Hell’s Kitchen Local

I discovered swimming when my legs told me to stop running. I’ve enjoyed this gym for many years now.

Small but mighty. A great selection and very knowledgeable staff. Great recommendations for both drinking and cooking.

Great for a quick sugar fix or bringing a party dessert and they always have a few gluten free options for my oldest son.

I love the smell of pies and cakes baking as it swirls through the air when I walk by. Since switching to a whole-food, plant-based lifestyle, I don’t stop in as often as I used to — but when I want to treat myself, I indulge in their raisin bran muffins.

I always go to VIV when I’m in the mood for Thai food. The vibe here is just so great!

Great place for quick dim sum, especially when the outdoor seating is available. The dishes come out fast and fresh, and if I ever get a craving, this is the first place I think of for a satisfying bite.

Peter, my favorite guy, gives the most relaxing foot and leg massages.

I love the square-sliced pizzas from Claudio’s. They’re crispy, cheesy, and hit the spot every single time. Plus, they stay open late, which makes them one of my top go-to spots after a long day. Honestly, their pizza beats a lot of the more “famous” New York places.

This is actually my favorite Thai restaurant in the entire city. I always bring friends here when they visit just so they can try the crab curry — it’s that good. Every dish feels like it’s made with care, and it never disappoints.

Sometimes a wait, but well worth it!
