dancing or high-class entertainment. Instead, 212 offers a relaxed atmosphere to hang out with friends, making it perfect for Thursday and Friday-night gatherings. Arrive early though! There is always a line outside the bar, as students from all over the village line-up to hear what all the fuss is about.

By ABIGAIL WEINBERG, Editor-in-Chief A $3 bacon, egg and cheese sandwich or a $2 bagel with cream cheese is not easy to find in New York, especially not when it’s coupled with excellent service and located a short walk from campus. NoHo Juice Bar is a hidden gem on Mercer Street just south of Bleecker Street, replete with all the juices, coffees, candies and snacks you could want at prices that can’t be beat. If you’re ever looking for a quick bite between classes, NoHo is the way to go.
It’s all in the name — and if you’re running short on your weekly budget, the tiny Sixth Avenue pizza shop is the answer to your prayers. In a matter of minutes, you can get a slice of cheese pizza for a dollar, or add a topping for 50 more cents. There is always a fresh supply of condiments waiting for you before you head out the door, so feel free to make your slice as spicy or cheesy as you desire. Whether you’ve had a long night or are just too lazy to make yourself dinner, 99 Cent Fresh Pizza is open 24/7 and will always welcome you.

100 mott st.
Need something inexpensive, yet filling? Try Shanghai Cafe’s soup dumplings, delivered to your table delicious and piping hot, filled with juicy pork. There’s no better soup dumplings for the price, and you’ll notice that almost every table has a plate of these and for good reason, too. But while you’re here, treat yourself to cheap classics: the sesame noodles and scallion pancakes are just as divine. Found on busy Mott Street in Chinatown, Shanghai Cafe is popular, so you may find yourself in a line. But the service is fast, and you’ll be seated in no time. Don’t forget to bring cash, as this restaurant is cash only. STAFF PHOTO BY ABIGAIL WEINBERG
El nuevo caribeno 1675 lexington ave. By SIERRA JACKSON, News Editor If you’re a lover of Latin American fare, and you’re willing to travel outside of the NYU bubble, this restaurant is the place for you. Located at 1675 Lexington Ave. in East Harlem, this restaurant serves everything from oxtails and mofongo to peppered steak and paella. The yellow rice and beans dish has a homemade flavor you probably won’t find at a lot of other restaurants claiming to specialize in Latin American or Caribbean food. El Nuevo Caribeño even sells such tropical flavors as Country Club Merengue Soda, Goya juice, Goya’s Cola champagne and Malta Goya. So whether you’re trying Latin American food for the first time or you’re searching for a little taste of home, El Nuevo Caribeño deserves to be on your list of go-to eateries. VIA YELP.COM

44 irving ave., brooklyn By ADRIANA TAPIA, Deputy News Editor There are quite a few great spots for Venezuelan food around the city but Arepera Guacuco steals first place. This eatery serves different versions of the arepa, an iconic Venezuelan dish that will blow your mind away with its rich flavor. On top on that, Arepera Guacuco’s sauces are made from family-guarded recipes, and the atmosphere is the perfect balance of cozy and lively. Located in the heart of Bushwick, this laid-back restaurant is perfect for a quick, delicious lunch while visiting the neighborhood. If you are not sure what to order: one Reina Pepiada and one sangria is the way to go.
Mei Lai Wah was introduced to me by my roommate who speaks Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese) and had the uncanny ability to scope out Chinese bakeries in the dense knot of Chinatown. It’s a five-minute walk from Lafayette Hall, or a similar distance from the Canal Street NQRW / JZ / 6 train. Their prices are jaw-droppingly low — $1 for pork buns the size of your fist and $4 for enough congee to feed your hall — and the food beats any other Chinese I’ve ever had. They’re cash-only, and seating is limited, but it’s worth it to watch the bakers walk past with towering trays of fresh buns as you munch on your own.

Their journey started out with a 1963 volkswagen Kombi bus in which they drove from the Yucatan to Playa del Carmen. Now this same truck is parked in the Gansevoort Market selling delicious tacos to hungry customers. Their locations on Elizabeth St, and Flatiron not only serve delicious food but also serve as examples of Mexican hospitality. In their aesthetically designed stores you can find in-house sodas called Lupita, mexican coffee called La Antigua and tacos sourced by quality, local food producers. They take pride in their fresh, preservative free tortillas with gluten free options and their own salsa which is also made from fresh vegetables, chiles, seasoning and spices.

