#99 Grab a slice at Di Fara



Di Fara Pizza

1424 Avenue J (@ Between 14th Street and 15th Street) Brooklyn, NY 11230

Phone: (718) 258-1367

4 decades of pizza making by one man. Its worth taking a few Advil, getting off the couch, and hoping a quick subway ride on the Q train to Avenue J in Brooklyn just to watch this man make a pie.

#100 East River Park



East River Park

The East River Park runs from the FDR drive and the East River from Montgomery Street to East 12th Street.


If you were noticing the homogenously boring feel of those once legendary East Village haunts last night then you are not alone. This weekend put on a pair of sneakers and feel the East Village at its finest. Once you cross over the E. 10th street overpass the options are endless: jump in on copa mundial futbol inside the track, calisthenics with Pols and Slavs over on the chin up bars, handball in the courts, b ball down the way, fishing, Bar B Q...Man, I hope the West Side HWY keeps em' away for a bit longer!

#101 Bubble Tea in Chinatown


Ten Ren's Tea Time

79 MOTT STREET, SOUTH STORE NEW YORK, NY 10013
TEL: (212) 732-7178


Just off Mott and Canal, Ten Ren's Tea Time is a great change of pace from the usual Saturday afternoon nursing pints over Sportscenter. From what I heard, the original party boy Gautama Buddha discovered tea when some leaves fell into boiling water after a big night out. After your balanced, take a bag of nirvana home with you at Ten Ren's traditional tea store down at 75 Mott.
