SeeUrban Park
🌳Central Park
4.8Central Park is a must see when traveling to Manhattan. There are several coffee shops lining each side of the park so you could grab a coffee on your way into the park for those cold winter days.
SeeElevated Park
🏙️High Line
4.7Walking the highline is a great way to see some of the city. Just try to go during off-times (late in the evening, early morning
SeeHistorical Landmark
🗽Statue of Liberty
4.7You can pay to go to island, or go up the statue of liberty, but the view is just as cool from the Staten Island Ferry which is free
SeeWaterfront Park
🗽Battery Park
4.6By strolling through Battery Park, you can get one of the best views in the city of the Statue of Liberty
SeeEntertainment District
🌆Times Square
4.6While this is one of the most known tourist locations of Manhattan, it is still worth a visit. The view is breathaking. Just watch out for locals who will elbow you out of the way, and scammers.
EatIce cream shop
🍦Morgenstern’s Ice Cream
4.9I just discovered this Lower East Side gem a few days ago. Think old fashioned ice cream parlor… but new. Reinvented. The flavors are crazy unique (When we went we tried and loved the Salted Caramel Pretzel, Raw Milk, Salt and Pepper Pinenut, and Angel Food Vanilla). The toppings, stored in glass apothecary jars (way cool), are equally amazing. The caramel was some of the best I’ve tasted.
EatJapanese
🍜Ippudo Ramen
4.8a more classic, traditional approach to ramen, Ippudo serves up perfect bowls of the stuff every time. I love the spicy one. There are two locations, one in the East Village and right in the Times Square area.
EatDeli
🥪Russ and Daughter
4.8the bagels are actually just okay, but you are here for their lox sandwiches (with scallion cream cheese)… and they are legendary. Russ & Daughters is a super famous Lower East Side establishment that’s been in business for 100 years. That’s a long time to be on the top in NYC. And expect a line… there is always a well-deserved wait for these sandwiches.
EatFast Food
🍕Pizza
4.8A quick Google search will indicate the nearest $1 pizza joint. New York is littered with them, and they are amazing.
EatAsian Fusion Restaurant
🍥Momofuku
4.7These days, the city is littered with a wealth of pork buns -- but the often imitated, never duplicated OG bun is surprisingly simple: steamed bao, roasted pork belly, cucumbers, and scallions. The proportions are perfect; it’s savory and sweet; and it puts food market copycats to shame.
EatRamen restaurant
🍥Ivan Ramen
4.7you wouldn’t think a Jew from Long Island would end up becoming one of the world’s leading experts on ramen. After his creative and unique ramen blew up big time in Tokyo, Ivan Orkin brought his ramen to NYC in two locations. It’s darn good. And looking for something different? Try one of his mazemens, which is less brothy than the traditional ramen.
EatMediterranean
🧆Taim
4.6home to the best falafel in NYC, Taim has an incredible falafel sandwich. It’s my buddy Tyler’s favorite sandwich in the city. There are a few locations scattered around the city.
DrinkSpeakeasy
🥂Employees Only
4.8Employees Only was one of the city’s first not-so-secret, super-popular NYC speakeasies, and it’s a favorite among bartenders and other industry folks, thanks to a kitchen that’s open ‘til 3:30am. It’s the sort of place that inspires devotion: Every bartender here has the Employees Only logo tattooed on them, and even barbacking is a coveted position.
DrinkHotel
🍻Carlyle Hotel
4.6Visiting the bar at the Carlyle Hotel is like stepping into old New York. The drinks are expensive, the ceiling is covered in gold leaf, and the waiters are all in white jackets.
DrinkNightclub
