I love my neighborhood coffee shop. Peruse the selection of magazines and interesting snacks, or order from the window if you're in a hurry. It's a lovely spot.

It may not look like much, but there's a crowd in this place all day long. Try a hot dog bun or one of the "sandwiches" for a cheap but delicious snack.

Arts & Culture
While contemporary art might not be everyone's bag, the New Museum is unique in its dedication to exhibiting living artists (a thing virtually unheard of at other institutions).
On the weekend, you can go up to the Sky Room for a selfie that is sure to break some personal records.
