A Guide to All the Cool Spots in Lower Manhattan

Regardless of how much time you spend in a city, it can never hurt to get a fresh list of spots to check out. Places you may have overlooked over the years (even though you walk by them every. single. day.) or ones you’ve possibly never even heard of thanks to the constant over-saturation of new places and things. Personally, we wanted a refresher for Lower Manhattan, so we turned to

Alix Brown

, the music director for

Soho Grand Hotel

and

The Roxy Hotel

who moonlights as a DJ and columnist on

GrandLife

, for a few suggestions, and boy, did she deliver. Below, 21 (hopefully new) places for us all to check out. See you there?
