#best that restaurants in midtown NYC

For the wip ask game

10022? I have no idea what it could be

yes! 10022 is a fic i have that is just...tons of little sections that i have no idea how to make into a "plot." i almost think it...won't have a plot? just a series of vignettes in chronological order. it's a fic about someone finally risking it all, or trying to, in order to discover themselves a little, and that's an ongoing process so it kind of doesn't naturally have plot?

that someone is of course frank, and this fic is about his season living in new york and playing with NYCFC. this is my favorite player era of his for a lot of reasons. i actually don't know where you're from so i'll assume you're not from the US just for this purpose (i'm really sorry if i assumed wrong!!) 10022 is the zip code (postal code) for the neighborhood where frank lived in manhattan--midtown east. it's weirdly a neighborhood that i like a lot, and i'm generally no longer a fan of manhattan and now that i don't work there i try to Avoid it--it's just very very noisy and crowded and too many of the worthwhile stores and restaurants that i loved have shut down post-covid or bc of stupid high rents. but this neigborhood is an interesting mix of Huge Buildings, some touristy places, and then as you walk east toward the river it becomes sort of...insular? like just residential buildings with stores geared toward the local population. most of the neighborhood doesn't have very convenient public transit access, so if you walk a couple blocks in you feel kind of cut off from everything else. it suits frank well i think.

wow, i still haven't said what this fuckin fic is about lol. my theory is that in new york he was alone for the first time in his life--no dad to harass him, and while i think christine visited plenty (i mean, london-new york is one of the easiest international flights around, and she certainly could afford it), she does live tv so it wasn't like she could work from home. so frank had all this time to 1) be the Elder Good Example (37 years old) to a team just starting out with a bunch of Young Lads, and 2) to try to be brave enough to explore the sexuality he's known he's had for decades. as part of the fic, he nervously looks up gay bars and ventures off to pick up men, and they're certainly very interested, but he always chickens out at the last minute. i think he's afraid in general, and also the guys aren't...cousin jamie.

something else that makes me want to write this is the way frank talks about living in NYC--he truly loved it here, and a lot of his favorite places/restaurants were not rich people/tourist traps (also one of them is literally down the block from me, lol) and i find that very touching. i appreciate his appreciation for this pain in the ass hometown of mine. i also really think he enjoyed the relative anonymity and the attitude toward things, as part of his Gay Explorations:

If home is the place where you can relax and take the pressure off, then New York City is already home.  The only expectations of him here are professional ones. He can do those things, or try his best to. He can move the ball down the pitch, intimidate the opponent, smash the ball into the net the way it was drilled into him decades ago, score some confident penalties, and mentor the young lads (in football, anyway--regardless of what José has said, he's the last person who should be teaching anyone how to be a Man.) and if he can't do all that, at 36, then he'll know he gave it a good try, and the fans in royal blue will still love him all over the world.  But personally? He's alone as long as nobody is visiting, and being alone in New York will be different from London. He's looked it up. London is the slightly bigger city, in terms of the population, but New York has a firm culture of mind your own damn business and you better not be staring at me and if you saw something no you didn't.  Anything could happen.  If no one saw something you could do anything, really.

getting to write something in a place i'm very familiar with is really fun--i can load it up with authentic details, including stuff that was going on in the social backdrop of the city, weird weather, etc. (though, MLS seasons work differently than a lot of the big european league seasons because of the very cold winters we (used to) have in a lot of the country, so i got confused by dates/timing as usual and kinda gave winter 2016 some of our weird winter 2015's attributes...oh well literally no one will know)

sorry this was a lot to say very little. this fic is really fun to write but i just kind of work on it at random bc there's no plot, haha. i have a scene i kinda recently started working on where frank takes young english lad jack harrison to this diner down the block from his house, but it's not a date! not a date at all! look frank's got his wedding ring on!

here is another excerpt hahah

17 questions, 17 people

thanks for the tag @seresinhangmanjake – go read hers here!

nickname: Em is a nickname! I will also accept thot

sign: Capricorn

height: 5′2"

last thing i googled: Restaurants midtown NYC (lol going next week and need to set up a meeting place with a client and can we just admit Midtown central kind of blows for good non-steak house options?)

