5 NYC Restaurants You Have To Try At Least Once
Into

Whether it's date night, girls night out, or a birthday dinner, it's always exciting to try out new places to eat. New York City, a city filled with endless amounts of tourist-y and potentially over-the-top restaurants, is a great place to celebrate. If you're fortunate enough to live relatively close to the city, in the city itself, or even if you're just visiting, there are so many different food options to explore. If you're looking for a special night out, here are some popular restaurants known not only for their food, but for their presentation, décor, and atmosphere. Although some may label these restaurants as overrated, they are definitely places you should try at least once!

1. Sugar Factory

Located in NY's meat packing district, this is the perfect birthday location for anyone who is a child at heart! Besides having delicious food, this place is known especially for its massive bubbly drinks. Don't forget to try some of the many different types of waffles and ice cream. Many celebrities have made a stop here, including Kendall and Kylie Jenner.


2. Max Brenner

Did somebody say chocolate? If you're a chocolate lover, this is the place for you. With dishes like chocolate pizza, chocolate syringes, milkshakes and fondue you'll never want to stop eating, this is a great place for any occasion!

3. Serendipity

This sweet little spot is known for their incredible frozen hot chocolate, and Serendipity is a popular tourist location for celebrities as well. With a broad menu of delicious food, and a plethora of frozen drinks, visiting this restaurant is a must.

4. Rice to Riches

I was always hesitant to try rice pudding until I tried Rice to Riches, and was pleasantly surprised at how completely delicious it was. With all different flavors, like cookies and cream and caramel, you won't want to stop eating! Besides having delicious rice pudding, the decor of this restaurant is on point with it's hysterical signs all over the walls. A few of my personal favorites are "If you want to look young and thin...hang out with old and fat people," and "Eat all you want, you're already fat."

5. Ellen's Stardust Diner

This is the perfect place to stop at, before a Broadway show. Ellen's Stardust Diner will get you pumped up! Designed after a 1950's diner, this place's specialty is the atmosphere, which includes singing waitresses. You'll have a blast singing along to your favorite Broadway classics, while munching on some great food!

Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
