There are tons of trendy and adorable coffee shops in the area, but sometimes a little familiar, most likely sugary, drink from Starbucks can't hurt. This is also my go to spot for a seat and to get some work done. The trendy anti-Starbucks coffee shops are always too crowded. :)

Inside of Tompkins Square Park is the BEST dog park in all of New York City. If you're a dog lover like me, you must stop by and watch them play. It will bring you so much joy!
