Menachem's airbnb in midtown Manhattan gave us a comfortable home within easy walking distance of loads of sites. We loved our time there, were able to easily eat meals in when that proved more convenient--and there's no shortage of local restaurants doing take out--and had good nights' sleep between our adventures. Menachem and Fatima responded quickly and communicated pro-actively; our whole experience was easy, and we were grateful for their centrally located space.

Three takeout recommendations: We enjoyed trying less familiar cuisine from Voilà Afrique Restaurant right next to the airbnb, a nice take out meal from Pecora Bianca a few blocks away, and breafkast foods from Ole & Steen, a chain of Danish bakeries, w/ one on Lexington a 10 minute walk.
