Next-level pancakes, the best burger and burritos in a contemporary diner setting, nestled against the soundtrack of the Manhattan Bridge.

This Cantonese noodle spot is known for its beef and pork specialties. You can pick up the juiciest pork dumplings for $15. Don’t be put off by the long line on weekends. It’s worth it.

56 HENRY
56 Henry is the emotionally charged anchor of Henry Street’s art community. Openings are like a block party. The exhibitions, sharp, funny, and sometimes devastating, capture the messy, confessional texture of creative life right now.
