No reservations make the line at Kiki’s one of the longest in the LES. But wait, and you’ll soon be inside eating an unmatched Greek feast.

A former century-old Beaux-Arts-style bank has been lovingly restored into one of the chicest of hotels, offering plush places to eat, sleep, and drink in stunning views of Manhattan.

Don’t miss this Israeli-style bakery, loved by LES locals for their burekas, babka, challah. The real star? Rugelach.

Nothing sparks post-exhibition musings more than a good glass of wine. Follow the emerald doorway to this cozy wine bar. If you bed in long enough, you may as well get a burger, too.
