Essentials

I don't know that i would have survived New York without Trader Joe's. The prices are significantly cheaper than anything else in the city, so you can eat well without breaking the bank. I love the frozen Indian entrees for an easy dinner.

This is another close grocery option. Trader Joe's has a limited selection + most things are their own brand, so if you need something specific, this is likely your closest best bet.

I also have a membership here :) The Guggenheim only has one exhibit at a time, aside from their small permanent collection, but the space--one of Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpieces--is worth the price of admission.
