New York recommendations 馃椊
- If it鈥檚 sunny head to聽Court Square聽on the Queens side, get a deli picnic from聽Foodcellar Market聽and head to聽Gantry Plaza State Park. Beautiful clear views of Manhattan and lots of picnic benches. If you fancy, you can then get聽the water taxi聽to Brooklyn or downtown for a few dollars.
- Also in the area around Court Square is聽MOMA PS1, the hip, trendy outhouse of the Museum of Modern Art. Worth a quick visit if you like mind-boggling modern art.
- Favourite museums are聽American Museum of Natural History聽(go see prehistoric Lucy! and dinosaurs!) or the聽Guggenheim, which is perfectly New York聽(but it鈥檚 pricey 拢拢 to get into both).
- I'd really recommend the tours at the聽Tenement Museum, which shows you what it was like to live in NY through the 19th and 20th Century.
- Have also done an ace walking tour of Wall Street which talks through the history all the way up to the crash, I think it was聽this one.
- Restaurant:聽Bryant Park Grill, behind the public library. Ask for a table outside on the terrace and do some people watching. The steak is great.
- Lastly, for a very NY experience get some deli meats, bread and jewish baked treats (chocolate babka please!) from聽Zabars聽for a Central Park picnic.