171 first ave.
By ABIGAIL WEINBERG, Editor-in-Chief Momofuku began as a noodle bar in 2004 and has since become a worldwide culinary empire. David Chang’s original restaurant remains at its First Avenue location and still serves up its signature Momofuku ramen bowl with pork belly, pork shoulder and a poached egg. At $15 to $17, the ramen bowls are a little pricy for a college student’s budget. However, the quality of the food is exceptional, making it the perfect place to take your parents when they’re in town. It’s best to go on a weekday because the restaurant doesn’t take reservations and is usually packed on weekends. VIA WIKIPEDIA.COM
eataly (Bring your parents) 200 fifth ave. By CARINE ZAMBRANO, Deputy Opinion Editor When your parents are around, it’s always a good idea to bring them to restaurants that embody the diversity of New York City; so, they may start thinking of you as a cosmopolitan, well-rounded young adult instead of that weird teenager who lived locked in a room and only ate pizza. While Eataly is an international franchise, it’s undeniable that the Italian marketplace is the place for reliable, affordable pasta that isn’t made for being heated in the microwave. However, Eataly is also the place if your parents prefer seafood. Or meat. Or just mozzarella and wine. The marketplace has a lot of specialty sectors, from appetizers to full-course meals, that make it easier to please many different palettes. And, if you’re into dessert, try the dessert bar, their famous gelato or the crepe in the Nutella bar. VIA FLICKR.COM

For a pleasant dinner that doesn’t break the bank when your parents come to town, try Kiin, a hip Thai eatery next to campus — literally, since it’s right next door to the Cantor Film Center. You can’t go wrong with classics like the pad thai, and the ho muk curry fish custard. The pineapple fried rice is delicious — and served in an actual, hollowed-out pineapple. The restaurant is quiet but lively with enough space to catch up with the family before you inevitably show them around your “campus.” Plus there’s an NYU discount: just show your ID for the satisfaction of getting a quality meal with your parents.

The ice cream shop serves scoops inside a Japanese, fish-shaped Taiyaki cake, creating a delicious and visually appealing concoction. They offer 6 delicious flavors and two fillings with a plethora of toppings. I recommend the matcha sesame with a red bean filling or the new Unicorn Taiyaki special. It’s a bit pricy at $7 a cone, but Taiyaki NYC makes up for it with a exciting flavors and a truly unique and beautiful dessert.

Full of diverse and creative artists, not one exhibition is like the other and all are constantly changing. You can spend up to four hours exploring different cultures or social and political concepts all displayed through photography, videos, statues and more in the museum’s endless maze of rooms. Plus, there is a beautiful outdoor sculpture garden that’s perfect to relax in during the fall season. (You can also get into the MoMA for free being an NYU student, so you have no excuse not to go!)
The Met Breuer houses the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s contemporary works. The less popular sister museum has all the elegance of the Met minus the crowds. The Met Breuer is a much smaller, selectively curated museum that typically runs just two or three exhibits at a time. The museum’s collection is eclectic having featured recent multimedia, a collection of unfinished works and photographs from early in Diane Arbus’s career. Additionally, Flora Coffee, located in the basement, serves delicious and instagrammable coffee. Tickets are pay what you wish but visitors are encouraged to be as generous as possible.

The museum documents everything from the arrival of settlers to the Jazz Age and the various social movements that rocked the city.

The museum itself is more than worth it. Its several floors, dedicated to not just American but global art, and containing stunning rotating exhibits, house enough material to keep you enthralled for hours. Currently featured are Judy Chicago’s “Dinner Party,” an iconic feminist work with handcrafted plates for dozens of feminist icons around a dinner table and “We Wanted a Revolution: Black Radical Women, 1965–85,” which focuses on the work and impact of black women throughout the second wave of feminism.

These pieces of art are not limited to traditional media such as oil on canvas but explore other types such as film and virtual reality. Many of the artworks in the Whitney are known for their critiques on social, political and economic issues.

brooklyn
By GRACE HALIO, Editor-at-Large If you’re looking for the atmosphere of the Washington Square Arch but need a park with a little more room for activities, hop on the subway to the Grand Army Plaza entrance to Prospect Park. You’ll be met with a more ornate arch, a 5 kilometer scenic route around the park (perfect for a run or bike ride), and an indoor-outdoor rollerskating and ice skating rink. And did we mention the greenery? One of the best parts about this expansive spot in Brooklyn is the immense lack of buildings on the horizon. So when you really need a reprieve from the city, you can explore the trails, pastures and ponds with a little more peace and quiet. On the days when you’re in need of some activity, there’s a year-round greenmarket, Smorgasburg, a poppin’ bandshell and weekly nighttime yoga in the summer — amongst a host of other free and low-cost activities sponsored by the Prospect Park Alliance.

