Things To Do
Fraunces Tavern
This is our favorite NYC restaurant! It is a cozy and historic restaurant/pub in the Financial district. The food is quality, the staff is great, and it is perfect for a nice dinner or a drink. This was even George Washington's favorite bar!
Time Out Market New York
This is a great spot on the waterfront in Brooklyn with views of both Manhattan and Brooklyn bridge as well as the NYC skyline. It has tons of great NY restaurants inside and multiple bars. We recommend taking the ferry there and ordering the mac n cheese from Jacob’s Pickles!
Central Park
Yes, this one is obvious but if/when you go, we recommend strolling past Strawberry Fields. If you’re lucky, a busker will be singing Imagine as you walk by.
Staten Island Ferry
This is a free ferry ride from Lower Manhattan which runs 24 hours a day. This ferry gives you some of the best views of the Manhattan skyline and an up close look at our Lady Liberty!
The High Line
The High Line is an elevated rail line which has been transformed into a public park on Manhattan's West Side. We love the Highline because it offers unbelievable views of Manhattan, you literally walk between some of the biggest skyscrapers in New York. The Highline is also a convenient and relaxing 1 mile walk which avoids crosswalks which tend to slow down the process a lot when venturing around Manhattan.
Grand Central Terminal
Grand Central is the largest train station in the world. You're likely thinking, "why would I go and look at a train station". This was the very first train station I (Jamie) arrived in when first moving to America. I was blown away with how amazing it looked when I got off the train. I am pretty confident that anyone who sees Grand Central for the first time will be absolutely blown away.
