Shopping

This is the best/closest bodega to the apartment--about a 2 min walk. It has basic groceries, beer, plus a great deli (I recommend the Pho #1). Also open 24 hours.

I actually think this place is horrible but am still glad it's there (12-min walk). For those who don't know, Kmart = a crappy version of Walmart. So you can find (cheap) clothes, food, hardware, etc.

Essentials

This supermarket is a quick 3-minute walk from the apartment. It's not huge but has solid selection and is pretty cheap. Also open 24 hours. Definitely nice to have close by.

This is the closest Whole Foods, a 10-15 min walk. It's got plenty of space by NYC standards & (like all Whole Foods) has higher quality ingredients. This is where I do most of my grocery shopping.

This Whole Foods is a bit farther away, but you can grab the M14A bus right outside (headed in Lower East Side/Abington Sq direction), and it will let you off at 6th St/Ave A, 2 min from my apartment.

Everything Else

Eco-friendly cleaners downstairs in the same building as the apt. They do both dry cleaning and wash & fold. I go there bc it's so convenient & the staff are great--a bit more expensive but worth it.

Another close, cheaper laundry option w/ better hours & a coin-op option, in addition to wash & fold + dry cleaning. Not as convenient as Pure Organic or quite the same level of service but solid.

Ok, as someone who grew up in the South & then went to university in Texas, I know a thing or two about BBQ, and this place has great brisket + pulled pork (even though those come from diff. regions).

Lovers of Today was one of my favorite cocktail spots in the City even before I lived here. Cocktails are great, and the atmosphere is pretty intimate. Great for dates, but not exclusively a date spot

One of NYC's most famous speakeasies, but it's well known now i.e. not that secret. There's a doorman outside. You'll put your name on his list and wait (they'll call you when your table's ready).

Ok, so there are a million bars to check out--these are just a few places. If you want to explore, I'd recommend looking on St. Marks Pl, or really anywhere in the EV. This is a fun/shady dance club.