central park manhattan
By COREY ROME, Deputy Photo Editor Waterfalls, a cave and a castle are probably the last three things you’d expect to see in New York City, much less in Manhattan. However, you can find all these and much more in Central Park. Impossible to miss on a map of the City, Central Park is a whopping 1.317 square miles. Despite being a major tourist destination, there are many hidden gems to the park. Wander through the North Woods to spot the waterfalls, enter through 79th street to explore Belvedere Castle and saunter through the idyllic Ramble to spot the cave. Also, make sure to visit the stunning Shakespeare Gardens and the lush Conservatory Gardens or picnic on the Great Lawn.
By TAYLOR ROGERS, Abroad Editor If you’ve ever wondered where to get the best Instagrams of the New York skyline, look no further than Brooklyn Bridge Park. Walk or take the 6 train to the end of the line for a peaceful stroll across the bridge and down into the park to soak in the view across the East River. Best of all, if you visit on a weekend there is a wonderful flea market and food festival just blocks away under the Manhattan Bridge.

gansevoort st. to w. 34th st By KAITLYN WANG, Features Editor There’s not exactly a lot of places to find green in the concrete jungle, and even fewer to find both a necessary nature fix and stunning views of the city all in one go. But the High Line, a park built on an abandoned elevated railroad track, is one of them. The park is 30 feet above street level, so it doesn’t interfere with that dreaded Manhattan traffic. It’s also, despite what you might think, a beautiful and quiet place to think and walk. The park is over one mile long, and along the way you’ll see gardens, art installations and even a semi-open air market. And the views of Chelsea? Unparalleled.

If you’ve seen the little bronze figures playing around the 14th St. ACE / L subway station, there’s plenty more of them dotting the lawn of Rockefeller. The park is perfect for an afternoon along the river that’s not as far as Central Park and gives you a rest from the same old scenes of our campus. It’s big enough to wander and admire, and even on busier days it can be peaceful enough to grab a patch of lawn for a picnic with friends. It gets you into a new neighborhood, has waterfront views and even its own Lily Pond to attract migratory birds. If you want a relaxing trip, an Instagrammable experience, or both, Rockefeller’s a perfect off-the-beaten-subway-track choice. Rockefeller Park is a short walk west of the Chambers St. 123 / 5 stop.

union pool
484 union ave., brooklyn By HAILEY NUTHALS, Editor-at-Large
VIA YELP.COM
Union Pool is just off the Metropolitan L stop, and tucked on the other side of the Brooklyn Queens Expressway from a huge number of other Williamsburg favorite venues like the Knitting Factory and Muchmore’s. The entrance to Union Pool is a brightly-painted bar with a strong selection of beers, ciders and standard cocktails, but if you walk through the doors on the back wall, you get to an outdoor patio area complete with a taco food truck and picnic tables. After a pitstop for tacos, head through the other set of doors for an intimate space set up with what could almost be a proscenium arch that hangs over widely respected indie and rock bands. Just make sure to check ahead of time whether the show is 21+, and plan accordingly.

baby's all right
146 Broadway, brooklyn By JEMIMA MCEVOY, Managing Editor Fans of Aziz Ansari’s Netflix series, Master of None, will immediately recognize the vibrant interior of Baby’s All Right, a Brooklyn-based restaurant, bar and music venue that cameoed briefly on the show. Nestled comfortably among the murals of Williamsburg with boastful proximity to the Brooklyn Bridge, this music venue is worth the trek for those Manhattanites who are looking for a unique place to watch live music. Most nights, this intimate space plays host to various indie rock and experimental artists against the colorful backdrop of the stage’s trademark disco ball wall.
By NATASHA ROY, Assistant Managing Editor If you’ve ever walked on West 10th Street in the evening, chances are you’ve encountered a line of people snaking out of Smalls Jazz Club. There is no such thing as a bad seat in this club, as the intimate setting provides a good view from every spot. The jazz club provides audiences with lively performances by passionate, talented musicians, and you can sit just a foot away from the bands if you arrive early enough. The club has multiple sets every day, running late into the night. If you’re a fan of jazz at all, Smalls is a must-visit.

