We suggest entering from the Upper West side at 72nd street but before you go in, stop at Levain bakery and grab one of their famous cookies for your walk. They give the Egan chocolate chip cookies a run for their money! Central Park is one of the most iconic parts of New York City. Amidst all the chaos it is a beautiful little oasis. Raj and Jules shared their first pizza here, visited the zoo, picnicked, and just enjoy walking around on a nice day!
There is nothing quite like the views from the Empire State Building. An icon in and of itself, this NYC treasure is definitely one to hit on your first trip!

The Highline in NYC is an old train track that has been repurposed into a beautiful pedestrian walkway. You can start at the Chelsea Market and grab tacos and Los Tacos No. 1 and then walk along while taking in the views of the city and the Hudson River.
Towards the end of The Highline on the north side, you can walk a few blocks over to the newly installed "little island". Built on a previous pier on the west side of Manhattan, it is now a beautiful park with stunning views and provides amazing backdrops for great photos.
Walking the Brooklyn Bridge was an activity that Raj and Jules did on Raj's first visit to the city. It provides stunning views of the Manhattan skyline and helps you get your steps in for the day! You can stop for a bite or drink on either side (Industry Kitchen or Pier 17 on the Manhattan side, or Time Out Market on the Brooklyn side - Bonus: there is a rooftop bar here!).
We're not just a city that never sleeps - we're also the city that laughs deliriously! Top tier comedians constantly come through NYC so there is no shortage of people to see. This is a NYC must for those who are looking for a more local experience.
An underground speakeasy that hosts some of the top jazz artists in the city, the Django is a truly unique NYC experience. You'll soak in the Parisienne boîtes atmosphere while listening to rising stars and seasoned performers alike. *Please note, reservations are required for this venue.
Jules and Raj's favorite spot, the Willy Wall is all about going with the flow where you'll be able to unwind from the hustle and bustle of the NYC streets. This bar is on a floating barge anchored in the middle of the Hudson River. The views of downtown Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty are unbeatable - and you'll even be able to peek the venue! Since there is no food service, you can bring your own snacks and bites while drinks are available for purchase on site. *Please note, this is a ticketed item that must be purchased ahead of time.
