One of my favorite music spots in Manhattan. I frequent there often to checkout new releases, and their decent sized collection of used CDs for sale. Employees are typically informative, and willing to help with any inquires you may have. Other Music definitely is a favorite spot of mine.
I'm a huge fan of the Vietnamese dish, Pho. They have a great variety of the dish, and I tend to try a different style each time I'm in there. The quality of the dish is very standard, but at their price beggars can't be choosers, that's for sure. The employees are very sincere, and try to get you whatever you'd like in a fashionable, and timely manner.
A very standard issue pizza buffet. Lots of thin crust style pizzas with a variety of enjoyable toppings. As you could imagine, not all of them are top notch, but if you're ever in the mood to eat lots of pizza for a decent rate this is the place for you to go.
So the first time I visited this play I found it absolutely enjoyable. Very quiet, employees very eager to wait on you, and lots of tasty food. I found the sushi tables the most enjoyable part of my first time there. Now the second time I went there was a completely different story. After the first plate the food was not sitting right, and I felt completely unsettled. Still not quite sure what might have done it, but it may have been sushi gone wrong. All-in-all this is a very decent buffet with very accommodating employees. A venture I would take every so often. If you're ever in the mood for a nice, calm evening and want to enjoy Asian cuisine I suggest you checkout this spot.
I went recently for a Make a Wish sponsored dinner, and I have to say I absolutely loved it. The family dinner might seem a little deterring, but after you see the size of the platters you might change your mind. In my opinion the pasta platters seem to be the most enjoyable, and their Alfredo sauce is the epitome of all Alfredo sauces. The service was amazing when I went their after the day ended I felt like I knew our waiter on a personal level, he actually seemed like part of the family which is probably the image they try to portray to their customers. The desserts were also amazing, I especially adored the cheesecake that is also and original recipe of Maggianos. The price is pretty high, but honestly I think you get what you pay for in food, in service, and atmosphere with Frank Sinatra playing almost endlessly but I didn't seem to mind. If you ever get the chance I suggest you try out this slice of Little Italy.
Now for some good pizza below Manhattan, Bertucci's is probably one of the few places you can go to get the satisfaction of a NYC pizzeria. All the pizzas are brick oven cooked, now while this takes longer to cook than other pizzas its totally worth it. You get the distinct taste plus the Bertucci's distinct recipe. The help was really good and very informative, when I went the person gave a brief history lesson on the restaurant and its beginnings. Which was actually cool and not at all annoying. The food was definitely top notch. The reason I'm giving it a four is because the pizzas, while terrific, were very sloppy and everything ended up falling to the plate on a few slices. But all in all it was a terrific brick oven pizzeria experience.

This place was excellent. Very classy and very modern. The help was terrific they were very professional and very welcoming and assisted you with any dispute or problems you had. The seats were very comfortable and the arrangement of the seats make it perfect for a person of almost any height. The tickets are priced excellently nothing too high, and nothing low just centered. Excellent sound system and standard lighting technique and visuals. The color scheme and the environment of the Symphony Space make almost any show seem like an intimate session. If ever deciding on whether you should attend a show here or not I give it a very pleasant two thumbs up I really enjoyed this place.

Let me just say this place was chalk full of Heroes stuff when I went which is a good thing. The whole store was pretty awesome they had a decent amount of merchandise from each of their shows (but no Scrubs stuff when I went) but other than that little cringe-worthy fault the store was definitely a good place to go for any official merchandise on any of your favorite NBC shows. The bulk of their stuff is The Office and Heroes just to tell you.

Kind of a cool place to hang out for an hour or two. They have a lounge sort of thing where you can play some of the newest games to come out. Actually a funny story the first time I ever beat my friend at Super Smash Bros. Melee was at this place and he was usually a hundred times superior to me. They did change their format from a few years ago when it was a Pokemon specific place. It was cool then, but now that they offer so much more to do with a variety of games to play it's actually not a bad place at all. For some reason I adore the architecture of the building I find it sort of charming in a futuristic sort of way, very cool. They also sell games there is no real deals here everything usually sells for the usual game price, but sometimes you get some extra stuff with your purchase for free which is always cool. Check it out!

Definitely one of my favorite NYC hot spots. I really enjoy coming and hanging out here whenever I get the chance. There is something just so pure about it, and I feel like it embodies the meaning of the city in a way. Also during the summer NBC throws some cool concerts in the center which are always fun to go watch even though you might end up watching the back of the performers heads (coldplay). But if you ever get the chance just go over and hang out in the center and just take it all in. It's really incredible!
