See and be seen in this neighborhood hot spot. Italian food that is very traditional and tasty. Sit outside on the sidewalk while people stroll by and notice the celebrities eating around you. No reservations taken just walk up and ask how long the wait is. Another of NYC's cash only restaurants so don't for get to hit the bank first. There is one across the road on 6th avenue Apple Bank or a Bank of America on corner of MacDougal street and Bleecker street.

This place is perfect for cold weather eating. The place looks like a chalet in northern Italy and the pastas are amazing! Don't forget to leave room for the mini canolini :P Also nice in summer with loads of outdoor seating facing seventh avenue south.

In the early 1900's when many immigrated to America most people arrived and lived in Tenements. This museum is an example of how it was to live in such conditions and how till this day buildings of the same style exist but now have been converted to more modern living spaces.
