**Local Places Loved by New Yorkers:**

- Pierogi Tribeca, better than any Szechuan.
- For a quick brunch try Imano Pizza at Landmark West. Best Caesar Salad.
- One of the finest streets, unlike Manhattan, is Avenue C in East Village.
- White Gold Butchers in Cobble Hill. Decent coffee, with a vintage-like touch for evening maven evenings.
- There's age old Russo, and especially visit the Orange Blossom down the street, for a drink.
- The River Café @ Dumbo Heights is a must-have for the climate.
- A position enhanced the Cafe's Empire State's sitting sites.
- Heirlane Albany serving in the Bowery. I love eating Chicken Parts on a bed of Creamy Quatrehommes.

I hope you have a great trip to New York during the holidays!
