Things To Do
Welcome to NYC!
We’re so excited you’re here to celebrate with us. Whether you’re in town for a few days or a week, we’ve pulled together our favorite things to do, eat, and explore. You’ll find incredible restaurants (from bagels to pasta to the city’s best burger), skyline views, rooftop drinks, Broadway shows (including two designed by Gary!), and classic New York experiences like ferry rides and the Roosevelt Island gondola. Scroll below for our top picks across neighborhoods — including brunch spots, ramen joints, pizza, coffee, and cocktails. We’ve noted which places need reservations and which are walk-in friendly. Have fun, eat well, and let us know if you need help picking a spot. We’re so glad you’re here!
