Grove Street & Bedford Street
Stroll the most picturesque streets in NYC — brownstones, tree-lined sidewalks, and the famous 'Friends' apartment building at 90 Bedford. Magic at dusk.

Via Carota
5 min walk. Rustic Italian beloved by locals and celebrities alike. The carciofi fritti and insalata verde are legendary. No reservations — worth every minute of the wait.

Buvette
2 min walk. Tiny, candlelit French gastrotheque. Share a chocolate mousse and a glass of wine at the marble bar. Feels like Paris.

Little Branch
5 min walk. Sasha Petraske's underground cocktail bar — no sign, just a metal door. Classic cocktails made perfectly in a cosy basement. Ring the bell.
