Best of NY for Locals

Valerie Brown: My home away from home. Order the chili rock shrimp, edamame dumplings, black cod, short rib and feast..dont miss the crying chocolate and FATE cocktail. Still heaven after 4 yrs

Valerie Brown: Test drive Pure Yoga with the fabulous 2pm class on sundays! Only $10

Valerie Brown: When you're not feeling italian try THE BEST CANNED SAUCE EVER! Cucina antica puttanesca sauce. When you're feeling Italian, the canned tomatoes are the best in the city for your personal marinara.

Valerie Brown: The best instructors are charles, jason and bridget. Heather is phenomenal for private pilates

Valerie Brown: I tend to hate the drinks here, such limited options..I mean no prosecco but the rooftop view picks up the slack for it. They've also picked up in events for members. Soho House LA is #winning however

Valerie Brown: The perfect gourmet quick bite with to-die-for brick oven pizza's which I have to admit is all I've tried yet. Phenomenal wine list but beware of no cell signal making it a quick escape - enjoy!

Valerie Brown: The Saks Fifth avenue salad is phenomenal. Feast on the phenomenal pretzel bread - a great escape in midtown on the 8th floor after you torture yourself walking past expensive unwalkable shoes!
