    8 Bit Bites definitely looks like a place I need to check out, I didn’t even know it existed, but I’ll have to pop in next time I’m in the East Village. The food looked good enough, but I would definitely go more for the experience and the games.
    Pastasole looked good to me. Is there better, more “authentic” pasta in the city? Of course, but those places are not going to be $9 per serving lol.
    Chocolate on Tap is great, I had it the other day and now I’m wanting it again lol

    I’m planning for a solo trip to NYC in May for 7 days. Is 5,000 dollars a reasonable budget? I want to see a broadway show the first night(Harry Potter and the Cursed Child), the Empire State Building, the One World Trade Center, the 9/11 memorial/museum, and I want to do the city climb. Other than that, I want to eat a lot of good food and plenty of sight seeing. I plan to go to Queens to see the Spider-Man house from 2002, and I will go to Brooklyn from there to walk the Brooklyn bridge back to manhattan. For hotels, I was looking at Hotel 57 or the Artezen. Are these decent hotels? They were the most budget friendly hotels I could find in Manhattan. Any other recommendations would be appreciated. Also, I’m still unsure how to book tickets for broadway shows and the attractions I want to do in advance. Tips on that will be appreciated as well as I don’t want to buy the wrong things. Any other tips and recommendations would be appreciated.
