Delicious vegetarian/vegan restaurant. Everything is delicious. HIGHLY recommend the strawberry shortcake. A good place for a casual meal that still feels like an experience (lunch, dinner, or a snack!).

This is not a joke. Artichoke is not pizza. It is a delicacy. Don't even think about it like pizza. Go there and order the "artichoke slice." You cannot visit the village and not eat this. Just trust us.

There a few of these throughout the city. THE BEST meatballs you will ever have. Easy to order several things and share with friends. Full bar (but the cocktails not so worth the price, in our opinion). A pleasant atmosphere, but the meal won't break the bank.

This is our backyard. The dog park is always fun to visit (the puppies are so cute)! Also swing sets, tennis courts, ping pong tables, and sometimes public pianos! Feel free to take a run around the circumference of this park -- one loop is a half a mile.

This place is hard to describe, but worth a visit. (It's crosstown, so about 15-20 min walk away). Samsung 837 has a cafe, a lounge to relax and do work, and a VIRTUAL REALITY ride to try. Worth the visit if you're heading to that area (Meatpacking District), where there's so much to do!
