BEST donuts ever. Cash only. You can find them at markets and stores but they're much better when you get them directly from the bakery.

Casual place, sitting outdoors upstairs having tasty thin pizza and beer. You will most likely hear the choir people next door jam out some serious singing if you go on a Sunday afternoon...

Shopping
This is not located in Hanson Place as it automatically pops up on the map, but in the summer it's a block around the corner at the high school yeard. Lots of gems from accessories to furniture. And- the foodstands are amazing!

Parks & Nature
It's small but it's perfect for an evening stroll up to the top of stairs to watch the sunset over downtown Manhattan. Stunning. Also a fantastic exercise place getting your interval training going:)
