Best indian in the village. Slightly more expensive than some of the neighboring spots, but non of them are as delicious as this place. Get the Chicken Tikka Masala and you won't regret it.

Looking for a quick bite for cheap. Stop by this Indian burrito spot. It's basically all you're favorite indian dishes, but they roll it up in an insanely delicious flat doughy bread. They're a bit small so get 2 atleast.

If you're looking for a speakeasy dance bar. Then look no further than the Blind Barber, just a few blocks away. It's hidden in the back of an old school barber shop. Get there a lil early on weekend evenings or else it can be hard to get in.

One of NYC's most iconic speakeasys is just a block away! The secret bar is hidden behind a phone booth inside a hotdog shop called Crif Dogs. It's recommended to call them earlier in the day to make a reservation to make getting in easier. But you can always take your chance of just showing up. It does get busier after 10pm.

This low key Jazz bar is one of my favorite spots. Very casual and no cover. Just go in grab a drink at the bar and watch some great live jazz. Most of the musicians are just people who come in with their own instruments and jam.
