NYC Parks

 We are obviously big fans of hanging out in parks.

           Central Park – always entertainment going on, best in spring / summer

           Horse and Buggy Ride in Central Park – overpriced, but still popular ($50)

           Battery Park – excellent views of Financial District skyscrapers, Statue of Liberty and East Side bridges

           Pier A in Hoboken – Not technically in Manhattan, but incredible views of the Hudson River and NYC

           Bryant Park – catch a movie under the stars during the summer or grab some lunch

           Washington Square – near NYU campus & boutique shops & restuarants

           Union Square – people watching & sometimes street entertainment

           High Line Park – NYC’s best creative park

Eating in NYC

 With restaurants, bars and clubs changing so rapidly in NYC, we avoided adding much to this section.

           Brunch at The Boat House in Central Park – best in summer/spring

           Pizza, almost anywhere minus Sbarro’s /            Grimaldi’s Pizza in Brooklyn

           Becco NYC – My favorite Italian restaurant

           Street Food – falafel, hot dog, roasted nuts, kabobs, pretzels, dumplings, the list is endless

           Meat Packing District – fine dinning and posh night clubs

           Time Warner Center – for fine dinning and cocktails
