A beautiful park and a must see for any visitor. It's perfect when you just want to sit on a bench and read a book or do some people watching. On nice days you can find all sorts of live music too.
Home to a free summer music festival since 1953, where music “usually heard in the sanctity (some might say imprisonment) of small concert halls” mixes with the elements, as described in 1987. Read more.
Girls happened here. Marnie, Shoshanna, and Ray discussed Jessa's flakiness and Shosh ran into a "vintage" rollerblading classmate.
The best bookstore in the city. 4 floors with tons and tons of books from best sellers to rare unknowns. Find some gems in the $1 section and carry them home in one of their famous tote bags.

You will get a variety of comics in one night & some cameos! Awesome!! We loved it!
Best comedy club in NYC. Every time I've gone a big name shows up to surprise the crowd with a set (like Louis CK, Damon Wayans &Colin Quinn). Always a fun time.
If you've never been to a comedy club, make sure you come here for your first time. Great talent in a fun and interactive environment. Big name comics often do sets on any given night too!
Best coffee place in the city. All their coffee comes fresh from their Brooklyn roastery. Awesome surroundings, superb barristas. The most passionate coffee peeps in Manhattan. Get pumped!

Finish your night with some great blues music in an up-close-and-personal setting.

Another great NYC comic shop, chocked full of great books and merch
The dry aged Black Label Burger is relatively expensive but definitely top 3 burger of New York if not the best!
Though it’s not quite the same as it was when F. Scott Fitzgerald hung out here (along with contemporaries like Ernest Hemingway), you can soak in the old-timey ambience—assuming you can get a table. Read more.
I came with four friends and the waitress said it best: "Get 2 burgers and get them split so you can each have half. Order the steak & we'll slice it and then pick something else to share." Bestest.
Love staying at The Walker hotel! ❤️️ Adrianne and Josh always give a friendly welcome as soon as you walk in the door. The whole staff goes out of their way to make sure you are comfortable.
Amazing little gem in a fantastic location. Great and very friendly staff.
Great service and cutest nooks on the lobby floor
Huge selection of sneakers... it'll take you some time to look through all of them.
We now live in a time (especially in NYC) where the Internet is killing boutique sneaker shops. Flight Club is a big exception to that phenomenon. Insane selection + helpful staff.

The lunch special is amazing. Huge amounts of food for a great value. Always always get the Akamaru modern. Or the wasabi salad (not too spicy) and pork buns.
Headed to see a show at nearby Webster Hall, Mercury Lounge, or Irving Plaza? Hit up this place for crazy good ramen and out of this world pork buns.
Beware: they only take same-day reservations, and the lunch crowd must wait five to 30 minutes in the front room. Complex $13 Ramen concoctions include the popular Akamaru and the Shiromaru. Read more.

The crème de la crème in New York Jazz, the Blue Note is more of a shrine to the good old days of jazz. Get tickets to the later show and enjoy a few encore songs!
The music here is amazing! The list of great artist who have played the Blue Note is phenomenal. The place itself .. not so much. Somewhat of a cave. But I always enjoy it anyway :) Read more.
