Lady Gaga’s family restaurant. Italian, live music, Lincoln Center block. Go for the food and the room, not the souvenir hunt.

Lillie’s Victorian Establishment

Times Square · 249 W 49th St, Union Square · 13 E 17th St

Two Victorian rooms, same idea. Fancy interior, heavy on the details. Holiday decorations are the reason to go in December. Sister spots to Oscar Wilde.

lilliesnyc.com

Mustang Harry’s

Midtown · 352 7th Ave

Irish sports bar next to Madison Square Garden. Wicked strong screwdrivers on a Sunday morning, after a night at the Garden watching your favorite basketball team suffer the worst loss in franchise history.

mustangharrys.com

New Park Pizza

Howard Beach · 156-71 Cross Bay Blvd

Best pie in Queens. We’ll argue it against the whole city. Coal-oven slice, salted deck, no theater. Go to Howard Beach. Just ask Adam Sandler or Granni Dani. The pies are huge, she is tiny, yet she will make a full one disappear by herself.
