Website:  https://www.eataly.com/ Address:  4, World Trade Center, 101 Liberty Street, Floor 3, New York, NY 10007 Located in the Westfield World Trade Center Rating: 4 out of 5 stars  Feedback: February 10, 2018 top floor of the Westfield Mall It is like a grocery with food stalls and restaurants Has a great view of the World Trade Center, see picture below! Food is great, not too pricy, it's like around 20 dollars average per pizza or pasta Pasta al forno -  SEafood 4 due to the location and view, home-made pasta, but too salty for me You can sit and have a nice view of this! One of the restaurants inside Margherita Quattro Formagi Pasta Al forno Seafood pesto Quite Salty for me.. they should lessen the saltiness  ---- EATALY Pablo Picaso

Free Ferry Ride from Manhattan to Staten Island

Image
Terminal: Staten Ferry Terminal at Battery Park Cost: FREE Duration: around 20-30 minutes per way Metro: South Ferry station (1) or Whitelhall St (R, W) Schedules here . It leaves every 30 minutes either in Staten Island or Manhattan area (Whitehall Terminal). Note that when we reached Staten Island (St. George Terminal), we have to wait another half an hour since it seems that the Ferry towards Manhattan left as we disembark our Ferry. February 10 - View of Ellis Island and Status of Liberty on a very foggy day The coast guard "guarding" us hehe The statue of liberty and the coast guard Towards Ellis Island Where we embarked from Staten Island November 10, 2017 May 7, 2016 Whitehall Terminal

Raku Udon NYC

Website:  http://www.rakunyc.com/ Address: 342 E 6th St, New York, NY 10003 Rating: 5 out of 5 star Feedback: February 9, 2018 (Friday) Small place in the East Village, didn't even see it as there was a door with a very small sign and a menu There was only a 20 minute wait despite being a Friday evening, apparently normally it takes 1 - 2 hours Foodwise - amazing, Price is quite on the pricy end. Chicken Tatsuta-age marinated fried chicken Quite nice, soft meaty chicken, very soft taste but I think I might have preferred the usual karaages though Niku Udon beef short-ribs & honeycomb tripe ($17) Udon is very chewable and really good and feeling Bowl was huge Taste really great; meat are both soft and chewy Taste like "Bulalo" and a bit of sweet side

Krystal's Cafe 81 - Authentic Filipino Food @NYC, East Village

Image
Webpage:  https://www.facebook.com/krystalscafe81 Address: 81 E 7th Street Food Rating: 5 out of 5 - Authentic Filipino food in NYC at a very affordable price Price: Affordable. We paid 55 bucks + tip for 2 Sago't Gulaman, 2 Garlic Rice, Bicol Express, Lechon Kawali, Sisig, and a slice of Braso de Mercedes. Sago't Gulaman - tad sweet though Pandesal - Hot Pandesal, and I soooo miss this bread! Bicol Express - Spicy and Creamy, just the way I like it Lechon Kawali - crispy and soo unhealthy! Yummy! Sisig - I guess a tamer version since they didn't prolly have 'innards or cheeks' but still good as ever! Braso de Mercedes - classic Filipino cake added with a Cream which seem to have some kind of 'alcoholic syrup'
