The Best Things To Do in NYC this Week (July 11, 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 love a little Italian eatery and this one is FANTASTIC!

Piccolo Cucina Estiatorio (is one of a few, this one in SoHo) has a fun name that translates to “Small Estitorio Kitchn” (?) and what you need to know is the food is incredible and gets served in little pans, what more could you possibly want!? I can recommend the orecchiette (always, I love that pasta so much).

Bar of the week

Sometimes you're looking for an extra fancy little something…

Extra Fancy in Brooklyn is a “Crab-shack-chic eatery serving New England-style seafood plates, upscale sandwiches, creative cocktails & craft beer.”. It's got a delightful outdoor area to sit and enjoy something frozen, and some really good quality food for a pretty reasonable price!

Check it out!

Where to watch the (almost end of the) World Cup Live

I've written a whole post about where to watch every single FIFA World Cup Final LIVE in the East Village. Free drinks, raising money for charity, it's got everything!
