Let’s face it, a good portion of Manhattanites absolutely despise Times Square for more reasons than there are subway lines. There are a few exceptional gems, however, that will make it worth the trip for us to go into “Tourist Central” and actually enjoy our experience while there. The Knickerbocker Hotel, located on 42nd street between Broadway and 6th Avenue, is a prime example of that, as you are whisked away from the busy New York City streets and into a peaceful and relaxing world of nothing but class and sophistication.

Slice it Up: Denino’s Pizzeria & Tavern Livens Up Greenwich Village
For a restaurant that has only been open for two years now, Denino’s Pizzeria & Tavern has certainly made itself at home in Greenwich Village.

Manhattan Digest Exclusive with Culinary Legend Donatella Arpaia!
I have big a huge fan of culinary icon Donatella Arpaia for quite some time now, dating several years back as I experienced her restaurant David Burke & Donatella back in my early 20’s.

Guyer’s, on 74th and Columbus, has some delicious food and drink like most other places do, but they don’t have a major secret ingredient that sets it apart from the pack. Here’s what it is.
