Andy Cohen has lived in the West Village for 28 years and here are some of his favorites, including where he gets his haircut. According to him, Bonsignour, has incredible fresh blueberry muffins and Via Carota has the best house salad in the city. His “sweet neighborhood pet store,” BeastyFeast is where he takes his beloved dog, Wacha to be groomed and for treats. Other spots on his list include Casa Magazines, where he likes “random gay magazines from the UK” and Li-Lac Chocolates for “fresh dark chocolate that is to die for.”
For American comedian, writer and actress, Ilana Glazer, she highlights her favorite spots from parks to pasta. According to Glazer, Washington Square Park is one of her favorite parks (particularly the East catwalk) and it is where she met her husband.

One of the more surprising spots is Harlem Haberdashery, a clothing store she goes to for her “custom wardrobe” needs.
