Top Things to See and Do in NYC:
Empire State Building: Get a bird’s eye view of New York city from atop one of the tallest buildings in the world and you can even visit at night to see the city all lit up!
Central Park: A great way to relax in the city and leave behind the crowds. Central Park covers almost 40 blocks and consists of many walkways in the park. You can visit the Central Park Zoo, take a horse and carriage ride (we highly recommend), visit iconic figures, bow bridge, or the carousel, and stroll through the cherry blossom trees. We suggest lunch at the Tavern on the Green or The Boathouse restaurant.
Times Square: Times Square is amazing! Picture flashing neon lights and giant digital billboards as you walk along 42nd street. There are many retailers, TKTS which offers 50% off broadway tickets, and the amazing NYCGO booth!
9/11 Memorial and Museum: The National September 11 Memorial Museum at the World Trade Center honors the nearly 3,000 victims of the terrorist attacks and all those who risked their lives to save others. It further recognizes the thousands who survived and those who acted with extraordinary compassion in the aftermath.
One World Observatory: The One World building is the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere, on levels 100, 101, and 102 of the 1,776 foot tall One World Trade Center building, One World Observatory provides unique, panoramic views of New York City, its most iconic sites, and the Hudson. Make sure to check out the new OCULUS mall by World Trade! It is beautiful!
See a Broadway: We recommend seeing The Lion King on Broadway, Hamilton, Aladdin, Wicked, and Elf! You really can’t go wrong, the broadways in New York are outstanding!
Little Italy– Do not miss LUNA restaurant in Little Italy! This is our FAVORITE restaurant! Check out their menu https://locu.com/places/luna-ristorante-new-york-us/#menu and do not forget to order their famous homemade sangria pitchers! They have the absolute best customer service, sangria, and pizza in the city! The interior is cozy and lit up with live music and delicious food and let us tell you the pizza is top notch! It makes us hungry writing about it!
Beetle House: This place is a new bar inspired by Tim Burton. It is a very unique bar and worth a visit! The drinks are incredible here. You must order the Beetle Juice. It is tasty! Beetlejuice and Edward Scissor Hands may creep up on you if you are not looking as well. The only downside to this place is it is very small and crowded.
Our Top Restaurant Recommendation:
One if By Land, Two if By Sea: This restaurant is voted the 5th most romantic restaurant in the world and let us tell you, it lives up to it! The interior of the restaurant is filled with romantic candle lighting and dim lights. They have a live pianist and the service is beyond expectation. The food is a bit pricey but well worth it. The beef wellington and lobster dish was our favorite. The setting is intimate and perfect for a special occassion with your loved one. Make resservations at http://oneifbyland.com
