THE FAMILIAR LIST:
MANHATTAN, New york
Last updated: FEB 20th, 2026
New York moves fast. But familiarity slows it down.
This list is a collection of places that feel close to the heart of our New York team at 7115. Not the trendiest, loudest, or most photographed but the spots we return to again and again. For comfort. For a good meal. For a moment of stillness. They’ve become part of our rhythm here, helping us move with more care and intention. These are the places we’d recommend to a close friend, or someone visiting from out of town. The places that feel like home, in the middle of it all.
