Things To Do
Central Park
It’s autumn in New York! What could be better?
Celeste
This is our absolute favorite Italian restaurant. If you go, get the pandemia pizza (on the specials menu) and ask for a drizzle of chile oil!
Urbanspace Vanderbilt
Great food court if you're looking for lots of options.
Bryant Park
Grand Central Terminal
The Metropolitan Museum of Art
We went here on our first date! It's also Kyle's "office."
New Cottage
Our most favorite Chinese restaurant. We also went here on our first date. Get the soup dumplings!
Souvlaki GR
We went here on our second date. It went very well.
Los Tacos No. 1
We are obsessed with this place. We find an excuse to go here probably once every two weeks.
Jin Ramen Upper West Side
When it gets cold we develop an addiction to coming here. Really. We’ll be here in February.
Birria-Landia NYC
Laura tried to introduce Kyle to Birria tacos at a different place but they were lame. She knew she new she needed to take him to this food truck instead and she was right.
Bourke Street Bakery
Everything here is amazing.
Shakespeare Garden
Kyle proposed here on a cool Wednesday night in May.
Bluestone Lane
Go here instead of Starbucks please. You’re welcome.
Vanguard Wine Bar
We went here once after we both got our hair styled and felt fabulous. Get the pimento cheese with a crisp white wine.
Café Sabarsky
Go here if you want to feel like you're in Vienna! We love the wiener schnitzel, but it's a great place to go for just dessert and coffee too.
Morgan Library & Museum
Go here if you're someone who wants to feel like they're in Downton Abbey, always loved the library in Beauty and the Beast, or find old manuscripts fascinating.
Emmanuel Anglican
Our home church. Service at 11 a.m. Sunday.
Gelateria Gentile
Authentic gelato, tastes like it's straight from Italy! We recommend the chocolate flavor and almond flavor (mandorle).
Kings Co Imperial LES
We frequently crave the scallion pancakes from here.
Lincoln Center
Via Carota
Insanely good Italian food from the Tuscany region but you might have to stand in line. Put your name in as early as you can and enjoy a drink at Bar Pisselino while you wait.
Mah ze Dahr Bakery
Laura loves the cheesecake here!
La Bonne Soupe
The Smith
Fun spot for delicious American fare.
Greenacre Park
St. Thomas Church
Choral evensong here is celestial. Arguably the best church choir in the country?
Mercado Little Spain
We come here for sangria and gazpacho. Good for groups.
Metropolitan Opera House
The first-ever opera we saw here together was Norma. Nothing incites love like Bel Canto!
Eataly NYC Flatiron
New York Public Library
DIG
Solid fast-casual lunch option. There are lots of these all over the place. Healthy, yet substantive.
sweetgreen
Great salads!
Pret A Manger
Nice fast-casual option for when you're on the go.
Tea & Sympathy
A true English tea spot. Laura saw British actor Rufus Sewell here once.
Swagat
The yummy Indian restaurant where we had our "DTR."
2nd Ave Deli
Best pastrami and corned beef sandwiches ever. Jim Gaffigan and Jerry Seinfeld went here in "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee."
Dominique Ansel Workshop
Creative modern takes on classic French pastries – unbeatable as far as bakeries go. Get THE CUBE. It's Dave Werner's favorite!
