Schnipper's
@herebebarr
They do classic American fare very well. I'm talking burgers, sandwiches, salads, etc. It's quick serve, and the perfect choice for any picky eaters or children who aren't in the mood to experiment much from traditional bites. Chicken Fingers (4 pc $9.50) are a prime and tasty example.

Urban Hawker
@herebebarr
This opened at the end of September 2022. This is an Anthony Bourdain inspired Singapore Hawker Center. The kinds of food stalls found all over Asia. There are 17 vendors total with prices ranging from $10-$19 for a dish. The food options span the Asian continent, from Malaysia to Singapore and India! I’d try to avoid the weekday lunch rush as the word is out with Midtown Office Workers. This could set a big trend for the NYC food scene. I’ll try to film a video here in the coming months!

Ford Foundation Building
@herebebarr
This gives new meaning to the word, "Concrete Jungle". Located in the lobby of the Ford Foundation Center for Social Justice, this is a literal Tropical Rain Forest... in the middle of an office building. And it's open to the public during business hours! Don't believe me? Go find out for yourself, and surprise whoever you're with. They actually collect rain water on the roof, and have the indoor climate set to allow for tropical conditions. A true urban marvel. And less than 10 minutes walk from Grand Central Terminal in Midtown East.

M&M'S World New York
@herebebarr
The only real Tourist Trap I’ll recommend for a few reasons: 1) If you have kids they’ll love it 2) Their NYC Themed M&M gifts 3) On the third floor they have one of Times Squares ONLY Public Restrooms 🚽
