Jessica Fimbel Willis is a Boston-based designer, illustrator, and letterer who draws all of her favorite places and things to do in New York City. Her project Draw My NYC began in 2018 after she moved out of the city.

“I loved the city and felt like I needed to give a special shout out to some of my favorite spots,” Jessica wrote on her personal website. “After the success of the series, I have been debating growing it into a zine or small book. The response has been amazing and humbling, and I am happy I get to share my NYC with so many people.”

In her career she has worked with many big brand names such as Slice, Taïm, Le Pain Quotidien, Joe Coffee Company, Pret A Manger, Life Hotel and Free & Above.

I’ve been so excited to post this New York gem for my #DrawMyNYC series. Ladies and gentlemen, I present my favorite bar, Professor Thom’s. I fell in love with @professorthoms the first time I walked in – it’s a New Englander’s haven in the middle of New York City. Filled with @patriots and @redsox memorabilia and rowdy fans, it brought me right home. . More importantly, this bar is the reason I met my amazing husband @willisfilm. We first met on @okcupid and we realized instantly that we both had the same favorite bar, Thom’s, so we met there to watch a game together. We hit it off immediately and through the years have shared many, many beers there watching the Patriots kick some ass ❤️ Five years later, we had our going away party at this same bar. It was bittersweet, but we have had so many incredible memories there. Thank you @professorthoms for making my life complete 🍻
