The stuffed dates are crave worthy, the Scotch eggs, pure perfection. The portobello burger will have you salivating and it's the best Kale salad in NYC. In short, here is not so standard standard-issue pub grub. Closer inspection reveals things like chicken-liver pâté with onion jam (delicious), Berkshire-pork sliders (delectable), and corned-beef sandwiches with Swiss Gruyère (drool-inducing). Furthermore, Wilfie & Nell, the fine print read, would like to thank the following purveyors: Blue Ribbon Bakery, Murray’s Cheese Shop, Piccinini Brothers (meats), and Bob McClure (pickles). In fact, Wilfie & Nell's menu was put together by Joaquin Baca (of Momofuku and Rusty Knot fame). From the bacony split-pea soup to the bacony arugula salad, everything will exceed expectations. But be forewarned: If you’ve got an appetite, go early or on a slow night. It gets loud and raucous on weekends, when a thirsty young crowd takes over the room like a swarm of locusts, seemingly oblivious to the pedigreed pub grub at their disposal.

Personal Note: The wine list is exquisite and the food is otherworldly. Best roast chicken in NYC.
Born and raised in Naples, Italy, Raffaele Ronca comes from a family of butchers and fishermen and has had a passion for food all his life. With his family also in the restaurant business, food and cooking was not only an integral part of his Italian culture, it is in his blood. Working in his Uncle's restaurant in Naples and helping his Mother make fresh pasta daily, Raffaele developed a lifelong passion for
food. Immigrating to America at the age of 21, he worked steadily at some of New York's most authentic Italian restaurants including as Executive Chef at Palma, Chef du Cuisine at Bellavitae, and Manager of Food and Wine at Café Torino.
A few years ago, Raffaele and Romeo Palmisano, an old friend from Naples, began discussing opening their own restaurant that would feature their beloved Naples' cuisine. Working together, perfecting each detail which includes also the weekly flower arrangements - they created Ristorante Rafele.

My personal favorite restaurant in NYC. The ambience is unbeatable, best wine list in the city, and the food will have you thinking you traveled to heaven.
This popular, painstakingly designed, market-restaurant. Il Buco offers carefully curated dry goods in the Alimentari grocery section up front, along with a butcher display stocking boutique cured meats (admirably smoky, feathery strips of salumi “Toscano,” de rigueur blocks of lardo), and racks stuffed with loaves of Italian bread baked in-house. You can purchase these goodies to take home, or sample them and other delicacies at the Vineria wine bar and restaurant on the premises, which serves lunch and dinner from an open kitchen in the back manned by chefs wearing orange Italian bicycle caps.
Some of the most respected gastronomes in town have compared their meals at this precious little restaurant to ones they’ve enjoyed in Italy itself. The beautifully balanced pastas or the ribbons of roast porchetta will change your life. The salt-roasted branzino is a minor work of art and so is the snow-white panna cotta, which is drizzled with a rich slick of aged balsamic vinegar and served in a simple bowl.
A must for celebrations!

The Warren (which is two doors down from the apartment) is a new and welcome addition to the neighborhood. Serving small batch, sustainable wines (which change seasonally), and small plates as well as main courses. The vibe is lively and laid back. Anywhere that serves charcuterie is good in our book BUT never overlook the other food which can border on other worldly. The fried chicken and red cabbage slaw, lamb chops, brussel sprouts, and burger are must tries. If you have the opportunity, do your best to eat your way through the menu.

In 1888, a small deli by the name of Iceland Brothers was established on Ludlow Street in New York’s Lower East Side by the Iceland brothers. Upon the arrival of Willy Katz in 1903, the name of the store was officially changed to "Iceland & Katz". Willy’s cousin Benny joined him in 1910, buying out the Iceland brothers to officially form Katz’s Delicatessen. Their landsman Harry Tarowsky bought into the partnership in April 1917. Katz’s Deli was moved across the street, to its present location, during the construction of the subway system. The vacant lot on Houston Street (pronounced "House-ton" after a Dutch emigrant of the same name) was home to barrels of meat and pickles until the present storefront facade was added between 1946-49. And of course, it's where Harry met Sally! Hope you have what she had.

To walk downstairs into this old West Village bar is to step out of time a bit. As an amicable regular might tell you, the room first opened in the 1850s as a prostitutes' den, became a boy bar by the 1890s, and lasted through Prohibition, when it was known as Marie's. A piano joint in which patrons and musical theater performers gather round the keys and sing as a group. The fanciest thing at the bar itself—which serves Bud, Bud Light, and simple mixed drinks—is the stunning WPA mirror depicting French and American Revolution scenes, its origins unknown. Lore and mystery abound at Marie's, and conversation easily turns to the subject of the house ghosts, or the rusty kitchen from the bar's tavern days, or simply the dark, dank wood-beamed floor underneath, which has clearly soaked up its share of memories.

