Hell’s Kitchen Local

The drinks are great, and their fried pickles are out of this world. On sunny days, I love hanging out with my dog. The staff is super friendly, making it such a wonderful place to chill and enjoy the vibes!

I LOVE THIS STORE. They have so many cute trinkets. You can always find a cute little gift here or a fun card. This store is so cute and the staff is always so nice.

If you want amazing Italian pizza, Don Antonio is the place. The pizzas are made in a beautiful wood-fired oven and you can really taste the difference. The waiters are incredibly friendly — it honestly feels like going to a friend’s house for dinner. And the dessert is a must: their fried pizza with Nutella is absolutely unforgettable.

This is probably my favorite steakhouse in the world, largely because of its incredible atmosphere. It embodies everything I imagine a classic New York steakhouse to be.

World Wide Plaza is another go-to, especially in the summer. It’s conveniently located to theatres and it’s a cute and nice spot to catch up with friends, eat lunch or people watch. I love people watching…but I do miss the days of Blockheads and Mother Burger. IYKYK.

This is one of those places that just feels good to walk into. Fountain House + Body is doing incredible work creating job opportunities for people living with mental illness. I love stopping in for a coffee or browsing their handmade soaps and candles. Everything is made with care and intention. And if you get a little gift from me, there is a good chance it’s from here.

Rudy’s is such a classic. It’s one of those places people from all around the world somehow end up at because of the famous promos and the fun atmosphere. Having it here is such a gem. I’ve gone there so many times with friends — it’s always a great, easy spot to grab a drink, laugh, and just enjoy the night.

I stumbled into this place on a whim a couple years ago when I was doing a show down the street and it quickly became my go-to nail studio. The staff here is so sweet and they always get me together when I need it!

The recently re-imagined restaurant atop the Marriott Marquis is an elevated (pardon the pun) updated version of the original. The food is excellent and the relaxed atmosphere makes Times Square seem quaint 48 floors below.

Anybody who knows me knows I love sushi. I love cooking it, but it’s not something I’ve really tried mastering because I love going out for it so much more. Natalie and I are big fans of Fushimi for its great ambience and interior design. The quality of the food easily rivals Nobu (although we still go here), and at a far better price point! You’ll often find us here after a matinee performance.
