Amazing food hall, containing vendors from every genre of food. Can't recommend this highly enough, it's not to be missed! Gets super busy on the weekend, but is ideal if your jet lag has you on an off-peak meal schedule!

Great for a healthy lunch. Our favorites are the Swai (fish) sandwich and the salmon salad. The made-to-order juices and smoothies are great, too.

Incredible, authentic and affordable Mexican food! It's in the back of a bodega, and may look like a "dive" but the food is great, cheap and the servings are very generous. Perfect breakfast to recover from a big night on the town.

750 Myrtle Diner

Kleinberg's is just around the corner (literally) and is our go-to for a nice glass of wine and a relaxed meal. Their specialty is natural wine (biodynamic, unfiltered, sulfite-free etc) which is one of our favorite vices. The covered greenhouse-style back area is great for a rainy day.
