Each pastry is better than the last at Bushwick’s vegan queer bakery Seitan Rising. Check their Instagram for daily sweets drops, and if you see their fluffy and not-too-cloyingly-sweet-cinnamon buns on the docket—get your shoes on and move quick! | |

Drink |
|
Calling all non-coffee drinkers— if you feel left out of having something warm to sip on in the morning, matcha could be your rocket fuel. After trying dozens of matchas across New York, the creamy Rose Matcha at Greenpoint’s Cafe Alula takes the cake for me. | |

230 Fifth has been around for several New York winters with their famous igloos, but this year, the rooftop is elevating the experience. Each heated igloo now has a private movie screening and old-fashioned fireplace. | | | | |

Eating: Hot Honey Chicken Sandwiches from Jacob’s Pickles
In this weekly series, we check in with visitors to Time Out Market New York to get their thoughts on the city’s buzziest topics—from how we’re working now to riding public transit and making the most of a rapidly changing city.
What’s something positive you think has come out of the last year?
“I think a lot of people have found their passion or were forced to be creative. We were both laid off earlier this year, and decided to come together and start our own business for talent acquisitions. That’s why we’re here today, to solidify our plans. I’ve also had time to work on my women’s empowerment organization. We had a picnic for it this summer in Prospect Park and talked about how we can be positive and help each other grow.”—Samantha
Oh, that sounds amazing! Anything else?
“We’re both Caribbean born and bred. We are overly clean people before COVID and were already sanitizing things and standing six feet apart from people. So with the COVID regulations, I'm like, ‘This is regular life for me!’ This is what we should have done in the first place. The trains should have been cleaned. People should be standing at six feet a part. When you cough, you should be covering your mouth. I'm glad that people are more conscious of that now.”—Samantha
Any local businesses you want to shout out?
“There are a lot of good spots in Rockville Centre. There’s a Japanese fusion restaurant called Meet Izakaya that I’d recommend. Burgerology in Astoria is amazing. People should also check out Verde on Smith
in Cobble Hill. It has great outdoor seating in the back.”—Kira | |
