SEY COFFEE
18 Grattan StCute. Great coffee.
Sweet Lebanese-American-Mexican spot walking distance from the loft. Call them and order ahead and walk to pick up dinner for a night when you don't feel like going out. They have some limited outdoor seating, but this place works great for takeout. I get the chicken kabob plate (includes salad and hummus), a side of the garlic sauce and an order of the french fries. Tasty!

There are 2 Win Son locations - the restaurant and the bakery. I hit the bakery for their smash burger and a red rice or millet mochi donut.

So famous you might have to try it. Pies are small and pricey, so maybe go just for the experience and pizza to share and then get a hearty meal somewhere else.

Take the L train toward Manhattan to the Union Square stop and be transported to my home state of Texas. Order the classic queso and fajitas - (beef and chicken) and a margarita (or a Diet Coke) and you can thank me later. There’s also an Upper East Side location if you’re up that way.

As a Texan, my recommendations are basically Burgers, BBQ, and Tex-Mex. So, here’s my BBQ recommendation! I get the chopped beef sandwich with the cornbread - extra butter please.

Martha’s is a dessert and coffee shop. Surprisingly large interior space and they have two bathrooms! All of the desserts will put you into a sugar coma - so just think about the rest of your day when deciding between coffee or cake (or both).
