You know this neighborhood because there’s a fair chance you or someone u luv works nearby…BUT it can occasionally be hard to find things to do unless an ideal night is a shopping spree at The Gap followed by dinner at Outback Steakhouse. Big chains aside, we love Flatiron / Nomad for its wonderful architecture, central location, and hidden gems. We’ve put together a list of our favorite small businesses in the area.

Eat

Lyssé

FOR: Beautiful pastries which straddle the line between French and Korean with a strong New York City influence. Grab a signature brown rice milk latte and a chocolate banana cookie to enjoy with jazz in Madison Square park.

S&P

FOR: An updated take on the Jewish Deli classics of Eisenberg’s – presented to you by the team behind Court Street Grocers.

Milu

FOR: Fast casual Chinese cuisine from former Eleven Madison Park chefs. Milu’s pantry section with house made sauces may be one of the neighborhood’s best kept secrets.

Hall

FOR: Artisanal burgers in a shoebox sized space covered in early 20th century woodworking. Seriously, this is probably the most beautiful place to eat a hamburger in New York.

Anita La Mamma Del Gelato

FOR: The softest and fluffiest gelato courtesy of Isaeli-based gelateria, Anita. Grab a cup and see what people have been raving about the last year since their opening.

Nonono

FOR: Affordable Yakitori in modern digs. One of the coolest parts of Nonono is the upstairs dining room with full-window views of Madison Avenue below.

Drink

Old Town Bar

FOR: An ice cold draft beer and bar food. Old Town feels like the type of place a firefighter would hang out, but also a cool Gramercy mom? Anyways, don’t think too hard and get a plate of fries for the table.

Gotham Coffee Roasters

FOR: An espresso and sparkling water al fresco. Buy a bag of beans to enjoy the next morning at home.

Shop

Rizzoli

FOR: Coffee table books upon coffee table books upon coffee table books. The legendary publisher’s outfit surely does not disappoint and occasionally they have in store events from some of the illustrious artists and writers they publish.

City Papery

FOR: All of your stationery needs. City Papery has an absolutely extensive selection of paper, envelopes, and wrapping materials. They also do printing in house if you ever need invitations or custom stationary.
