There are infinitely many things to do in New York, so we've decided to focus in the area around our hotel. But feel free to ask if you wish to venture beyond Midtown and want recommendations for other things to do across the five boroughs!

Central Park

We'll be at the southern end of Central Park at Cop Cot, but that's just a small portion of the 843 acres that comprise this NYC landmark! Rent a kayak at the Loeb Boathouse, ride in a a horse-drawn carriage, or just go for a stroll.

Bread & Butter

Located at 25 W 56th St (between 5th and 6th Ave), Bread & Butter is a great place to order food buffet-style. And there is ample seating upstairs for large groups. Lori, Ben, and Vicky (Lori's mom) went here during Vicky's last visit to NYC and they all agreed that the food was delicious!

Hudson River Greenway

Walk as far west as you can and you'll run into the Hudson River, along with a greenway that runs the entire length of the island. Come here for scenic views and to get in some exercise!

SPYSCAPE

Romeo (father of the bride-to-be) went to SPYSCAPE with Ben during one of his visits to NYC. Ben's employer was thinking of doing a team-building event at the museum, so Romeo and Ben volunteered to be the guinea pigs.


The SPY HQ package is a combination of a museum tour and an immersive spy training experience. As you walk through the different rooms, you participate in mental and physical exercises that the museum uses to determine what kind of spy you'd be best suited as. At the same time, you learn about the history of code-breaking and espionage, from basic word scrambling and decoding to modern era hacking and surveillance.
