Things To Do
The High Line
Built on a historic, elevated rail line, the High Line is a car-free walkway with gardens, art, architecture and food options. It starts in Midtown West and goes down to the Meatpacking District. Some of our favorite things to check out along the way: - Hudson Yards, including Edge, Vessel, shopping & restaurants - Chelsea Market (shopping, restaurants - we recommend Los Tacos) - Little Island - Whitney Museum of Art
9/11 Memorial & Museum
The memorial pools are free and you can buy tickets for the museum in advance online.
Buvette Gastrotheque
Head over to the West Village and try Brian's favorite croque madame!
Eataly NYC Flatiron
A vibrant Italian market with an array of cafes, to-go counters, sit-down restaurants and more. Head up to the rooftop and have lunch at SERRA by Birreria (reservations advised)!
City Vineyard
Wine on tap and made right here in NYC. Enjoy a tasting flight, along with some small bites while overlooking the Hudson River. There is an outdoor patio and rooftop if the weather is nice!
Bubby's
Comfort food with a southern flair. Must get the biscuits to start! Great for brunch, but aim to be there by 10 am because they do not do reservations on the weekends!
Visit the Museums!
New York City is home to some of the most amazing museums in the world. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the American Museum of Natural History, the Museum of Modern Art, and even the Museum of Ice Cream are just a few options to explore.
Nolita
If you want to shop, Broadway in SoHo has tons of great stores, but is very busy. Just north is Nolita (stands for North of Little Italy) where there are a bunch of neat stores and a very cool sculpture garden (Elizabeth Street Garden). Grab a slice of pizza at Prince Street Pizza and take it to the garden to eat.
