You'd probably find a million coffee spots in the city to relax on a Sunday afternoon and Chelsea Coffee Company fits right into such a category. Nestled all the way over on 9th Avenue, you'll get the laid back vibe of the Chelsea area and definitely avoid the usual crowds of the city. There's more than enough selection of coffee and teas at your fingertips, and the staff (usually just a single person) is friendly. This certainly isn't the kinda place where you get your drink and run. You can actually stay a while and many regulars simply plop down with their laptops or newspapers and will be there long after their cup is empty. There's a very small area sit in outside and most of the area inside is dominated by everything you'll need to mix up a great cup of coffee.

If you don't already know about Koronet then now you know. This place has stood the test of time in the ever-changing landscape of the Columbia University makeover near 110st and Broadway, and for good reason. This spot is hands down one of the best pizzerias as you head uptown and for good reason. It is clearly a favorite among Columbia students and common folk alike and I have been going there since my teenage years. The main attraction is the jumbo slice, which will run you around $2.50. but is more than worth it, since you can either have the slices for yourself or split it in two for two regular slices. The staff is decent and you can eat in if you dont mind a constant stream of people coming in and out of the shop getting their pies and slices to go.

Silk Road has long been the spot for college kids in NY to sit, have a meal and just relax. I was turned on to this place when I was still in high school and go there from time time these days. It's sorta like tradition for my friends and I when we want to eat some decent Chinese and chat about old times. Depending on when you get there, the restaurant can be a cozy place, though the tables are grouped so tightly that it's like one big dinner party of strangers and you'll easily be in on someone else's conversation, so keep that in mind. On the weekends, this place is jammed with college types and the line is usually out of the door as far as a wait for a table. The staff is cool and have been there for the 10 or so years that I've eaten there. The food is not very memorable, but you'll get an endless supply of white wine (or soda) to drink throughout your meal.

As soon as you hop off the train and head out of Grand Central Station, it isn't hard to miss Pershing Square, since it sits directly below an underpass leading to the station. The vibe inside is pretty decent and it would be wise to sit inside for your meal because the atmosphere near the patio dining area can get insane from the tons of people in business suits roaming the streets and people simply trying to make it to Grand Central Station. The staff is friendly and this is certainly a cool after work spot if you're and office type who is not ready to head home after a long day of work. Dining directly after breakfast is recommended, as most of the people who work in the nearby offices will have already left to head over to work. So it's much quieter earlier in the day and you can pretty much enjoy a meal with little interruption. Prices are fair and you want break the bank having brunch or a decent meal.

Speaking from experience, I am a graduate of De La Salle Academy and can say that this school was certainly a milestone in my education, as well as my classmates from then and beyond. It is a middle school, serving grade 6-8 and really will put your child on the right path to choosing a great private high school/boarding school and eventually college. Many of my classmates and former student went on to attend some of the nation's finer colleges and universities, like Harvard, Columbia, NYU, Yale, Cornell, and the list just goes on. At just a single floor on top of another school DLSA brings in students from all over the city, regardless of background and lets the best students be around some of the best teachers. There is a close -knit community atmosphere, so all of the kids get to know one another and the staff is extrememly involved in the lives of the students. For me, this school was the difference between staying in the public school system or going on to something better. The area surrounding the school is pleasant, on 97th and Amsterdam Ave and though the admissions process is tough, you'll know that your child will be in one of the more elite, life altering schools in the city.

You can probably find a million sushi spot's in the city, but I recently went to Ruby Foo's in Times Square and can certainly say that this is a top notch restaurant. The wait staff is very friendly and accommodating and it is clear the much detailed attention was put into the overall decor of the premises. If you're with a large group of people there's more than enough room in the back of the restaurant to accommodate large parties and some of the tables even have a smaller "turntable" in the middle so you can share your dishes with your guests. There's also a full bar area and the restaurant is open late on the weekdays and later on the weekends, so feel free to enjoy dinner at 11:30 p.m. Prices are fair, but definitely bring your wallet, because the food won't come cheap. Trust me, the dishes are also worth the wait and there is an assortment of types of sushi and rolls at your disposal. This is certainly the kind of place you'd want to take a date and if you are too big on the Times Square scene, there is another Ruby Foo's somewhere in the 70s.