song stuck in my head: Midnight Rain

number of followers: 774

amount of sleep: 7 hours

lucky number: 13

dream job: Dermatologist, OBGYN or author!

wearing: Lululemon head to toe like the suburban mom I aspire to be (define jacket, align pants, align bra)

movies/books that summarize you: Ooh not sure I can find one that summarizes me. I'll just leave you with the idea that my vibe is Leslie Mann's character in "How To Be Single"

favorite song currently? Weirdly it's gotta be "Somewhere in the Orange" by Zach Bryan

aesthetic: Old world academia + Southern ladies who lunch + suburban yoga mom + OCD chef  

favorite author: Do not make me choose from my babies. I'm on a bit of a Ruth Ware kick as I just finished "The It Girl" but I really pop around, it's more of a genre thing to me – mystery + romance + English Victorian lit. Also weird book plug but I read "I Am Pilgrim" by Terry Hayes last year and it was one of the best books I've read in the last decade.

random fun fact: I drunkenly knocked on an office door in my old office building desperate to know what they did because they had no signage. Ends up they were the corporate comms teams for the NY Islanders, which is how I found myself sitting in their owner's box the next night at Barclays eating a sushi buffet and wearing a free Islanders hat that I still own to this day. I also met Anne Hathaway in a bathroom in that building.

Living in Park Slope, Brooklyn

We lived in Park Slope for ~18 months and really enjoyed the neighborhood for its peaceful, quiet vibes. Unlike other places we've lived in NYC, the streets are typically uncrowded and quiet with rarely any shouting outside our home and minimal honking from cars, and people generally seem less rushed. The close proximity to Prospect Park - designed by Frederick Law Olmstead, like Central Park - was definitely a perk, as was having relatively easy access to Manhattan via the subway. We also liked how large, affordable, and relatively not crowded our gym was.

On the flip side, the commute time to Manhattan was long (45 mins at best to midtown, but best to budget an hour for delays), and with longer subway wait times on weekends, we often stayed in the neighborhood vs. venturing into "the city." Most of the housing stock is very old brownstones (ours is from the 1890s), which comes with maintenance issues, lack of elevators, and some level of decrepitude (this was a HUGE problem in the duplex we rented, which had constant maintenance issues and vermin and a very checked-out landlady). And the vegetarian food options are rather depressing -- the neighborhood is overflowing with pasta/pizza joints (yay carbs, but no veg protein), sugary dessert shops, a seemingly disproportionate amount of non-A grade restaurants (per the NYC food safety rating system), and generally mediocre tasting food.

Our time in the neighborhood was split across a 1-bedroom sublet (4th floor walkup for ~3 months) and a 2-bedroom duplex brownstone (garden & parlor levels for ~15 months). Both were based in "South Slope", the even quieter subsection of the neighborhood that is slightly deeper into Brooklyn than "North Slope" (which is more central and closer to express train lines to Manhattan such as the Q and 2/3).

Our Favorite (Vegetarian) Food

While the healthy vegetarian options were not plentiful and a lot of the restaurants are aggressively mediocre compared to Manhattan fare, there were still some places we really enjoyed eating in the neighborhood. These were some of our favorite sit-down spots in/near South Slope, with the caveat that none of them had great veg protein so we only at there as exceptions to our regular routine:

Lore - One of the most upscale places in the neighborhood, and known for its Indian fusion and other "culturally diverse" dishes. For us, this was the best Indian food in the neighborhood (not that there was much competition) and generally really delicious. A reservation is typically needed for dinner, but walk-ins seem possible for brunch/lunch. Closed Mondays.

Pasta Louise - While I generally avoid pasta places for dinner given the heavy carb/low vegetarian protein ratio and tendency towards mediocrity, Pasta Louise's food is actually delicious. We loved the farro salad and many of the vegetarian pastas. The vibe is also very friendly and wholesome, and there are often families with kids. Wait times are generally long if you don't have a reservation.

Haenyo - Korean food. There's only one vegetarian entree - the tofu bibimbap - but it's excellent! Good to make a reservation here, though we were able to walk in on a weekend for dinner once (with a ~20 min wait).

Crosta - More Italian food. While there's no vegetarian protein to be found here, I enjoyed everything I tried, especially the vegetarian lasagna and also the salad and pizzas.

