Things To Do
USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center
The US Open is in full swing over our wedding weekend, with matches running August 30 through September 13 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, Queens. Day sessions and evening sessions are both available — even if you're not a tennis fan, the energy and atmosphere are truly one of a kind.
Madison Square Garden
If you haven't already heard, Harry Styles is in the middle of a 30-night residency at Madison Square Garden this fall. Shows take place on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays — so there will be performances right around the wedding weekend. Tickets are hot, so grab them early if you're interested!
P.J. Clarke's On The Hudson
Charlotte's favorite place for Girl Dinner - martini, caesar salad, and some french fries. Enjoy sitting on the water and the people watching!
The High Line
An elevated park built on a historic freight rail line, winding through the West Side with sweeping Hudson River views and rotating art installations. Part garden, part people-watching paradise — a perfect only-in-NYC stroll. The elevated park runs from Gansevoort St (Meatpacking District) to 34th St (near Hudson Yards).
Smorgasburg
NYC's beloved open-air food market runs all weekend with 70+ vendors. Saturdays in Williamsburg, Sundays in Prospect Park, and Thursdays & Fridays at the World Trade Center — all open 11am–6pm. Come hungry!
Galerie Bar
Visit our first date spot in Tribeca for a crispy glass of Sancerre or a spicy margarita (our faves).
Sushi Lin SoHo
Our favorite special date night omakase dinner - you won't be disappointed!
Hop on Hop off Bus Tours
The easiest way to hit all the classics without any planning. Double-decker buses loop through Manhattan's major landmarks — Times Square, Central Park, the Brooklyn Bridge, and more — so guests can jump on and off at their own pace. Tickets start around $60 for 24 hours.
Circle Line Sightseeing Cruises
See the skyline the way it's meant to be seen — from the water! Circle Line departs from Pier 83 in Midtown Manhattan and offers several options depending on how much time you have. Choose from a 60-minute Liberty Midtown Cruise, a 90-minute Landmarks Cruise, a 2-hour Harbor Lights evening cruise, or the 2.5-hour Best of NYC Cruise that fully circles the island. Early September weather makes the sunset and evening cruises especially beautiful.
