Brunch 11am on a Sunday. Walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, swing round to your left and head to the waterfront. Perched on the water with a still stunning (Post 9/11) view of the Financial District. Great American food (especially fish) and great service.
1 Water Street Brooklyn (Go to the Town Hall stop on Manhattan and walk across)
An East Village Bar which does cracking later night music most nights. It gets rammed around 11pm (ah that's why New York rocks so much). Find yourself a seat out the back where you have a great view of the incongrously big garden and then wander in when the music starts.
Ave C between 4th and 5th Streets; Nearest subway: Bleeker and walk East; www.nublu.net
Great little spot for sandwiches and tarts. Perfect for a Sunday brunch if you can't get into Jerry's or anywhere else and perfect even if you can.
135 Sullivan Street; nearest station Spring Street