Krupa Grocery - Also in Windsor Terrace, the fake (vegetarian) chicken dish and gnocchi are pretty tasty here. This restaurant doesn't hold a candle to our favorites in Manhattan, but for days that we didn't want to leave the neighborhood, it was a good option for us. We really liked the cute backyard full of picnic tables and string lights.

Bonus: We didn't often venture into North Slope, but we did really enjoyed eating at Fausto there. Not a lot of vegetarian protein but the food was delicious.

We sometimes found better vegetarian protein options at the fast casual places in the neighborhood, including our favorites:

Two Boots - This is the best vegan pizza we know. We love the V for Vegan slice. It's not high in protein, but a delicious treat. Park Slope lifers probably hate it because it's a chain, but hey, it's good! For another pizza place, Norm's Pizza was also pretty good (though not vegan) - I liked their signature vodka sauce pizza.

Taim - Also a chain, and a great spot for make-your-own Mediterranean bowls. Better than Cava, in my opinion (not that there's a Cava in the neighborhood). The falafel comes with some protein and you can also add boiled eggs for some more.

Just Salad - Another chain. Because sadly Park Slope doesn't have many healthy vegetarian options that aren't chains. The salads here are actually quite delicious and you can add tofu to any of them, so this is obviously a winner for us.

Electric Beets - Small business with a bunch of all-vegetarian (vegan?) takeaway foods such as burritos with tofu, vegetarian lasagna, noodles, etc. The food was generally pretty good and we really liked that they had vegetarian protein in several dishes. The owner is also very friendly.

Hanco's - Vietnamese food. The tofu banh me is pretty good, as are the glass noodles with tofu. Think they also do have a few locations in NYC, though I don't really think of it as a chain.

Syko - Syrian/Korean fusion in neighboring Windsor Terrace. Featured in The New Yorker while we lived in the area. We liked the Fatboy, a massive scallion pancake sandwich that left us both with a food hangover after sharing one between us. Unfortunately, we didn't see this on the menu recently.

Sandwich Girl Cafe - We liked the breakfast burrito. Not the best breakfast burrito we've ever had, but definitely the best we've had in Park Slope.

Candidly, there were lots of places we tried in the neighborhood that were very disappointing in terms of the food taste. These included places that people love to love, like Miriam (Mediterranean food) and Masalawala (very spicy Indian food), and places that we'd never heard of but popped in to try. There were some places that were decent but not great, especially relative to their high prices, like Couleur Cafe. And there were places where the menus looked so unappealing for vegetarians that we never bothered to try them. So once we discovered the places we liked, we largely stuck to them.

Cafes, Bakeries, Dessert

Park Slope has tons and tons of cafes, bakeries, and dessert shops. It makes for a more European vibe. Some of my favorites were Culture (for frozen yogurt in the summertime, and yes it's a chain), Variety Coffee Roasters (good chai latte, has quite a lot of seating although often full, and you guessed it...a chain), Muse Cafe (mediocre food/drink tbh, but plenty of seating and always seemed to have seats available), and Techne Cafe (delicious croissants and drinks). The area is also known for Winner, a bakery that releases specific types of breads/baked goods at certain hours throughout the day (and attracts long lines for them). Given I'm not big on carbs this wasn't a favorite for me, and their challah was pretty mediocre, but people love to love Winner. There are many, many more cafes and bakeries in the neighborhood and I'm sure lots of them have tasty treats.

Notably, it was hard to find a decent bagel in the area, although Bagel Pub (...a chain) was generally pretty good. Ironically, we like Brooklyn Bagel, which is located in NoHo (Manhattan), better than anything we tried in Park Slope.

Things to Do

This is the kind of neighborhood that is a great place to live in relative peace. It's less about attractions or things to do in the way that Manhattan, or even some other neighborhoods of Brooklyn, are. So when it comes to things to do, at least for DINKs like us, there was not a lot. We really enjoyed walking and jogging in Prospect Park, which felt like a true getaway from the city. Walking around Greenwood Cemetery was also quite pretty. I enjoyed some of the local bookshops, like The Ripped Bodice (women-focused bookshop, only one other location in Los Angeles) and Powerhouse on 8th (independent bookstore).

