Great place to watch sporting events. They have a Jazz brunch on the weekends. Giant outdoor seating area. This is THE largest outdoor spacious seating I have seen in all of Manhattan. Food is good with a twist on everything. Frozen drinks are a must here too.

It is worth the trip over to Queens to test out these flavors. You know that NYC has loads of Indian restaurants. We have been to lots of them. This is on top. Flavors are a bit different and pleasing. Very good service. You feel like you are their friend and they take care of you.

*****Get the Groupon (but cannot use it on Friday-Sunday) Korean spa and sauna right in the middle of Manhattan's Korea-town. Even if you don't go here, simply go on this street and enjoy some food and the crazy busy and vibrant little Korea. This place is relatively small compared to Spa Castle but big compared to a lot of other spa type places in Manhattan. Its very rellaxing because the place is new
