Travel Note

J&J’s favorite spots and tour guide

Must See Spots in Manhattan: Go for a walk through Central Park These 4 are in close proximity Take a view of the Vessel before walking down the Highline Walk above street level on The Highline all the way to Chelsea Market Explore the food and stores of Chelsea Market (try Very Fresh Noodles) Check out the unique park on Little Island right outside of Chelsea market These 2 are in close proximity Explore the sights and views in Chinatown Meander through Little Italy for a cannoli, pizza, and an espresso Get a bite to eat or drink in South Street Seaport - then take the $4 ferry from there (at Pier 11) up to 90 St and see the city skyline during the night or day (Pro-tip download the app) Escape the city by going to Roosevelt Island and get there by the tram for a fun view Walk across the Brooklyn Bridge Must Eat Foods and some of our Favorite Restaurants: Katz Deli - for the best pastrami sandwich Breads bakery - for the best chocolate babka Pizza - we have no recs here because you should stop in ANY Italian pizza shop you see, even if it looks like a hole in a wall. Get a regular slice with sauce and cheese. Don’t go to the Instagram famous ones like Artichoke with lots of toppings, they’re overrated and not classic NY. Also, here in NY we call them pizza pies so you may hear “one large pie!?” We’ll never admit it but we also the 99cent pizza places. Unregular pizza - you gotta try their fried pasta! Bagels - so many good options: B&B bagels, Kossars, Ess-a-Bagel, Liberty Bagel, pop up bagels 12 chairs - Israeli restaurant which is a dinner and a party! It has great vibes especially if you got for a late dinner! Make a reservation! Maman - French breakfast place with everything from great coffee to pastries to breakfast sandwiches New York has much more to offer than we can list here! Explore the museums, broadway shows, comedy, and more!
