My favorite vegetarian spot when my family is in town and i want to spend extra $$. While the website is very clear that they are not necessarily a vegetarian menu, most of the items are ayurvedic inspired and absolutely delicious. Worth a visit if you can get a table.

This is my favorite climbing gym in NYC. You can grab a day pass and rent shoes- there are boulder climbs for all levels. It gets crowded after 5p so go early!
