Local restaurants
Make your brunch reservations at Public (+1 212 343 7011), a vast, loft-like space on Elizabeth Street with a cosmopolitan marvel of a menu. Azul Bistro (646 602 2004) on Stanton Street will sate your appetite for Argentine steak, Prince Street’s Café Habana (+1 212 625 2001) does the same for Cuban cravings – try the semi-divine grilled corn.
Local bars
The wine bar next door to Public, The Monday Room (www.themondayroom.com) lets you sample a vast variety of vintages with the benefit of a personal wine steward.
Local cafes
For scrumptious sweet stuff, hit Doughnut Plant (+1 212 505 3700) on Grand Street and order a ‘Tres Leches’ – life may never be the same.

Worth getting out of bed for
The Bowery is a few blocks from the landmark Nuyorican Poets Cafe (+1 212 505 8183) in Alphabet City, the birthplace of the Nuyorican (a blend of New York and Puerta Rican) poetic movement and a great place to catch energetic slam poetry, theatre and alternative film nights.
