This is one of my favorite places for dumplings in lower Manhattan and outside of Chinatown, not to mention the prices are unbeatable. 10 dumplings for $3.50-$5.00! They also sell soups, noodles and frozen dumplings.

This is one of the most unique shops I’ve come across and the beaded products, from handbags and jewelry to accessories, are simply beautiful. They focus on bringing sparkle and joy to everyday life and you could feel that as soon as you step into the store. Even the door handle is beaded!

The bags have been worn by the likes of Gigi Hadid, Emily Ratajkowski, and nearly every street style favorite during fashion week.

If you’re looking for a cute, meaningful gift to give someone, then this is a shop for you. They have doughnut candles, lipstick earrings, dog salt and pepper shakers and mini mugs to name a few. Everything is so beautifully crafted, especially the ceramics, twisted candles and woven placements. They have a small selection of clothes as well and jewelry.

Looking for a plant-based restaurant that serves delicious and innovative food? Then Jajaja is the place for you! This Mexican restaurant in the LES also features an impressive Tequila and Mezcal program along with Mexican beers on tap. I highly suggest ordering the tacos, gorditas, and finishing your meal with the churritos served with coconut dulce de leche.

Domo sushi is an intimate omakase place in a local food court located in Chinatown. I loved how there's only six available seats and reservations are highly recommended. Chef Jiro is a sushi master! The ingredients are all fresh and everything was consistently delicious. If you love sushi as much as I do, and would like to support an amazing chef, then add this to your NYC bucket list!
