Guidebook for New York
Parks & Nature
Favorite park in the city (besides Central park of course). Beautiful views of the skyline. Just walk over the Brooklyn bridge and you'll be right there! For a truly spectacular view, go to the rooftop bar at "1 Hotel - Brooklyn Bridge." It's a $20 cover to go to the roof, but the cocktails at the bar on the 10th floor are amazing!

Walk from the apartment along the East River all the way to Battery Park. You'll pass by Pier 17 (which has a great view and bar - sponsored by Heineken). Grab sea food at any of the local places along the way (we recommend Fish Market if you're looking for a unique NYC experience). Once you reach Battery Park, you'll see stunning views with beautiful gardens and the Statue of Liberty in the distance. If you can keep walking, check out the World Trade Center memorial closeby!

This park is great for morning runs and dog walks. Amazing path along the East River and so close to the apartment! Just walk up to 10th street and take a right - walk over the bridge and you’re there!

Great book store with thrift shop next door. Proceeds go to help fight homelessness and AIDS in New York City. We love this place (we got married here!) and think you will like it too.

Great place for a unique show, right in the East Village. Note there are tons of other small theatres in the area (which we prefer over Broadway).

This is our go-to place for really great inexpensive Thai food. Very closeby, and the staff is very nice. Try checking in on Yelp and you might get a free Thai Iced Tea!

Fun place for good seafood. It can get rowdy and loud as the bartender sometimes likes to give free shots of Jameson.

This is the biggest chain grocery store nearby. Though you can buy many vegetables from the street markets in Chinatown, we like Whole Foods for other things we can't find elsewhere. They also have a bulk section and only use paper bags.
