Tulcingo Del Valle
As a native Texan, I am always on the hunt for wonderful tortillas. I am very pleased to proclaim this gem on 10th Avenue as not only really excellent authentic Mexican food, but also, and more importantly, homemade tortillas and salsas. Get the lengua and barbacoa! Shout out to Irma xo

Miss Nellie's
A place where I can get a drink, celebrate with friends and also take a beautiful picture because the decoration is a 10/10? Definitely Miss Nellie’s. It quickly became one of my favorite spots. It’s warm, cozy, a little fancy, and the food and drinks are great quality. I actually found out about it because a Pilates client of mine from Hell’s Kitchen works there and told me it was a must. After going, I kept wondering why I hadn’t discovered it sooner.

Big Apple Meat Market
I love to cook, and when I crave making ox tail or lamb neck stew, this is where I go. They stock cuts you won’t find in the more curated parts of Manhattan, along with produce that still assumes people actually cook. It is also remarkably affordable. I love walking into their meat refrigerated chamber.
I admit to visiting the store with ulterior motives in the very hot summer months just to be able to walk into the refrigerated meat chamber. During a heat wave, it amounts to finding heaven, (only to be sent back to hell).

Clinton Community Garden
In 1978, a group of neighbors on W48th Street looked at a lot that had been a garbage heap for 28 years and decided to build something better. When the city moved to auction the land out from under them in the early 1980s, they fought back. They formed the Committee to Save Clinton Community Garden, ran a “Square Inch Campaign” selling pieces of the garden for five dollars apiece, and in 1984 made it the first community garden in New York City protected as permanent parkland.