6 Delancey st. By MICHAELA HOFFMAN, Violet Vision Editor For fantastic indie music you may or may not have heard of, but will be downloading from iTunes after the show, look no further than The Bowery Ballroom. Most shows are 18 and older, and tickets generally run between $15 and $30. On their calendar you can find multiple musical acts of different genres performing in one night. Before the show, you begin in a comfy lounge area equipped with crystal chandeliers, plenty of tables to sit and chill, a bar and a coat check. Once the doors are opened for the stage floor, you can keep on lounging or head on upstairs to check out your soon-to-be concert experience. When the show finally starts, the venue explodes in light and sound while keeping things intimate. You won’t feel crowded, and you can get a good view of the stage from any part of the pit. If you aren’t feeling the pit, you can always head to the second level, equipped with a bar, and rock out on one of the side balconies. VIA WIKIPEDIA.COM

Put on your pearls and suit jackets, then take the NQR uptown to Fifth Avenue. Tiffany and Co., Chanel, Dior: you name a fashion house, and they have a flagship on Fifth Avenue. On the cusp of Central Park, high rise stores offer you shopping with a view, but for a hefty price tag. If you can’t afford the clothes, the windows of Bergdorf Goodman will suffice. They’re like real-life Pinterest boards bursting with inspiration, but way classier.

Film forum 209 west houston st. By DANIELLA NICHINSON, Film Editor The Film Forum is one of the best independent movie theaters in the city and it happens to be a few minutes from campus. You can see everything there from comedy classics to innovative Italian cinema, as well as new releases of arthouse films. The theater itself oozes a grittiness and noir vibe that you’d hope to expect from a 1970s New York landmark. It often hosts special series showcasing the works of a particular filmmaker or a certain era in cinema history. If there’s an old film you’ve been dying to see on the big screen, there’s a good chance that you’ll find it airing at the Film Forum.
Every cinephile’s throwback Thursday dream is tucked away in the Lower East Side. Metrograph projects several movies on 35 mm daily to create an experience reminiscent of a 1920s theater. Tickets are cheaper than going to your typical movie theater and give you a blast of the past. Beside the theater, the Metrograph experience also includes a Commissary restaurant, a balcony lounge, a bookstore and a candy shop. A couple times a month they host free events and events where you can meet actors or directors.

the pit (people's improv theater) 123 east 24th st.
By MICHAELA HOFFMAN, Violet Vision Editor Established in 2002, the People’s Improv Theater is a hidden gem situated between Park Avenue South and Lexington Avenue. The PIT is known mainly for its award-winning improvisation school, and comedians Ellie Kemper, Hannibal Buress and Mamrie Hart have all graced the PIT stage. However, the shows offered here are affordable and of good quality. There are free comedy shows on Mondays and Wednesdays, and the shows performed by their comedy troupes are always creative and occasionally a little offbeat. One of their better shows, “Puffs,” is a comical retelling of Harry Potter from the Hufflepuffs’ point of view. The venue itself is intimate, the stage is small and the shows are rarely overpacked. If you get to a show early, then grab a round of cheap drinks with your friends at the Love Bar, located right in the lobby. You may also find yourself chatting with the cast after the performance at the bar.
angelika film center 18 west houston st.
By RYAN MIKEL, Deputy Social Media Editor Amidst the turbulence of settling into the fast-paced, go-for-broke island of Manhattan, it is important to find your element or your familiar in the unknown. For some, this may be the Starbucks on West Fourth or the New Museum on the Bowery, but for those wishing to escape the island’s hustle and bustle for $10 to $15, this haven could be a movie theater. From the mammoth blockbusters of 20th Century Fox to the “au courant,” art films of A24, Angelika Film Center is a Village favorite offering a wide selection of independent and foreign films. A five-minute walk from Washington Square Park, Angelika’s special programming includes Student Tuesdays and star-studded Q&A Panels. VIA WIKIPEDIA.COM

roosevelt island By JEMIMA MCEVOY, Managing Editor If you hate the subway as much as I do and crave the slight adrenaline rush of being suspended 100 feet in the air, I would recommend grabbing a few friends and hopping on the sky tram to Roosevelt Island for the day. The trams roll around every 10 minutes or so and can be boarded at 60th St. and 2nd Ave. for only the price of a subway ride. After a ride marked by mind-blowingly beautiful views of the city, you’ll arrive on the tiny island located between Manhattan and Queens in New York City’s East River. Although the island is only two miles long (adorable, right?), there is plenty to do on your day trip: pack a picnic and admire the immense concrete jungle that you have the great fortune of calling home, visit the small lighthouse at the northern end of the island, visit the ruins of a dilapidated smallpox hospital and stroll around the Four Freedoms Park, a four-acre memorial for Franklin D. Roosevelt.

