I actually think this place is horrible but am still glad it's there (12-min walk). For those who don't know, Kmart = a crappy version of Walmart. So you can find (cheap) clothes, food, hardware, etc.

This is the closest Whole Foods, a 10-15 min walk. It's got plenty of space by NYC standards & (like all Whole Foods) has higher quality ingredients. This is where I do most of my grocery shopping.

Everything Else
Eco-friendly cleaners downstairs in the same building as the apt. They do both dry cleaning and wash & fold. I go there bc it's so convenient & the staff are great--a bit more expensive but worth it.

Another close, cheaper laundry option w/ better hours & a coin-op option, in addition to wash & fold + dry cleaning. Not as convenient as Pure Organic or quite the same level of service but solid.

Ok, as someone who grew up in the South & then went to university in Texas, I know a thing or two about BBQ, and this place has great brisket + pulled pork (even though those come from diff. regions).

Lovers of Today was one of my favorite cocktail spots in the City even before I lived here. Cocktails are great, and the atmosphere is pretty intimate. Great for dates, but not exclusively a date spot

One of NYC's most famous speakeasies, but it's well known now i.e. not that secret. There's a doorman outside. You'll put your name on his list and wait (they'll call you when your table's ready).

Ok, so there are a million bars to check out--these are just a few places. If you want to explore, I'd recommend looking on St. Marks Pl, or really anywhere in the EV.
This is a fun/shady dance club.
