Hello World NYC! I come to you with some bittersweet news. Due to some big changes to Launch House this past week, David will no longer be writing IRL NYC. You can keep in touch with him on linkedin and by listening to his podcast Inspired State of Mind. Also, he's doing a bit of content marketing consulting (he was the brains behind a lot of LH content!) - check that out here.

The other bit of news is that I, Brett Goldstein, am moving to NYC (NoHo specifically) on Wednesday! Which means for the time being, Jason Levin (brains behind our other publication, Homescreen) and I will be tag teaming IRL NYC!

So, given I just moved here, what are the first restaurants (or other places) I should hit up??
