Pylos
128 E 7th StBest Greek in the neighborhood. A little upscale.
It's "Kosher/Vegetarian" but much more. Hole in the wall with a very narrow room. Good, healthy food for breakfast or lunch. The bread is great, they have 10 types of soup everyday, and they will fresh press any veggie or fruit juice 24 ounces for about $6

Chinese well made. Guilty pleasure. The first time I went, I thought I had finally eaten the best food I will ever eat.
They will make the spice level 1-10 on anything. 10 is not for sissies.

Drinks & Nightlife
One of my favorite craft beer places because the owners came from Greece and they specialize in European craft beers.
And I have a permanent mug on the wall with my name on it.

Cocktail chemistry. In the back of Momofuku Ssam. It's mixology taken to the limits. They centrifuge their juices so they solids are pulled out so it's clear liquid that tastes like pure grapefruit juice. And they make carbonated vodka, and chill your glass with liquid nitrogen. No lie.

But not where it shows up on the map, it has to be below 14th Street.
Your whole Friday night can be spent cruisin up and down. Comedy clubs, BBQ, cafes, brunches, sports bars and people watching.
Then later, walk down St Marks for the after party.
