We asked four Calgarians-turned-New Yorkers (in the case of Lauren
Bagliore, its the other way around) to share some of their favourite NY
noshing haunts. Herewith their picks:

Café Cluny
has the best tuna burgers. This restaurant is very French bistro-esque
but modern with New York flair. Last time I was there, I saw Harry
Potter! Café Cluny, 284 W. Fourth St. at W. 12th St., New York,
212-255-6900, www.cafecluny.com

Coffee Shop first and get an Americano and then make sure to be at Prune

For refined Mexican, go to Mayahuel
and make sure to try one of their cocktails with Mezkal. And no one
should leave the city without stopping for a beer at McSorleys.

I love this French bistro called Lucien,
its been around forever and Andy Warhol used to eat there.Café
Condesa is another favourite. Its very small and intimate with only
eight tables and no stoves or ovens. They cook everything on induction
burners and the food is always excellent, a great place for a date.
