Food Scene

1064 Madison AveOne of my favorite Brunch spots! Located on the Upper West Side so you can either take the cross town bus (located on 79th Street and 5th Ave) and hop off on the Amsterdam stop. From there, walk North 4 blocks.
This place does NOT take reservations so I recommend going at 10AM when they open or planning for a 30-40 minute wait. There are plenty of shops to explore while you wait.

Best Mexican food and a very cool setting. You have to make a reservation because when you get there, it looks like a small Mexican to-go diner BUT if you have a reservation, you tell the bouncer and they escort you through the Kitchen so that you can enjoy the very hip scene located downstairs. Celebrity sightings and great music to accompany your dinner.
