Melody Lanes
Ten-pin Bowling Alley
461 37th Street, Brooklyn, 11232
"There's a bowling alley called Melody Lanes. It's kind of run down and stuck in this time capsule, but I feel like that's part of the charm. And the bartender there is iconic."

Scarr’s Pizza
Pizza restaurant
35 Orchard St, New York, NY 10002, United States
"One of the best slices in New York. Go sit up the back of the pizza shop in the booth. The interior is great because they’ve kept the old-world feeling intact — there are great movie posters and art on the walls. You always meet interesting people there."

Elizabeth Street Garden
Community garden
Elizabeth St, New York, NY 10012, United States
"A really fun place to go and chill out, especially when you've been pounding the pavement all day. It's a little oasis in the middle of the city."

Chinatown Ice Cream Factory
Ice cream shop

Neighborhood

"I think for anyone visiting New York, you’ve got to go to Dumbo. It's so picturesque, it really feels like you're on the set of a movie."
