Bubs NYC Favs:

Fav Food (not in order) : 
  1. Smorgasburg (seasonal food vendor gathering)
  2. Artichoke Basille’s Pizza ANY location (different take on NY pizza, but MUST)
  3. Kenka (Japanese) & Big Gay Ice Cream 
  4. Flushing (Northern Chinese, this place reminds me of my childhood in China & gets me teary)
  5. Fish (steamers, fisherman’s stew, seafood galore in a casual setting)
  6. Flex Mussels (mussels cooked any way which way)
  7. Halal Guys (crazy famous food stand)
  8. Congee Village (Southern Chinese)
  9. Red Hook Lobster Pound (Lobster Rolls, 3 different kinds, multiple locations)
  10. Get a hot sausage at a hot dog cart, ask for everything on it. 

Fav Places
  1. Roof Top Bar at the Metropolitan Museum of Art as a beautiful view of the park. 
  2. The Met is the best PERIOD and it's pay as you wish. 
  3. The park, Central Park (it closes at 1am, don't get a trespassing ticket like me).
  4. Imagine in Strawberry Fields (also in the park).
  5. Natural History Museum (this is part of the park and also pay as you wish, seeing a theme?)
  6. Brooklyn Bridge 
  7. Williamsburg (flea markets, artsy stuff)
  8. The piers in Brooklyn has a pretty view of Lower Manhattan (9 is near)
  9. Koreantown (great Korean food, most restaurants on this street are open 24/7)
  10. Union Square (great for people watching during the day)
  11. Chelsea Market (food)
  12. Aquarium Near Coney Island (because fish are so peaceful)
  13. 59st Roosevelt Island Tram (the city from a birds eye view, great for sunset time)
  14. Staten Island Ferry (the free way to see the Statue)
  15. 9/11 Memorial (so sad)
  16. Movies in the park (but not “the” park, summer thing be wary of mosquitoes bring repellant)

NYC seasonal events
  • Summer- street fairs, smorgasburg, French Film on the Green, films in Bryant Park (HBO?) 
  • Winter- winter markets, ice skating

Tourist things I do not like doing
  1. Time Square during the day. I suggest at least after midnight but leave before 2am. 
  2. Any super touristy thing during the day is annoying, but maybe I'm just a night owl. 

Things I want to do
  1. Coney Island
  2. Mets vs Giants game
  3. Museum of Sex
  4. Actually go to Ellis Island to see the Statue
  5. Empire State Building
  6. Chrysler Building
