The Best Things To Do in NYC this Week (May 16, 2018)

It was warm for a little bit… That counts.

Restaurant of the week

Crave Fishbar is a DELIGHTFUL spot in Midtown East if you're looking for some seafood (or even if you're not).

With everything you need from fish sliders to a big bowl of pasta, you really can't go wrong! I can recommend sitting out the front with a bottle of wine, it's perfect on a warm Friday afternoon.

Bar of the week

I love my little corner of the East Village, Alphabet City.

Maiden Lane is a lovely little bar with a great indoor and outdoor area. It serves delicious snacks to go with your drinks (primarily seafood based) and has some great happy hour deals. You're even allowed to bring your dog!

The hot crab dip is delicious!
