Alumnifire  Online platform, based in New York What it is: A superior professional networking platform for college alumni. Why it's cool: Many college graduates don't take advantage of their alumni networks, but they should, as nine out of 10 alums would prefer to hire fellow alums. Alumnifire aims to offer a more usable alumni network. Alumnifire allows users to post discussion topics and to private message one another with the end goal of helping connect more job hunters with those hiring.
B.E.C.  148 Eighth Ave., Chelsea, Manhattan What it is: A bacon, egg, and cheese mecca. Why it's cool: The mac-and-cheese of breakfast foods has found a home in NYC. Bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches have long been a comfort food, but B.E.C. is taking it to the gourmet level. B.E.C. combines toppings like tomato compote with pickled jalepeños to make its bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches desirable far past the breakfast hour. They also offer a selection of hearty soups and salads throughout the day.
Bierleichen  582 Seneca Ave., Ridgewood, Queens What it is: A heavy-metal German-style beer hall. Why it's cool: Queens' new beer bar offers 10 beers on tap, delicious German food such as bratwurst and pretzels, and live music. If you're not feeling the meat and potatoes, never fear — the bar also offers vegan, gluten-free, and soy-free sausages. And it's all guilt-free, as part of Bierleichen's proceeds go to New York City's Coalition Against Hunger.
