Visit the dinosaurs and blue whale, Nick's favorites! This is where we took our engagement photos.

Broadway Theatre

We've seen incredible shows on and off-broadway like The Book of Mormon, The Phantom of the Opera, Hamilton, and Wicked.

Central Park

New York, NY

A must-see if you've never visited New York. You can spend all day seeing iconic sights, like The Plaza Hotel, visit The Metropolitan Museum of Art, check out the Imagine Mosaic dedicated to John Lennon, or enjoy a delicious meal at Tavern on the Green.

Starbucks Reserve - Empire State Building

350 5th Avenue, New York, NY 10118

Tacombi

23 West 33rd Street, New York, NY 10001

Tacombi is a Mexican company founded in the Yucatan. If you're looking for some great tacos, this location is at the base of the Empire State Building so grab some great food and drinks while taking a break from sightseeing

An incredible museum that has ancient and modern art exhibits from all over the world, including Egyptian art (and mummies!) and contemporary art pieces like Judy Chicago's "The Dinner Party". You are also close to Nick's dad's pharmacy, S&T Pharmacie, so stop by and say hi!

Brooklyn Bridge Park

Oheka Castle

135 West Gate Drive, Huntington, NY 11743

For the Swifties coming to visit, this is where Taylor Swift filmed her music video, "Blank Space". Schedule a tour where they can show you some incredible things. Not a Swiftie? Oheka Castle has also been used for many popular films and TV shows, including Succession and the movie Citizen Kane.

The Purple Elephant

Huntington is a beautiful Long Island town with a lot to offer. Besides visiting Oheka Castle, there are state parks, beaches, museums, and shopping at Walt Whitman Shops. For science enthusiasts, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory is about 10 minutes away, where many scientists made key discoveries in the fields of molecular biology and genetics.

Thai Shack East Restaurant
