Amanda Lee: I love Jacob's Pickles so I was thrilled to enjoy their brunch menu while JP's is closed. The biscuit French toast and pull apart bread were delish. Get a jam jar too. Just do it.
Honghui Yu: Really great for brunch but be careful, the portions here are huge! Onelettes here are made from 6 eggs and can feed 2 easily. I also highly recommend the pull apart bread as something to share.
Landon Larsen: VERY Large portions. You can def share the French dip. And the buttery pull apart bread is awesome

History Museum · Lower East Side · 153 tips and reviews
Viv: Tours are quite expensive - they could combine several tours in the same amount of time (1 is 1 hr for only 2 family residences) as the apartment itself was quite interesting. Great bookshop though.
DailyCandy: Once home to nearly 7,000 working-class immigrants, the tenement apartment building-turned-museum re-creates immigrant life in the 19th and 20th centuries w/ insights into their personal experiences.
Ryan Ambs: Come here when you feel bad about your NYC apartment

Tristan Louis: Find the hidden Campbell Apartment and have drinks by the fireplace.
Zach Aarons: Classic drinks place. Once the office of a wealthy financier, workers who discovered it during a renovation thought it was an apartment because it had a shower. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more.
Lisa Mayer: Find the hidden Campbell Apartment through the entrance off Vanderbilt. Try the Prohibition Punch.
Joshua Hirsch: No scenes were filmed in NYC. Not even opening fountain scene. But they pan in on cornet of Bedford & Grove Streets to show apartment Monica's grandmother gave her. Ugly naked guy across the street
Rebecca Brown: Although Friends is based upon the lives of 6 friends living in Manhattan, most of the episodes were filmed within a studio in California. The exterior of this building represents Monica's Apartment.

Mike Hopkins: My favorite spot to sit and read - right across the street from my apartment!
L. T.: Lovely, quiet, and off the beaten path.
Erika Nonken: Check out the nearby Block House, an 1812 War fort and the oldest structure in the park. Good views over Harlem, and quiet.

Mari: This is really good improv where they just happen to be doing Shakespeare, drunk. The talented cast are super funny. You can drink through the whole thing.
Allie Caldwell: Absolutely hilarious. Not a bad seat in the house. Complimentary shot upon arrival. Those under 21, squeamish around alcohol or sexual innuendo, or who take themselves too seriously need not attend.

Katie Schloss: I bought the entire store while decorating my new apartment, and with some of the best brussel sprouts just downstairs at ABC Kitchen, there's really no reason to ever leave ABC.
Ms Helene: Luxurious and funky homewares. Visit before or after a meal at the adjoining Jean-Georges' ABC Kitchen. Don't forget the last chance/sale section downstairs.

Blake Olmstead: Judd not only created art—he lived it. Book in advance, this intimate tour and insight into a great artist's mind is well worth the wait.
naveen: A must to round out your knowledge of Donald Judd, of SoHo of years past. An incredibly beautiful, peaceful space. Do be sure to schedule your tour late afternoon; sunset makes the floors richer.
