Things To Do
Prospect Park
This is where we had our first date. Take a beautiful walk among baby strollers, angry bikers, suspected dogs killers and a host of other characters NYC has to offer.
The Green-Wood Cemetery
Greenwood is a great spot to escape the noise and chaos of the city. You can peacefully get lost for hours and get great ideas for tombstones.
Yankee Stadium
So, the Yankees will actually be in LA this weekend for a three-game series against the god-forsaken Dodgers. Kyle still wanted to throw this out there as a recommendation because, honestly, Yankee Stadium feels like a second home to him.
Brooklyn Botanic Garden
Another great spot to escape the chaos of the city. We've had a lot of great dates here and some that were just okay.
Brooklyn Bridge Park
If you’re looking for a different spot to stroll and people-watch, this park is right on the water and offers fantastic views of the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan. For a longer walking tour, start at Pier 6, walk the length of the park, then head up and cross the Brooklyn Bridge. From there, make your way to Chinatown for some delicious, budget-friendly eats
Sunset Park
Sunset Park is a cool neighborhood in Brooklyn with really great Chinese and Latino food. It also has a park, aptly named Sunset Park, that has amazing views of Manhattan. It's a great spot if you're looking to get away from crowds and tourists and be around everyday New Yorkers. As the name suggests, it also showcases amazing sunsets.
Ivan Ramen
If you’ve ever visited Kyle in the city, chances are he has taken you here. This was Kyle’s first stop every time he landed in NYC, and it’s the restaurant he’s eaten at more than any other. If you can, grab a seat at the counter and soak in the atmosphere—it’s all part of the experience.
Dirty Precious
This place has amazing cocktails and a great atmosphere.
Blueprint
Another great spot for food and cocktails.
Fried Dumpling
Delicious and cheap dumplings. A great excuse to go to Chinatown.
Jongro BBQ
Korean BBQ is our go to when we have friends visiting. It's a fun experience, the food is fantastic, and you can explore K-town in Manhattan.
Giuseppina's
This spot has great, no-frills brick oven pizza. Good for a sit down dinner, not for slices.
Tacos El Bronco
Excellent taco spot in Sunset Park. At the 4th ave location you can have a sit down meal complete with chips and salsa and great hot sauces. If you're out an about, there is a food truck on 5th avenue, which I've heard is even better. It's also close to the park, so you can eat tacos as the sun sets.
