Jana has some of the best prices on waxing in the city, calling itself a spa though, really is stretching it. Jana is small, not soothing and meets but doesn't exceed minimum spa cleanliness standards. They also live up to any horrible stereotype of of mean Eatern European women ripping out all your body hair you can think of. Aside from teh prices, they are also easy to get an appointment with and will do full Brazillian and similar "extreme" bikini waxes.

While I find Sambuca to be a middle class idea of a nice restaurant (pleasant, nice, good service, but with little character or innovation), they offer a fantastic gluten-free menu that includes pastas, appetizers, meat dishes and a desert! And despite serving most dishes "family style" (meant to serve 2 - 3 people),you can order individual portions off of the gluten-free menu. Awesome!

A lovely museum in one of New York's great old mansions, the Cooper-hewitt focuses largely on industrial design. I've seen exhibits there on teh evolution of the keyboard as well as the telephone. If you like the beauty of every day objects and blieves the folks at Apple are artists this is the museum for you. Even if that's not your scene, you should absolutely check it out for the gorgeousnes of the building. They've retained enough of the original innards of the mansion (and carpets that run very properly only down the center of stairs) that you can easily imagine how life once was here.

Elaine's is a noisy Upper East Side restaurant and bar (more bar, although the food is decent) that has the same vibe as the nearby Dorrian's while being less infamous (Dorrian's was the location where "the preppy murder" case of the 80s began). Still, if you have a hankering for loud, drunk yuppies, or are one yourself and want a burger to go with your appalling midori-based cocktails and beers, this is the place for you. The rest of us just groan at its existence.

I studied dance here for many years in their old facility (which had a charm the new one can't equal, but the new one is much, much better). The training is excellent and thorough, but not well-suited to other dance styles. Those pursuing other dance work should even be careful about studying here -- Graham work is difficult on the body in extremely specific ways. That said, it's fantastic for developing theatrical expression (especially darker, more dramatic elements), and for strengthening your core and arms.
Graham's work has periodically risked dying out since her death because of schisms within the company and the rather historical nature of how (and what type of) meaning is conveyed through her dance. But it's a critical piece of dance and modern American cultural history.

Maryann's is a perfectly good Mexican restaurant. And while there's nothing stellar about it, I can report that their salsa and guacamole both seem to be made fresh, and as a celiac sufferer, I did not suffer any gluten contamination in eating there (fajitas without the wheat wraps, guac, salsa, sour cream chips). The place is casual and fun with great drink specials.

While Viceroy is not a gluten-free restaurant, nor does it even have a specifically gluten-free menu, it's one of the few places I am always able to eat without getting ill. Very few menu items contain gluten, and, more importantly, one of their waiters is allergic to gluten -- so I've always gotten complete, accurate and POLITE answers on what is and isn't safe for me to eat there. Do be aware that some dishes are garnished with a breadstick, so be sure to tell your waiter about your gluten sensitivity. They're really great about it.

Fantastic french fries with over a dozen dips to choose from. While certain dips aren't gluten-free (like malt vingar), the fries are totally safe as nothing is every fried in the oil other than the fries. Many, but not all of the dips are also gluten free. Just ask, the staff is usually knowledgeable on this one.. Fries come in small and large cones (and even the small is pretty big). Fun for strolling with in the summer.

This is the broker we used for my current apartment. They have both fee and no-fee places (the no-fee ones are more cramped and in less nice buildings) and a ton of stuff in Harlem and Spanish Harlem in general, largely in rennovated buildings. That staff isn't pushy (although they do emphasize the urgency of getting on top of a place you want in the NYC market), and the requirements for a guaranteur are a bit on the high side. But they have good places at good prices and are nice, which is more than I can say for most brokers.

Citarella is a fantastic gourmet store, especially when it comes to meat and fish 9their beef and veal are both amazing). As far as packaged good go, they have lots of European things like crumpets and Italian sodas. The produce section is thorough, but not spectacular and the frozen goods are really nice, especially when it comes to ice cream. It's pricey, but not absurdly so. You certainly get what you pay for. It's a very nice easy shopping experience too.
