Things To Do
Morgenstern’s Finest Ice Cream
This might just be the best ice cream in NYC. It's worth waiting in the (inevitably long) line.
LOS TACOS No.1
Stonewall National Monument
Take advantage of being in the Village during Pride month and visit this historic landmark
Talea Beer Co. West Village
Women-owned brewery with lots of sour and fruit-inspired beers (which we love!)
McNulty's Tea & Coffee Co
The oldest tea shop in NYC, nestled in the heart of Greenwich Village.
Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer - SoHo
Over the top milkshakes, big enough to share (or not)!
Hudson River Greenway
Beautiful park and walking/bike paths along the Hudson River. You can find us here on most Saturday mornings in the summer doing our long runs!
City Vineyard
Wine and bites on the Hudson River Greenway with plenty of outdoor seating and waterfront views
The High Line
Elevated railway repurposed as a public greenway. Go early to avoid the crowds!
Chelsea Market
Off the High Line, Chelsea Market (home of the Oreo) is a historic building repurposed with lots of shops and food options to explore
Patent Pending
Shocker that two patent attorneys love the drinks here. Speakeasy cocktail bar at the former home of Nikola Tesla.
Jongro BBQ
Our preferred Korean BBQ spot in K-Town
Bryant Park
Iconic NYC park and location of our first date! Grab a seat and people watch, or visit the beautiful NYC Public Library.
The Campbell
Secluded bar above Grand Central with old New York vibes. Try the espresso martini!
SUMMIT One Vanderbilt
Venture to the top floors of One Vanderbilt for sweeping views of NYC from all directions. Not recommended for those afraid of heights!
Ping’s
Classic dim sum in the heart of Chinatown.
Fraunces Tavern
Historic tavern where George Washington gave his farewell address after the Revolutionary War. Great food and museum.
Stone Street
Around the corner from Fraunces Tavern is a small cobblestoned street with an abundance of bars to choose from!
South Street Seaport
Historic waterfront neighborhood with great shops and restaurants! We recommend Cafe Patoro for coffee and pao de queijo (Brazilian cheesy breads--this is where we end many of our marathon training runs!), The Little Shop for a clever speakeasy, Industry Kitchen for outdoor waterfront dining (we had one of our early outdoor-dining pandemic dates here!), or the Tin Building for baked goods. There's also a museum for those interested in the nautical history of downtown Manhattan.
Liberty Bagels Wall Street
Instagrammable bagels and breakfast sandwiches. Try the red, white, and blue rainbow bagel!
Smorgasburg WTC
Open air food market at the World Trade Center Oculus, open on Fridays 11-7. Come hungry!
NYC Ferry (Pier 11 / Wall St.)
The NYC ferry is our preferred method of transportation! Convenient and comfortable way to cross the East River with some incredible views.
Smorgasburg Williamsburg
Open air food market on the waterfront in Williamsburg on Saturdays 11-6. Highly recommend the Good Batch ice cream cookie sandwiches and the duck fat poutine fries! We sometimes end our long runs here :)
Time Out Market New York
An easy way to sample lots of NYC's greatest foods at this food hall with a great view of the Brooklyn bridge!
Juliana’s Pizza
Better than Grimaldi's IMO
St. Mazie Bar & Supper Club
Great spot for cocktails and dinner with live jazz music.
Paulie Gee's
One of our favorite pizza spots. Try the Brisket Five-O with gouda, beef brisket from Hometown BBQ in Red Hook, and pickled pineapple!
THE BARONESS burgers + beers
Worth the trip to LIC for these incredible burgers. Highly recommend the french onion soup burger!
Focal Point Beer Co
One of LIC's many excellent breweries
The Gutter Bar LIC
Our local bowling (and bar) spot. You can find us here every Tuesday night with our bowling team, Motion to Strike!
Donovan's Pub
If you find yourself deeper into Queens, this Irish pub has some of the best classic burgers in NYC! We recommend also getting a Shepard's Pie for the table to share...
