Guest Blog By Andrew Steinthal of ImmaculateInfatuation.com

Greetings good people of Glenwood, Steinthal here from NYC dining and entertainment site ImmaculateInfatuation.com.
We break restaurants down by what we'd tell our friends they're "Perfect For" whether it be a First/Early In The Game Date, Chronic
Brunch, Dinner With The Parents or a place with Action At The Bar.
Since Glenwood's focus is on apartments, we thought it'd be appropriate
to focus on some of our favorite Neighborhood Hang restaurants. We'll
visit Williamsburg, Murray Hill, Union Square, both the East & West
Village and even venture up north to the UES today.
