Think warm walls and dim lighting and New Yorkers huddled over their laptops or newspapers. Counter seats and scrabble boards. Deep conversations and quirky catch-ups. A place for first time lovers and procrastinated students. Warm coffee and delicious desserts. Save your best visits for those rainy days.

I am a huge fan of Beard Papa's cream puffs- they're light and fluffy, and the cream inside- cold, sweet, and almost too delicious to believe. The place is very trend, full of wild, bright colors, and while the prices can be a bit high (though the salads here are average-priced I think), the food is absolutely delicious, and the service is wonderful. The only downside is the location. It's not exactly located at a scenic area of Manhattan; the street outside is busy and hectic; not the ideal spot for lunch. But go for the food!

Pearl Paint restores my faith in life. There's just such a crazy, ridiculous selection of EVERYTHING in this place: paint, canvas, colored pencils, sketchbooks, pens, paper, pastels, etc., etc., etc. Every art item has at least five different brands in a million different colors and with at least five different sizes to choose from. And also, excellent prices! You just can't beat it.

There's probably nothing left to say about the Met that hasn't already been said. It's HUGE, it's beautiful, it's amazing, and for anyone who hasn't gone yet, words just don't do it justice- you...
There's probably nothing left to say about the Met that hasn't already been said. It's HUGE, it's beautiful, it's amazing, and for anyone who hasn't gone yet, words just don't do it justice- you kind of have to go and see for yourself.
The Met is one of THE landmarks of New York City and it's free (suggested prices...but who actually pays?). It's my escape.

Forbidden Planet is the Sci-Fi/fantasy fan as they have loads of nerdy items: Buffy dolls, funky tees, lots of comics, Lord of the Rings collectibles, plastic batmobiles, etc. etc. It is one of the premiere sci-fi shops in NYC and the people who work her knows everything you could ever want to know about Spiderman.

I feel like I'm in Willy Wonka's chocolate factory everytime I'm here- they carry every kind of candy imaginable in all sorts of shapes/flavors/colors- makes me weak. But Dylan's is also a massive tourist attraction site and it can get incredibly crowded. Yet it's a great place to get something sweet for a lover, a friend, or for yourself :) Neat packing.

I love stopping by here for a snack- croissants, cookies, cake. Fresh, warm, sweet, unhealthy, but oh so yummy. Can be more expensive than other bakeries, but I like their shiny floors and tables...
I love stopping by here for a snack- croissants, cookies, cake. Fresh, warm, sweet, unhealthy, but oh so yummy. Can be more expensive than other bakeries, but I like their shiny floors and tables and chairs. The service is always great and the atmosphere is good for reading and/or chatting with friends.

Right next to the ESPRIT in the seaport mall, this Bath and Body Works is a neat little shop with a great selection of soaps, lotions, fragrance products, cosmetics, and BEES WAX lip gloss (my favorite lip product in the universe, leaves you feeling minty and fresh). I love coming here because it feels like I'm walking into a field of daisies.

Strand's has become such a deep part of new york city culture...you just can't deny it's magnificentness. New books for cheap. Ridiculous selections of art, film, and photography books. AND amusing titles from the $1 racks. So laid back, so utterly cool, Strand's is what a bookstore is meant to be.
Strand accessories (pencils, tote bag, shirt, etc.) are neat.

1. It is expensive. Cds range from $13.99 - $17.99. Ouch.
2. They play bad music when I am trying to find things amidst a plethora of Barbara Streisand posters.
3. The store gives me the heebie jeebies because things are organized in a strange, zig-zaggy way.
4. The video collection sucks.
And five:
The cashiers are always giving me a bad attitude. Like they stare at me funny and smirk. They also thrust the plastic bag at me once. No kidding.