Otherwise, finding things to do was more about getting out of the neighborhood - whether to head to other parts of Brooklyn for the gorgeous Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, the (IMO, mediocre) Brooklyn Museum, or a (usually avant garde) show at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, or to head into Manhattan for world-class museums, shows, and food.

Park Slope does seem to have quite a few places that offer activities for kids - pottery studio, art classes, music classes, etc. There is also a Nitehawk Cinema right across from Prospect Park (I don't watch a lot of movies and never visited).

Ultimately, we enjoyed our time living in Park Slope and were also glad to leave the decrepitude of our housing situation and the long commute in to work.

The Location is Great, but the Amenities are Even Better

If anyone is in the market for a fantastic place to live in NYC, the new luxury condos at Baccarat Hotel & Residences are worth checking out.

The building at 20 W. 53 St. is close to Rockefeller Center to the south and Central Park to the north. Getting around Manhattan from the Baccarat is easy thanks to its proximity to subway stations.

The 50-story building has 61 residential units that all enjoy lots of hotel amenities and services accessible from a touch-screen in each unit or from a mobile device.

Amenities include

Housekeeping

Child care

Personal shopping

Pet care

Floral delivery

Lots Of Room

A one-bedroom condo at Baccarat has 1,167 square feet, and five-bedroom unit has 7,381 square feet. There are plenty of sizes in between. All units have a chandelier in the entryway, says Candace Taylor of The Wall Street Journal.

With the spa, restaurant, pool, fitness facility and personal training, residents may never leave the Baccarat, except to walk across the street to visit the Museum of Modern Art. Of course, there is plenty of high-end shopping to be done on Madison Avenue and 5th Avenue. Who needs a car, when the stores are only blocks away?

If residents do in fact have cars, there is on-site parking at the Baccarat.

Chevalier Restaurant

The French restaurant boasts celebrity corporate chef Shea Gallante. But the atmosphere and interior design make the venue memorable even beyond the food.

Residents of the Baccarat enjoy room service in addition to the convenient location of the restaurant.

Breakfast Reading

If the restaurant is too much of a scene for residents, The Grand Salon on the second floor offers breakfast, afternoon cocktails and a library.

After 4 p.m., residents can enter the exclusive Petit Salon, which features a cognac bar and music played on a vintage gramophone.

Buyers' Market

Nowadays, luxury units in NYC average 345 days on the market, according to The Real Deal. Now, is the time to buy, while prices are low. The Baccarat has amenities and a location other properties cannot beat. The Baccarat full-floor units are a much better deal than those in other boroughs.

Yes, Jim Carrey's old clock tower unit remains vacant and has no spa or pool in the building, and it's still not in Manhattan. He should have bought one of the new luxury condos in the Baccarat. If one is paying for a luxury condo, more than a nice view should be expected.  

Resource Box

The Baccarat Hotel & Residences is in Midtown Manhattan at the center of the action and offers some of the best new luxury condos in NYC. To find out more about the units, check out the Baccarat website.

The Best Neighborhoods in Brooklyn

Brooklyn is one of the most vibrant, diverse and exciting cities in the United States. While it's not as well known as some of its more famous neighboring boroughs (Manhattan, Queens), Brooklyn has a lot to offer tourists and residents alike. From neighborhoods packed with restaurants and shops to others that are more residential in nature, there's something here for everyone who loves exploring new places.

Hoyt - Schermerhorn Streets

Hoyt - Schermerhorn Streets is a great place to live if you want to be close to the action, but not in the middle of it. It's also a good choice for those who want easy access to Prospect Park and other points of interest.

Prospect Heights

Prospect Heights is home to many trendy shops and restaurants, making it a great neighborhood for young people. The neighborhood has become increasingly popular over the past few years, but Prospect Heights still has its share of affordable apartments. It's safe enough to live here without feeling like you're in danger at all times, although there are some parts of Prospect Heights that may be less safe than others if you're not careful--just like any other city or town! There are many parks in this part of Brooklyn...

The Cliffs at Gowanus

The Cliffs at Gowanus is a neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York. The area is known for its many restaurants and bars as well as its close proximity to Prospect Park.

What is the Cliffs at Gowanus?

