Hell’s Kitchen Local

I don’t go there often, but I adore old chandeliers and antiques. They make me happy, the grandeur, the history, the way they SPARKLE. The chandeliers embody the ability to SPARKLE — to emanate light, to revel in one’s majesty, it’s a wonderful metaphor. Shine Bright. Share Your Gifts. Make a Difference. They have absolutely beautiful pieces in there, and just going in feels like a kind of solace to be around such beauty and majesty. They have also advised me on pricing, trends and have suggested different resources. Another great go-to place.

I love the smell of pies and cakes baking as it swirls through the air when I walk by. Since switching to a whole-food, plant-based lifestyle, I don’t stop in as often as I used to — but when I want to treat myself, I indulge in their raisin bran muffins.

The Marshal is the perfect cozy brunch spot. It has such a warm, welcoming vibe — especially on weekends. The food is soooo delicious and the drinks are even better. It’s the kind of place where you want to sit, relax, and enjoy a long brunch with friends. One of my favorite cozy spots in the neighborhood.

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!

Great for a quick sugar fix or bringing a party dessert and they always have a few gluten free options for my oldest son.

I don’t find myself in bars too often (I’m such a morning person!), but Vers is definitely one of my more frequent nightlife haunts. I have many fond memories of grabbing drinks with friends here before seeing a Broadway show. I recently attended their monthly musical theatre trivia night and had a great time. I consider myself to be pretty knowledgeable and was very much challenged.

Easily my favorite bar in the area with great staff and ambience. If you want to snack, I’d highly recommend the brussels sprouts. They’re fabulous!

Living near It’s Him, I know it is a great place to catch up with friends over a drink, or for a nightcap after a long day. I recently held a campaign event here, and we filled the place! I’m so grateful to the workers for their incredible help that night, and it was a great place to build excitement for our growing campaign.

This late night restaurant and bar makes specialty cocktails, has yummy bottomless brunch (if you choose) and lots of space for throwing parties — which I’ve done a few times.

I love bringing relatives here for breakfast when they are in town, or stopping by with my co-workers for brunch after an early morning matinee. Great pancakes!