rockaway By ABIGAIL WEINBERG, Editor-in-Chief Rockaway Beach and Boardwalk are technically located in Queens, but they feel so far removed from the city that it’s hard to take any of your urban worries with you there. The beach is vast, the sand is soft and the multiple jetties are calming lounging spots regardless of the season. If you get tired of gazing into the Atlantic Ocean and need a bite to eat, head over to RIPPERS between Beach 91st and Beach 92nd Streets for their famous RIPPERS burgers, a hot dog, fries or all three. To get to Rockaway, take the A train to Broad Channel and transfer to the Rockaway Shuttle. Any of the shuttle stops will take you to the beach, but Beach 90 St. is one of the most popular destinations due to its proximity to RIPPERS.

By VERONICA LIOW, Multimedia Abroad Editor Only open to the public in the summer, Governor’s Island is a historical landmark with much to do. Such activities include touring Castle Williams — the once defensive fort in 1807, the later model prison in 1903 and the now community center since 1966 — to attending some of New York’s most famous events, such as Governor’s Ball and the NYC Unicycle Festival. Visitors can indulge in one of the most well-known activities at Governor’s Island: biking around while sightseeing. They can later stop by the Liggett Terrace Food Court to grab a snack and then head to Hammock Grove to relax before exploring the rest of the island. Governor’s Island is open until Oct. 31. To get to the island, visitors can take a ferry, which costs two dollars round-trip and is free on weekend mornings. VIA WIKIPEDIA.COM
the cathedral of st. john the divine 1047 amsterdam ave. By CONNOR GATESMAN, Music Editor Regardless of your religious affiliation, the Cathedral of St. John the Divine is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful architectural marvels in the wonderful city of New York. Located in the Morningside Heights neighborhood in uptown Manhattan, the magnificent cathedral began construction in 1892, and is still unfinished to this day. It is the fourth largest Christian church in the world and is a prime example of the Romanesque and Gothic revival style in our own backyard. Entry to the church is free, but a vertical tour is highly recommended, enabling you to climb the spiral staircase all the way to the roof for an amazing view of Manhattan. While not exactly close to NYU, a visit to this cathedral makes for an awesome trip uptown. Make sure to check out nearby Italian joint V&T Pizzeria, as well as the Hungarian Pastry Shop, for grub that does the cathedral justice! VIA WIKIPEDIA.COM

By ADRIANA TAPIA, News Editor Dive into some West Village history with a night at Fat Cat on Christopher Street. It’s a hole-in-the-wall kind of place down in a basement bar where there is live jazz featuring local talent every night. They have a handful of pool tables, ping pong tables and board games (chess, checkers and more) to keep you entertained if the music and dancing isn’t enough. The place has a lot of character and makes you feel like you’ve struck gold in the local scene. The cover is only $3 and if you’re under 21, you can still get in if you’re there before 10:00pm and stay all night long. The music is great, drinks and snacks are cheap and the ambience is everything you’re looking for in a jazz bar.
By ANDREW HEYING, Opinion Editor The Pyramid Club is basically the embodiment of #throwbackthursday that you don’t want to miss out on. Based in Alphabet City, this ‘80s-themed dance club is perfect for ending the night screaming the lyrics to your favorite ‘80s hits. There’s sometimes even a Prince impersonator dancing on stage when “Kiss” comes on, and you can request any song you want to hear throughout the night. You can also go downstairs in the Pyramid Club for special themed nights — ‘90s night is a popular one. If you’re older than 21, I guarantee you will have an amazing time getting back to the ‘80s.

peculier pub 145 bleecker st. By JEMIMA MCEVOY, Managing Editor Bleecker Street may be the location of that 8 a.m. class you dread trudging to every Monday morning, but there is a redeeming jewel to its tarnished reputation: Peculier Pub. Peculier offers all of the allure and vibrancy of any bar on MacDougal without the astronomical prices. Long wooden picnic tables adorned with etchings from past customers offer a rustic ode to the traditional British pub, and an atmosphere blushed with welcoming shades of lilac and raspberry pink promises light-hearted conversation and enviable Instagram pictures. The drinks are relatively inexpensive, and there are a fair number of beers on tap if you’re looking to impress others with your niche knowledge of craft beer. The best thing about Peculier is the jukebox that allows you to monopolize the soundtrack of the night for everyone in the room. For only a couple of dollars a pop, you can grant yourself DJing powers and subject your innocent companions to hours of vintage rock and classic hits via hogging the metaphorical aux cord.
