For dancing in legal venues, the Biltmore and Astoria are my picks. I’m very excited about the reopening of the Waldorf, too. For drinking (again legal venues), I’m not much of a drinker but I love the Brickhouse, The Keefer, Falconetti‘s new roof patio and The Narrow.

 

My food picks are Nuba, Les Faux Bourgeois, Bao Bei and Havana. My coffee shop picks (though I’m allergic to caffeine, I still buy decaf on occasion) are Prado, Our Town, Gene, Uprising Breads and Panther Decor (a.k.a. Guru a.k.a. the Prophouse Cafe). And for dessert, I go with Dolce Amore, Sweet Revenge Patisserie and Calhoun’s (for old times sake).
