Just across the street from one of the three Momofuku establishments is Momofuku milk bar. My fave are their compost cookies or cornflake cookies! And their frozen yogurt flavor is cereal milk!

A Japanese whiskey bar that also serves awesome cocktails and each one is precise in the making. It's a bit hidden. You have to go up the stairs and through a restaurant but well worth it!

Between this place and Ninth Ward, I'm never out of a bar to start at. Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen used to frequent this bar in their NYU days. It's a dive bar but NYC does so well with dive bars.
