This and "The Roasting Plant" are my favorite coffee places in the Lower East Side. It's a small little whole in the wall, but the staff is super friendly and the Swedish coffee is great.

This is the most famous jewish deli in Manhattan. Sandwiches are pricey, but large and delicious. You HAVE to get the corned beef or pastrami (they'll let you try a bit of both).

By far the best "real" Mexican I've had in the city. The owners are Mexican and came from Los Angeles - so you know it's legit. Don't go anywhere else for tacos (Snack Dragon, Mission Cantina, etc)!

It's a bit of a walk, but it's a cool experience - you see them roasting the beans right in from of you. When you order, the beans shoot up over your head, into a grinder, for a fresh cup of coffee.

This is a great Greek spot. The pitas are pretty small, so it's best to order two. I get the Chicken SGR Pita - which comes with a spicy feta sauce. They also have a bunch of flavors of humus.

This is my laundry spot... nothing fancy. I usually just walk to the counter, drop off my clothes in the AM, and pick them up after 6pm. It's $1.00/pound for their wash and fold service.

I love Pianos for many reasons. The front is great for hanging out, the back always has great live music, and the upstairs is usually a fun DJ / dance party. They actually have decent food too!
