Things To Do
Brooklyn Bridge
A walk across the Brooklyn Bridge is a must!
The Metropolitan Museum of Art
Make sure to check out the installation on the roof and have a drink overlooking Central Park!
The Loeb Boathouse
Rent a boat and row around the Lake. Take a picture at Bethesda Fountain afterwards - it's one of Rachel's favorite spots in the city.
Central Park Zoo
Great zoo in the middle of Central Park!
Jane's Carousel
Located in Brooklyn Bridge Park. Great views of the city! Grimaldi's Pizzeria is just a short walk.
Staten Island Ferry
Take the ferry over to Staten Island (it's free!). You'll get amazing views of the city. Get back onto the ferry once you get to Staten Island and head back for a drink at Pier A Harbor House.
Vessel
Huge spiral staircase overlooking the Hudson River (reserve tickets online). Walk down the High Line after checking it out!
The High Line
Really nice walk along the west side. Start at the 34th St entrance and walk down to the end (Gansevoort St). Get a drink after at the Standard Biergarten and an ice cream at Ample Hills!
Roosevelt Island
Take the Roosevelt Island Tram from 2nd Ave & 60th St. There is a really nice park at the bottom of the island. Take the ferry from the island to downtown Manhattan.
Governors Island
Rent bikes and ride around the island. Stop at Island Oyster for a drink and a great view of downtown Manhattan!
Coney Island
Take a ride on the Cyclone - the oldest wooden rollercoaster!
Yankee Stadium
Yankees are in town! Check out a game and watch the best team in baseball!
Citi Field
While the Yankees are the best team in NY, Citi Field is a better ballpark. The Mets host the Yankees in the Subway Series early in the week.
Rosemary's
One of our favs. Get the Octopus Salame!
Pig Beach
Outdoor BBQ spot. Great for the kids too!
The Royal Palms Shuffleboard Club
Really fun bar with games and shuffleboard. Check out the website beforehand to see what food truck is being featured!
Bar Pitti
Rachel's favorite Italian restaurant. Keep in mind it's cash only, but definitely worth it. You may even see a celeb or two!
Grand Banks Boat Bar
Have an Aperol Spritz, enjoy the view. You won't be disappointed.
Shuka
It's all good!
Wayan
Amazing Balinese food. The Gado Gado is incredible!
H&H Bagels
You can't go to NY without having a bagel! This spot is a Skolnick family favorite.
The Brooklyn Barge
Amazing views of Manhattan!
