Below 14th Street
renown happen to go to a lot of the same eating place over and over — particularly celebs that do n’t inhabit in New York . Whenever they come into townsfolk , the Kardashians for example , they ’ll always go to the same places . The flip side of that is maybe they know where to go to be seen . Carboneis an obvious example of a eating house that celebrities always love to go to . The most underrated renown stamping ground spot is Supper . It ’s Italian on 156 East Second Street . Celebs have been insure there , but I just feel like it ’s not as well know as Don Angie and Carbone but also has really dependable Italian food .
I think of alsoRay ’s , evidently . It ’s possess by Justin Theroux and Nicholas Braun is also a partner , so there ’s always celebs at Ray ’s . Zoë Kravitz loves Ray ’s . Anytime a celeb is in townsfolk , like Dua Lipa , they always stop by Ray ’s for a drink .
If you ’re in Manhattan and you ’re in Soho or if you ’re in theWest Greenwich Village , you have a better chance of spotting . NoHo , SoHo or the West Village , those are the adept spots where you ’ll have the sound chances of seeing celebs .

Hotels
The Bowery Hotel , of course . Celebs love it . They ’ll hang out in the lobby . They ’ll hang out at the barroom that multitude can walk off the street and go into . It ’s not first-rate discreet . It ’s not a private club . I do n’t inevitably read the allure of why it ’s still so pop .
I would also add Casa Cipriani , which you have to be a member of . The Ned is another one that celebs are at all the time , but you also take to be a extremity . The Mark Hotel , too , there ’s always celebs at the restaurant there as well .
Brooklyn
I think Manhattan is unspoiled for celebrity spotting than Brooklyn because it ’s more condensed . But that ’s the only reason I cerebrate that . There are tons of celebs in Brooklyn . I think a lot of celebs live in Brooklyn , but things lean to be a lilliputian more spread out .
I intend that the " Sunday Spotted " part of my Instagram bill has really helped me get ahead of the curve ball . For model , I come out hearing aboutLaser Wolfin Brooklyn a couple of months ago and now I ’m hearing about it a sight more . I would say that it ’s definitely an up - and - fall [ famous person hangout ] spotlight .
A lot of the great unwashed are fit to Brooklyn more , which is unspoiled because I think Brooklyn actually has really good eatery . There ’s the Italian eatery that Pete Davidson bed where he take Kim Kardashian to last yr , Lilia . And there ’s Cafe Mogador . It ’s a house - run Moroccan and Middle Eastern Restaurant . Those three place that I had n’t really ever pick up of , I begin buzz off fame sighting there a couple months before it started ramping up .

DeuxMoi’s celebrity spotting advice
I conceive that if someone wants to spy a celebrity , they just really have to be alert and keep their center open because they ’re in all likelihood passing a celebrity on the street . specially if you ’re in any of those neighborhoods that I identify . If you ’ve lived here your whole liveliness and you ’ve never go steady a celeb , of line you have , but you just did n’t notice .
