Things To Do
SUMMIT One Vanderbilt
Unlike any other NYC observation deck, Summit blends art, technology, and panoramic views, making it a must-visit for those who want more than just a pretty view—this is a full-body, immersive adventure in the clouds.
Hudson Yards Mall
Sprawling retail space featuring more than 100 shops & 25 restaurants, many from celebrity chefs. Matt and I visited during the holidays and they had a lot of pretty lights, but the mall is great year-round.
Friends Apartment Building
How you doin?!
Shopping in Soho
Designer boutiques, fancy chain stores and high-end art galleries make trendy SoHo a top shopping destination. Known for its elegant cast-iron-facades and cobblestone streets. During the day, street vendors sell everything from jewelry to original artwork.
Central Park
Sprawling park with pedestrian paths & ballfields, plus a zoo, carousel, boat rentals & a reservoir.
Top Food Recommendations
Katz's Delicatessen 205 E Houston St, New York, NY 10002 Open 24 hrs. A few tips: Make sure everyone who comes in grabs a ticket. You will need the ticket to order and to exit the venue, even if you don't order any food (so don't lose it). There are multiple butcher stations. Pick a line and it's smart to tip before you start ordering so they know to give you samples and better cuts of meat. Pro Tip: Order the pastrami on club bread. Joe's Pizza 7 Carmine St, New York, NY 10014 They have multiple locations though.
