2. Enjoy private dining from a famous singer’s parents: Joanne Trattoria

Upper West Side, NYC

You might not know it but this restaurant is actually named after an iconic star: Lady Gaga. The singer’s parents opened a classic NY Italian restaurant with a little something for everyone. While Italian cuisine is known for being far from vegan or gluten-free, this restaurant has an inclusive menu for all to enjoy. If you are in the mood for entertainment (no, it won’t be Lady Gaga), you can catch the weekly cabaret and drag show or occasional jazz artists.


Joanne Trattoria holds private dining events for 15-85 guests.

Upper West Side, NYC

Empellon’s no-frills menu is bursting with flavors. It offers all the classic taqueria staples: (you guessed it) tacos, burritos, chips and guacamole, queso, and nachos.

They have a few classic styles, including unique grapefruit, spicy cucumber, and “por que no,” featuring pineapple, serrano, and cilantro. Grab a pitcher, a taco (or eight), and some friends for a taco Tuesday you won’t forget.
