If you're looking for a real NYC experience and wanting to feel like a true "New Yorker", this is the place for you. The scene is artsy, authentic village and laid back. The perfect place to just be YOU. Location is perfect for a stroll in Thompkins Park (dogwalk in our case), or to just stumble upon an amazing food experience.. we happened upon Yuca Bar and Cafe Mogador (right next door!) .. both wonderful. Surprisingly quiet and peaceful considering all the activity.. would definitely stay at Emily's place again.