The Cliffs at Gowanus is located along 3rd Avenue between Union Street and Carroll Street in Brooklyn, New York City. The neighborhood features stunning views of Manhattan's skyline from the top of its cliffside hillside location overlooking the Hudson River on one side and New York Harbor on another side with great views across Manhattan all around including sweeping views south towards lower Manhattan & Battery Park City area plus eastward towards Midtown & Downtown areas too!

Gowanus

The Gowanus neighborhood is located in the New York City borough of Brooklyn and is named after the Gowanus Creek, which flows through it. The area was originally a Dutch farming community, but became an industrial hub in the 19th century when its location near Manhattan made it convenient for shipping goods up and down the East Coast. Today, Gowanus is home to many artists and musicians who have been attracted by its low rents and proximity to Manhattan (about 15 minutes on foot or bike).

The neighborhood has also become known for its high concentration of hipster culture--there are many vintage clothing stores along Third Avenue here! If you're looking for something more traditional though, head over to nearby Cobble Hill where there's plenty more shopping options available including several upscale boutiques like Aesop Beauty Bar or Le Salon De Coiffure Parisienne & Spa where you can get your hair styled by trained professionals (and maybe even indulge with some cocktails afterward).

Boerum Hill

Boerum Hill is a great place to live, with its small town feel and rich history. It's also home to many artists and musicians. You'll find lots of restaurants, bars, music venues and other attractions in this neighborhood.

Brooklyn is a great place to live, and there are many neighborhoods to choose from. If you're looking for something quiet and family-friendly, we recommend Boerum Hill. If you want something more urban with lots of culture and nightlife options nearby, check out Gowanus or Prospect Heights. However, if affordability is important to you then maybe look into Hoyt-Schermerhorn Streets!

The Wall Street Grill is located at 59th Street and Broadway, NYC. It serves prime steaks and seafood in a fine dining setting. They also offer kosher cuisine. This restaurant also features a hip rooftop atrium.

Kosher cuisine

There is a large Jewish population living outside of Israel. That's why New York City has a lot of kosher restaurants, primarily located in Midtown and Uptown. In addition to this, there are a number of kosher Chinese restaurants as well.

Kosher restaurants usually serve a variety of seafood and meat-centric dishes. The restaurant also has an excellent wine menu.

Another restaurant in the area is FiDi, which is one of the most popular kosher restaurants in the city. This place is popular for its sushi, but it also serves a wide variety of other foods. Its menu includes a few dishes that are pareve, such as smoked whitefish salad and herring.

Izzy's BBQ is another kosher smokehouse. The brisket is smoked for up to 18 hours, which gives it an excellent flavor. Other items on the menu include a classic burnt ends and smoked fried chicken.

Barnea Bistro is a great place to go for a casual dinner. They serve a range of appetizers, mains, and desserts. Aside from their pizzas, they also serve classic pasta dishes. You can order a stuffed paratha if you are feeling peckish.

Another steakhouse in the area is Le Marais. Their menu features pan-roasted salmon and steaks, but it excludes pork and dairy products. Despite its small menu, the restaurant is known for its great service.

Basil is another popular kosher restaurant. It has a nice wine menu and great decor. It has a roof garden with a street musician. Unlike most kosher restaurants in the city, they have an industrial-chic bar in the lobby.

While not a huge menu, Alenbi is a fun place to try a variety of kosher Israeli dishes. You can order a few different sandwiches, including kruvit, harissa, and pita. Or you can choose a stuffed paratha with potato or onion. If you're feeling splurgy, you can opt for an eggplant baladi.

Finally, there are a few kosher pizza shops in the city. Some of them serve Middle Eastern foods, while others are vegetarian. Most of these places have fairly limited menus, but they offer high-quality ingredients.

Fine dining setting with a hip rooftop atrium

The best way to make a splash on your next trip to Vegas is to book yourself a table at one of the city's many fine dining establishments. The top of the food chain is the upscale Jean Georges. Located on the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and the fabled Bund, the restaurant is a notch above the rest of the strip. From the moment you step inside, you'll be pampered by an award winning staff and a menu that boasts of nods to local fare, and a slew of classic French cuisine. You'll also find a fine selection of wines, brews and beers, a smattering of sushi, and a small but enviable bar.
