The home mall both Danielle and Steven grew up going to. Also close to the wedding venue!
Our preferred beach - just pay for parking! We recommend field 6, but if its full go to field 5. The annual Jones Beach Airshow will occur on Sunday, July 5, and Monday, July 6, 2026, to celebrate America's 250th birthday.

Have a picnic on the Great Lawn, rent rowboats at the boathouse, stroll through Strawberry Fields, visit Bethesda Terrace and Fountain, check out the Central Park Zoo, or go to a nearby museum (P.S. the Met is Danielle's fav).
We highly recommend a day in the Meat Packing District including a stop at Little Island, Chelsea Market, City Winery and the Highline if you're up for it!
Contrary to what most other New Yorkers will tell you, we highly encourage a visit to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. But please note tickets must be purchased ahead of time at cityexperiences.com/new-york/city-cruises/statue/

If you are open to heading up state, we highly recommend this as the best luxury outlet mall not far from Steven's medical school.
