Fav Food (not in order) :
- Smorgasburg (seasonal food vendor gathering)
- Artichoke Basille’s Pizza ANY location (different take on NY pizza, but MUST)
- Kenka (Japanese) & Big Gay Ice Cream
- Flushing (Northern Chinese, this place reminds me of my childhood in China & gets me teary)
- Fish (steamers, fisherman’s stew, seafood galore in a casual setting)
- Flex Mussels (mussels cooked any way which way)
- Halal Guys (crazy famous food stand)
- Congee Village (Southern Chinese)
- Red Hook Lobster Pound (Lobster Rolls, 3 different kinds, multiple locations)
- Get a hot sausage at a hot dog cart, ask for everything on it.
Fav Places:
- Roof Top Bar at the Metropolitan Museum of Art as a beautiful view of the park.
- The Met is the best PERIOD and it's pay as you wish.
- The park, Central Park (it closes at 1am, don't get a trespassing ticket like me).
- Imagine in Strawberry Fields (also in the park).
- Natural History Museum (this is part of the park and also pay as you wish, seeing a theme?)
- Brooklyn Bridge
- Williamsburg (flea markets, artsy stuff)
- The piers in Brooklyn has a pretty view of Lower Manhattan (9 is near)
- Koreantown (great Korean food, most restaurants on this street are open 24/7)
- Union Square (great for people watching during the day)
- Chelsea Market (food)
- Aquarium Near Coney Island (because fish are so peaceful)
- 59st Roosevelt Island Tram (the city from a birds eye view, great for sunset time)
- Staten Island Ferry (the free way to see the Statue)
- 9/11 Memorial (so sad)
- 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:
- Time Square during the day. I suggest at least after midnight but leave before 2am.
- Any super touristy thing during the day is annoying, but maybe I'm just a night owl.
Things I want to do:
- Coney Island
- Mets vs Giants game
- Museum of Sex
- Actually go to Ellis Island to see the Statue
- Empire State Building
- Chrysler Building
