The Best Things To Do in NYC this Week (August 1, 2018)

Every week I try to visit some new venues and tell you about the best ones. So where has Josh been this week (especially after a whole week off, what the hell have I been doing!?)

Restaurant of the week

I'm an Australian, you may have worked that out already.. So here's an Australian recommendation

Flinder's Lane is a delicious little restaurant in the East Village serving up “quintessential neighborhood restaurant with daily specials board, friendly & familiar service in cozy surrounds.” They even serve Cooper's and James Boag's beers!

I can highly recommend the Burrata and the Angel Hair Pasta!

Bar of the week

This week we're going beer…

The Malt House is a fantastic place for a delicious beer and snack located in the heart of the Financial District (“FiDi”). Serving up a HUGE array of options every day, the place does get busy and loud but is still worth popping in after work.

West Side Events (Hell's Kitchen)

Have you heard of W42ST magazine?

W42ST is a hyperlocal media brand celebrating the residents, workers, visitors, and businesses of Hell’s Kitchen.

It also includes articles like: “A billion things you MUST do outdoors this summer“. Definitely worth a read and you'll find them distributed all over Hell's Kitchen!
