New York City Guide with Sheena Golani
Sheena Golani shares her New York city guide, a journey of travel, food, and experiences.
SIP
Sip & Guzzle
A refined Japanese cocktail house that does precision with personality. Order the Japanese Highball or a Yuzu Margarita.
The Nines
Piano, martinis, and just the right amount of uptown drama. Go for a Dirty Martini or an Espresso Martini.
Double Chicken Please
Where cocktails feel like tasting menus and reservations are essential. The Key Lime Pie Cocktail is a must, alongside the Japanese Cold Noodle.
Obvio
Low lighting, sharp drinks, and an in-the-know crowd. Try a Mezcal Cocktail or a Spicy Margarita.
Saint Tuesday
A discreet speakeasy moment for when the night needs mystery. Order the Espresso Martini or a seasonal clarified cocktail.
Bar Pisellino
An Italian café ritual that moves seamlessly from espresso to aperitivo. A Negroni or Americano never disappoints.
Public Hotel Rooftop
Sunset glamour with skyline views. A Lychee Martini or Champagne at golden hour is the move.
Schmuck
Inventive cocktails with unmistakable downtown confidence. Ask for an off-menu cocktail based on your mood.
Sorate
For beautifully brewed coffee and matcha served with Japanese restraint and calm. Order the ceremonial matcha or matcha soft serve.
Rhythm Zero
A sleek, design-forward coffee pause. Go for a single-origin pour over or oat milk flat white.
Smiley Coffee
A tiny neighbourhood gem that feels like your own secret. An iced latte or seasonal specialty is perfect.
La Cabra
Scandinavian simplicity and some of the city’s most considered brews. Cappuccino with a cardamom bun is essential.
SAVOUR
Bond St
Downtown sushi sophistication that’s always a safe bet. Order the tuna tarts, tuna crispy rice, miso black cod, or a full sushi spread.
Bangkok Supper Club
Polished Thai with just enough scene. The crab fried rice and whole branzino shine, paired with a Thai milk tea cocktail.
Via Carota
Effortless Italian charm that defines West Village dining. Cacio e Pepe and the Insalata Verde are classics.
L’Industrie Pizza
The slice everyone talks about, and for good reason. Pepperoni or spicy salami are the go-tos.
Chinese Tuxedo
Dramatic interiors and refined Cantonese. Order the hamachi crudo, crispy eggplant, Peking duck, and shrimp dumplings.
Tonchin
Elevated ramen with Tokyo-level precision. Tokyo Tonkotsu Ramen, fish bao, and matcha shaved ice are standouts.
Birds of a Feather
Vibrant Sichuan flavours in a stylish Brooklyn setting. The mapo tofu, dan dan noodles, and pork dumplings in chili oil are musts.
Thai Diner Brunch
A Nolita institution where brunch is a ritual. Thai tea babka French toast, khao soi, and disco fries are cult favourites.
Kyma
A glossy Greek escape made for celebratory dinners. Grilled octopus, whole fish, and lemon potatoes are essentials.
SEE
The Frick
Art in its most intimate and elegant setting.
The Met
A cultural cornerstone you return to season after season.
Jazz Night at Smalls Jazz Club
A late-night classic for live jazz purists.
Comedy Cellar Late Shows
Where the sharpest comics quietly refine their craft.
Public Records
A Brooklyn space where music, culture, and taste intersect.
Domino Park Sunset
Golden-hour skyline views that never get old.
The Edge
Best experienced at golden hour or during DJ nights.
Dumbo House
Sunset terrace drinks with a postcard-perfect backdrop.
Brooklyn Museum and Brooklyn Botanic Garden
Especially magical during cherry blossom season in spring.
