Dirt Candy
This was one of my favorite meals I've ever had- partially because the food was incredible, but also because the dining experience was completely unique. At Dirt Candy, your vegetarian-based meal comes in six courses. Expect to be wow-ed by DIY lettuce tacos and melting mushroom chocolate for dessert. If you want extra brownie points, read the illustrated "Dirt Candy: The Cookbook" before visiting!
Public House
The Public House Hotel is the perfect spot for dinner if you want a fancy yet fun setting before a night out in the East Village. After spotting the iconic red escalator on your way in, head downstairs to the restaurant to be greeted with high ceilings and a cool ambiance. If you go, make sure to order the fried seafood appetizer and taste the fried lemon!
Artichoke Pizza
If you find yourself in the city, Artichoke Pizza is a must-go for a late night snack (or should I say meal based on the huge portions...) You seriously can't go wrong with a big slice!
