New York City Guide

We absolutely adore visiting New York to capture special moments in our client’s lives. Whether you are visiting Studio Bust to celebrate a milestone birthday, create a pregnancy sculpture or simply a celebration of oneself, why not make it an occasion to remember and visit one of our favourite spots in the city.

We’re back in NY at the end of this month (our final few appointments can be booked here) and already have a table reserved at Bar Bete, maybe we’ll see you there?

We’ve been diligent in our research, if they've made the list, we promise they are worth a visit.

Morgenstern’s

They also have a joint called Morgensterns BANANAS who deal out vegan soft serve all day.

Levain

Zabar’s

Whilst we’ve highlighted them for the sweets, don’t miss out on their bagel bar or famous chicken dumpling soup too.

Ray’s Candy Store

Dough Doughnuts

LES Collection

Their beautiful showroom is loved by interior designers for their unique but effortless pieces.

John Derian Company

Apparatus Studio

Tucked away and up the stairs you’d think you’ve got the wrong place but the labyrinth of Apparatus Studios showrooms are just the ticket for interiors inspiration.

Sweet Pickle Books

Foundrae

Nine Orchard

We’ve stayed there on a number of Studio Bust trips and we always love to go back, the corner bar is well worth a visit and we love the detail down to the scalloped menus.

11 Howard

Hoxton Williamsburg

Just across the river from Manhattan lies the Hoxton with their newest outpost. For the best views of the city head to their rooftop or across the road to the Wythe and sip a drink overlooking the skyline.

Hotel Fouquets

Hotel Chelsea

Misi

It’s almost impossible to get a weekend booking on their platform so call them up on the day to go on the list which has never failed to deliver a spot that night.

King

Bar Bete

You can’t miss this neighbourhood jaunt offering the best chicken parfait we’ve ever had - EVER! Go for the Tuna toast and don’t skip out on the yellow cake, even if you have to take it away in a doggy bag.

Places Des Fetes

Wayla

Raku

Known for their ramen but be sure to order some sushi to start off the meal.

Newtown

Frankels

In our opinion it’s the best bagel we’ve had in New York… and we’ve had a lot! Can’t go wrong with the Classic Nova.

Joes Pizza

Uncle Lou

DAE

Just about the most beautiful cafe we’ve visited. They do brunch on weekends but you’ll need to book in advance.

Rhythm Zero

Matchaful

Butler

Our go to Oat Flat White and their yogurt berry muffin isn’t bad either!

La Cabra

Wythe Rooftop

The best view of the city as pictured. Head there early and grab the best spot to chill with some sundowners.

Frankie’s 457

Rhodora

Set on a beautiful leafy street corner it’s easy to spend hours people watching over a glass of their chilled red on tap. Don’t skip the curried olives - sounds strange but it works!

Dante

Fool’s Gold

We’d love to know if you end up at any of our recommendations - please do tag us on instagram if you do!
