Small and cozy japanese restaurant. The small plates are great -- home-style, so no sushi here! Great vibe, friendly bartender/cook... sometimes full of loud and friendly japanese crowd.

Venezualan arepa (corn-patty sandwich) place. The food here is great, I just wish it weren't so crowded all the time! One of the best places for quick lunch in the neighborhood.

Drinks & Nightlife

Awesome selection of whiskeys, whiskys, and beer! Love the vibe on a cold mid-winter day: just you, the bartertender, a few other lost souls, and country music to warm your heart.

Sightseeing

Take tours at this LES museum to see 19th century immigrants lived in a building almost identical to ours. These history lessons give a very necessary perspective on life in NYC.
