Ysa’s NYC – Hot Spots

Where are your favorite places to chill?

When I was 19 and came to New York for the first time, someone took me to Café Habana and I fell in love. If you know me, you know I love to eat. That place has the best Cuban corn, and it’s cheap — a plus when you’re a 23 year old living in New York on the grind. The only fault is, it’s always insanely busy, so timing always is strategic. I gotta say Whitmans because my boy Alex works there and it’s suddenly the new Seinfeld joint. Or, like Cheers, in this “Everybody knows your name” way. It’s on E 9th and has the best burgers and don’t question the fried kale. I wish I could go here more often but Submercer in the basement of the Mercer Hotel is dope. I like intimate places where you roll with a group rather than a huge venue.
