What neighborhood do you live in? Chelsea Favorite Restaurant? So I just went to Carbone, which opened up not too long ago. It was really good. So that’s like the newest favorite one. Although you can only really eat there at 5:30 so... Best date in NYC? There have been things I've said I was going to do.Lila: I’ve done that too. There is this thing out now where you can tour the city and learn what it’s like to be blind. Shooting guns in the city, maybe that’s intense.Helicopter tour to see the Statue of Liberty.

What neighborhood do you live in? Upper East Side Favorite NYC restaurant? I love Mediterranean food, so Periyali, Illili and Fig & Olive are up there on my favorites! Favorite spot in NYC? I love Riff Raff's for their tiki theme - so fun! I also really enjoy the laid back atmosphere and edgy decor at Goldbar. I also can't forget to mention an UES staple - Fiona's- the color of the facade and management may have changed over the years (I go every week and still don't know the current name of this bar!) but this hidden gem always reminds me that I'm home. Best part about living in NYC? There is no other city in this world where you can get anything - and I mean ANYTHING - delivered to your home. Sometimes you need to indulge, and being able to do so at 3 AM should not be a rarity!

What neighborhood do you live in? Chelsea Favorite NYC restaurant? Verde Favorite Event? I went to Make-A-Wish Foundation Toast To Wishes. From the perspective from someone who throws a similar type of event, there was a lot to learn from it. It was really well organized and it was a ton of fun. NYC Happy Place? West Side Highway running path. place. But we will just stick to the west side highway. Honestly I took up running when I moved to the city and I feel like it’s hard to spend time outdoors in NYC. For me it’s been a good way for 1, seeing the city from a different view and 2, just get in some outdoor hours. Moment you knew you were a New Yorker? As corny as it is, there are just so many moments as I’m walking to and from work late at night or early in the morning and I just look up and see the skyline and I’m like ‘It’s so incredible to be young and living in New York City and feel like you are a part of this’.
