One of the city's most iconic craft beer bars. It's a tight spot and has a cozy fireplace. Their food is barcentric but done well.

This is Murray's Cheese Restaurant not be confused with the Cheese Shop a couple of doors down. I enjoy the cheese platters here as well as their charcuterie. My favorite is the Funkmaster platter. Good selection of beer and wine. There's also dishes like Mac & Cheese, CheeseBurger, fondues, salads and much more.

This comedy club is just a short walk from the apartment and one of the better clubs with headline acts at a reasonable price. I even went on an amateur night and Jerry Seinfeld surprised the club by jumping on stage. you never know who will show.

This is the preferred Trader Joe's in the area which is about a 10-12 minute walk. This Trader's Joe's on 6th avenue has plenty more space and easily accessible. than the other Trader Joe's in the area. There is another straight down on 14th street by Union Square but it is really tiny and cramped and they even make people wait in lines to get in there.

This is the Whole Foods I prefer compared to the other nearby ones as it is more spacious and easily accessible compared to the one in Union Square. It's still only a 12 minute walk.
