Incredible noodle & soup joint. Very fast, very cheap, and some of the best food you'll get in NYC. Each noodle dish is comprised on one super-long continuous noodle. Sounds crazy I know, but this place is a must-try.

Pretty much one of the most unique antique/second-hand stores in NYC. They claim to have the largest collection of vinyl records in NYC (hit the basement). They have everything from books, to clothes, to gadgets and electronics, ancient relics, and trinkets. They're also usually pretty flexible on pricing since most everything is acquired at estate sales.
