"Interesting Variety, Off the Beaten Track"
A pretty cool place to visit (if you are in the mood for cakes and cupcakes) on this street is the Buttercup Bake Shop – everything inside of it looks absolutely incredible. Restaurants on the Upper East Side include Cilantro (which as you may have guessed features southwest-style cuisine. So if you’re missing your hometown Texican cuisine, or you’re just in the mood for a green chile cheeseburger – you should check it out.

"Everyone should check out Veselka"
As you go west from First Ave, the scene changes from one that caters more to young people wandering in from the Lower East Side to one that caters to the brownstone apartment owners. There are a good deal of restaurants and shops to visit on Second Ave, like Veselka Restaurant. Veselka is a really great Ukrainian restaurant where I have eaten brunch several times (it was always crowded!).

"What You See"
Second avenue seems like it is a nice place to live in, especially on the lower east side. The vibrant and varied community adds for some great spots of interest along the block, especially the Israeli Max Brenner Chocolate bar, and the Ukrainian Veselka’s across the street. Second Ave and the East Village in general is not lacking in its entertainment value. All along the street, you will find underground poetry and comedy bars that appeal to any adventurous soul. The street also has some really great speciality supermarkets, many with varied foods from Europe and the Middle East. There is not much lacking on Second ave, including easy access to the BDVF line at the second ave/Houston stop.

"Great bar for a good place"
In my opinion, the only real place worth visiting is the Telephone bar. It is one of my first memories of New York City, and it was a good experience. It's a real throwback to London, which is where I spent some of my youth. It was a shot of nastalgia, which only added to the great atmosphere. A must-visit for any bar lovers coming to New York.

"On the East Village section"
Second avenue in the East Village is home of a gathering of fun places. The two big highlights are Telephone Bar (featuring London style telephone booths at the gate) and Pommes-Frites, Belgian-style fries with delicious sauces. The prices for the fries are high, but the happiness one gets from them is priceless. Best sauce in my opinion is the mango chutney mayo.
