CASUAL. The best pizza in NYC is just 3 blocks from 83 Spring. Go during off hours or don't even bother trying to get in. It's usually a 2-hour wait. Better for picking up and eating at home.
I order pick up via Seamless and show up 10 minutes before they say it will be ready. Never order delivery. It will come cold, hard, and take forever -- if it arrives at all.
The tie-die pizza and stuffed artichokes are both exceptional.

(The site converts this heading to “The Cell”, but it’s really The Joyce.) A great modern dance theatre - I go often. It’s not large, so every seat is a good one. There are often last minute tickets available so check out their site.

I have mixed feelings about Citi bikes. On the one hand, it's a quick way to get around and the city now has many bike lanes. On the other, pedestrians in NYC aren't very attuned to bikes so it can be stressful riding, especially if you are constantly looking at your map/app.
