Parks & Nature

Better than Central Park! Why? Because it was designed by the same guys, only they didn't let the politicians wreck it this time. Take a walk through some of the trails that connect the various meadows and enjoy a peaceful slice of solitude in an otherwise sleepless city.

This is a must-see if you are visiting NYC. Running from the Meatpacking District by the Whitney Museum, all the way to 34th St, this is a one of a kind elevated park that affords a view of the city unlike any other. Great all year round.

This would be one of the greatest museums in any city where it not in NYC. Overshadowed by it's Manhattan contempories this is no less of an essential stop when you're in town. The food and cocktail scenes on nearby Vanderbilt and Franklin Ave's make it worth the time too.

What a collection! And the location is spectacular too. Take the time to explore the nearby Meatpacking District and be sure to hike up the HIghline while you're here.

I like to eat truffle popcorn and drink boozy shakes with my movie, that's why. You book your seat in advance and don't have to worry about getting there early. Insider tip - the front row are all lazy-boy-like recliners. Sure you're up close, but it's oh-so comfortable....

It's not just a bowling alley! Food provided by the folks from Blue Ribbon (the fried chicken is amazing!) and tunes spun by QuestLove (The Roots, The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon) on Thursday's (he's quite the DJ) make this place worth the visit.
