One of my favorite places to dine for a quick sandwich or authentic, home-cooked Italian meal is Manganaro’s, located in Hell’s Kitchen. (Note: this is not to be confused with Manganaro’s Hero Boy next door, which is not affiliated with the older Manganaro’s.) This place is a delight — from the old-world butcher shop decor, […]
One of the greatest allures of NYC are all of the world class theatre options. Great musicals, dramatic plays, comedic work, all available upon arriving in New York City.
