“They have the fluffiest soufflé pancakes that melt in your mouth and have got that jiggle factor down. You can also get a 'sunny side up latte', topped with a mini sunny side up egg made of cream for the whites and mango cream for the yolk. I would recommend the honeycomb pancakes and the matcha sunny side up latte.”
Honorable mentions:
Moka Matcha: Print your favorite pictures onto your latte! Look at how cute Rachel’s cat is!
🍴Julia, Co-Marketing Director
Favorite Restaurant: L’antica Pizzeria Da Michele
L’Antica Pizzeria da Michele, founded in 1870 in Naples, Italy, is a legendary establishment known for authentic Neapolitan pizza. Created by Michele Condurro and passed down through generations, it has become a symbol of tradition and quality, earning the title of the “Sacred Temple of Pizza.” While the original location attracts pizza enthusiasts worldwide, the pizzeria has expanded globally, maintaining its iconic charm and commitment to excellence.

“L’Antica Pizzeria Da Michele has some of the best pizza I’ve had in NYC. They’ve been making pizza since 1870 in Naples, Italy, and now have four locations in the U.S. This place is perfect for anyone who enjoys Neapolitan-style pizza. You absolutely have to try the Diavola or their classic Margherita pizza. Also, fun fact: their original location was featured in the movie Eat Pray Love.”
🍴Sasha, Co-Marketing Director

Five Senses is a cozy restaurant that serves casual Korean comfort food with a modern twist. Their banchan (side dishes) vary daily depending on what ingredients are available, but that’s how you know each dish is made with fresh ingredients.
