Walk along the High Line for beautiful views and art. Starts in the West Village and ends in Hudson Yards (which has great shopping!).
One of the best museums for modern art (and less crowded than MoMA).
Take a walk along the water - there is putt putt on Pier 25, food court and rooftop on Pier 37, and don't forget to wander around the Little Island! There are also several playgrounds and dog parks!
Grab food, go shopping, people watch! This is one of our favorite spots, and there are plenty of other stores around if you are in a shopping mood. Did you know clothing items under $100 are tax free in NYC?
Check out our local farmer's market on Saturday morning. We love the fresh baked goods and the flower stand.
Are you looking to try buzzy, quintessential brunch spots? Check out Cafe Cluny (our next door neighbor - make a res!), Buvette (walk-in only), and La Bonbonniere (walk-in only, cash only - seen in Marvelous Mrs. Maisel). Looking for something with a little less hype but just as tasty? Check out Bus Stop Cafe (walk-in only), Banter (walk-in only), Rosemary's (make a res), Miriam (make a res), and Cafe Luna (walk-in only). Want something more casual or grab and go? Manifest a short line at Apollo Bagels to try the best in the city, or check out Edith's for delicious breakfast sandwiches. We also love Hungry Llama or grabbing a pastry from any of the local coffee shops and eating it in a park or along the water. And if you want to leave the neighborhood, some of our favorite brunch spots are Russ & Daughters, Golden Unicorn (dim sum), Golden Diner, Yellow Rose, Bubby's, Barney Greengrass, Cafe Maud, Cafe Mogador.
Head over early to Brooklyn before the wedding and walk around the promenade for beautiful skyline views (don't worry, we'll have amazing views at our wedding reception too!).
