The stunning report is a call for action for many New Yorkers. But there’s a silver lining: eating has become an ethical practice, and God knows we’re willing to do the work.

Here to show us the ropes is New York-local, Alexa Matthews. The mastermind behind Eating NYC, Matthews covers restaurants, travel, fitness, and luxury lifestyle, zooming in on NYC restaurants in particular. Aside from her online platform, and a massive following on Instagram, Matthews has been featured by CNNMoney, Wall Street Journal, Cosmopolitan, and Zagat, so you know she means business.

In light of the pandemic, Matthews recently put together a NYC Outdoor Dining Guide that lists all the places that are open for business. “My account is all about showing you the latest and greatest in New York,” she told Just Opened New York, “it’s my duty to be your loyal, trustworthy guide.”

One of her favorite restaurant in New York is L’Artusi. “It’s super cozy, with dim lighting that makes it really romantic,” she relayed. “It’s trendy but unpretentious, with great food and service—it really ticks all the boxes. If you go, I recommend the bucatini pasta—it’s the best.”

Get your napkins ready!

Born in New York, she grew up with her illustrator father in a fish market, but escaped to attend the Rhode Island School of Design, later returning to NYC to study illustration at the School of Visual Arts.

Now a renowned illustrator in her own right, Avillez’s pen drawings have been featured by the best of the best, including publications like Penguin, Random House, Harper Collins, and The New Yorker.

And for good reason. Her black and white illustrations are endearing in their simplicity, calling to mind old caricatures and children’s books. “For my dad drawing was a spark that came out of nowhere, for me it bloomed because of him,” concluded the artist.

“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.

Using a brick-sized stencil, Pejac formed Fossil – a pixelated tree painted on a brick wall.

“Taking a sturdy structure and familiar urban element as a base, Fossil is proposing a hypothetical fatal future in which the only memory of nature is the fossilized appearance of a tree on a brick wall. Opposing the first work, Inner Strength is an empowering piece portraying another hypothetical future in which nature breaks the barriers imposed by the hand of man, recovering the lost ground along the way,” the artist describes his work.

This LA-based artist finds inspiration in Greek mythology. In a recent interview, he said:

“The characters are symbolic of the kinds of thoughts that lie under the surface of people’s minds, and they reveal that the most extraordinary can exist in the most ordinary of everyday settings. This theme is communicated through the juxtaposition of these ostensibly irrational images with otherwise completely mundane scenes. My idea is that my creatures are not original but are ultimately part of a much larger cultural continuum.”

Spot! is meant to cheer up the patients and visitors of the hospital, as the artist wrote in a Facebook post. “I like to think that the parents, the doctors, the nurses, the staff and the neighbors, will all be smitten by this playful, heroic young dog doing the impossible. Art has actual healing power,” he said.