The photographs that crowd the walls show jazz greats with their eyes half-closed, heads tilted back in ecstatic concentration. That same expression is worn by the patrons thanks to the world-famous acoustics of this wedge-shaped room. Opened in a former Greenwich Village speakeasy in 1934, this small club had a tradition of showcasing bohemian outpourings—from Lenny Bruce’s earliest rants to Harry Belafonte’s navel-baring dance—before it switched to strictly jazz in 1957. Since then, the Vanguard has become a mecca for all things swinging. The roster of luminaries begins with John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, and Cecil Taylor then extends through today's biggest names. Despite the frequent rumble of the subway underfoot, the room has also served as a recording studio for seminal artists such as Sonny Rollins and Wynton Marsalis. The red stairwell may be perilously steep; the green basement, a little bit shabby, but this joint's long been more about aural experiences, not visual ones. And so long as this sacred space remains intact, New York City will keep its cool.

The bartenders wear suspenders and many of the old rules still apply (no talking loudly or misbehaving), a warm color scheme of mustard-painted walls and low ceilings made from orange-painted sheets of corrugated steel. An old standup piano occasionally used by jazz trios also lightens up the subterranean location. The mixology is still rigorous: The staff arrives two hours ahead of opening to squeeze fresh juice, chill glasses, and cut blocks of ice (to keep the drinks from diluting quickly). Name your favorite liquor and they’ll give you an encyclopedic list of old-fashioned cocktails and egg flips that incorporate it. Yes, they may serve the best mojito this side of Havana, but why settle for that when they also make the Trinidadian version: the Queens Park Swizzle. This ruby-colored variation uses bitters to give it a tart, eye-opening flavor. An abundance of booths makes walk-ins a cinch. But for a lesson in libations the true alcohol aficionados will stand at the bar.

In 1988, after 50 years of being shuttered, Historian Ruth Abram and Anita Jacobson stumbled upon the tenement at 97 Orchard Street. They wanted to build a museum that honoured America’s immigrants, but as the apartments were in ruin, it would take years to transform the tenement into a museum. Researchers scavenged and combed through archives, compiling evidence about tenants and tenement life.

The story of New York’s great cathedral mirrors the story of the city itself. Created to affirm the ascendance of religious freedom and tolerance, St. Patrick’s Cathedral was built in the democratic spirit, paid for not only by the contributions of thousands of poor immigrants but also by the largesse of 103 prominent citizens who pledged $1,000 each. St. Patrick’s Cathedral proves the maxim that no generation builds a cathedral. It is rather, a kind of ongoing conversation linking generations past, present and future.

Rockefeller Center is home to a remarkable collection of art deco motifs and sculptures signifying man’s development in spirit, science, industry and more. Rockefeller Center represents a turning point in the history of architectural sculpture: it is among the last major building projects in the United States to incorporate a program of integrated public art. Sculptor Lee Lawrie contributed the largest number of individual pieces – twelve, including the statue of Atlas facing Fifth Avenue and the conspicuous friezes above the main entrance to the Comcast Building.
A large number of artists contributed work at the Center, including Isamu Noguchi, whose gleaming stainless steel bas-relief, News, over the main entrance to 50 Rockefeller Plaza (the Associated Press Building) was a standout. At the time it was the largest metal bas-relief in the world. Other artists included Carl Milles, Hildreth Meiere, Margaret Bourke-White, Dean Cornwell, and Leo Friedlander

Artist Arturo Di Modica created the Wall Street Bull sculpture following the 1987 stock market crash as a symbol of the “strength and power of the American people.” On December 15, 1989, Di Modica secretly transported the bull to Lower Manhattan and installed it beneath a 60-foot Christmas tree in front of the New York Stock Exchange on Broad Street as a Christmas gift to the people of New York. People flocked to see the bull, but the police ended up seizing the sculpture and placed it into an impound lot. A public outcry and pressure from New Yorkers, led the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation to officially install it two blocks south of the Exchange in the plaza at Bowling Green.

Set on the actual Intrepid Aircraft Carrier one of the most successful ships in US history, it’s now a national historic landmark and one of the most unique attractions in NYC. In 1943, Intrepid was commissioned and served in World War II, saw three tours of duty in Vietnam, and was involved in submarine surveillance in the North Atlantic during the Cold War. Now docked off Manhattan, it has various planes, helicopters and even shuttles from recent history to fuel the imagination. The deck also offers a none too shabby view of New Jersey and Midtown from its docked Hell’s Kitchen vantage point. However the real gem is the tiny Growler nuclear sub that went into service in 1964 and did 8 missions to the coast of the Soviet Union before being de-commissioned. The tour shows just how astonishingly basic the controls with which the world entrusted its fate to in the 60’s.

The Flatiron Building is one of New York’s most iconic buildings. Located in Midtown Manhattan, it sits on a triangular island formed by Fifth Avenue, Broadway and East 22nd Street and 23rd Street. So how did it become known as the Flatiron you ask? Back in 1857, Amos Eno the owner of the land put a canvas screen on the wall, and projected images onto it from a lantern on top of one of his smaller buildings and showed advertisements and pictures. The Times and the New York Tribune soon got in on the action and began using the screen for news bulletins as people would gather in Madison Square to watch. Forty years later, the Fuller Company bought and built the current building and tried to call it the ‘Fuller Building’, but the name never quite caught on.
