Down at the unfashionable end of Grand Ave in the East Williamsburg area, Grand Central is a bit of a divy place, but the drinks are cheap and the ambience is nice. They have pool table, couches, and a back area for smoking, so it's a great place to chill the night away

The $2 falafal helped get me through college. It's delicious, and the fact that they're open until around 3AM helps. Mamoun's is a tiny little closet of a restaurant that always has a line out the door, but the line goes quickly. The falafal is the favorite here, but I've heard good things about the schwarma as well.

Stain Bar serves coffee and sandwiches during the day, and beer and wine by night. The setup looks similar to Central Perk (Friends), and there's free wi-fi. It's open very early to very late, and the manager/former ad exec has great advertisements up all over the walls.

Tiny cafe shoved next to Dumont on Union Ave, across the street from Kellogs Diner, it's very easy to miss. However, having gone there for lunch today, they make excellent sandwiches and havea wide coffee bar selection. Alos offer free wifi and have a computer there for you to use.

Around the corner from expensive Soho clothing boutiques, almost hidden, is the Housing Works used book store and cafe. Decent selection, and ridiculously cheap prices. They have stacks of 50 cent or $1.00 books that far outdoes anything that The Strand discount stacks offer. They also have couches and a coffee bar, inviting you to spend an afternoon there. Workers are friendly, and all books are donated, and all proceeds go to help homeless men and women with HIV/AIDS.

It's on the border of the LES and Chinatown, underneath a bakery, and often hard to find, as the block its on is completely dead. It's totally worth it. The food is amazing (I recommend the pumpkin ravioli), the wine list is great, and it's very romantic. Good for a splurge night

Tucked away in a corner of the West Village is one of the best burger places in New York. Huge burgers, great fries, ridiculously cheap beer, and it's open until very late at night for those post-party munchies. It can get pretty crowded from 7-11, so be prepared to wait in line for a table, but remember you can always eat at the bar if you get too hungry.

This is where all the professional video/film/photography people go to get their equipment, so they must know something. They have absolutely everything in stock, and if they don't have it, they'll find somewhere else in the city that does. Little confusing to manuever around, as the store is enormous, but totally worth it Open every day but Saturday, and closes early on Friday.

All of the waiters wear Cossack uniforms, and every room is jeweled and decorated in a different, beautiful way, and Firebird is absolutely worth the trip. It's defiitely on the pricey side, but their homemade, honey-infused vodka is worth the cost ($10 a glass).

It's not amazing, but for those considering SuperCuts or Jean David haircuts, it's time to start looking outside the major chains. Chinatown is a untapped wealth of discount services, and this hair salon is a prime example. Stylists all speak English, and they give you the full shampoo, cut and blow-dry for the huge total of $18. Coloring costs a little more, but the owner makes and blends her own hair dyes. The cuts are good, fast, and extremely cheap. Do not be put off by the heart of Chinatown-locale or the strange looks some customers might give you if you're not Asian, these women know what they're doing, can communicate with you fine, and they will give you a great cut for your dollar. Also, if Amy's is busy, the entire block is full of cheap hair salons, others of which I've heard good things about as well.
