I highly recommend NYC's assortment of Off-Broadway shows for hidden comedic and musical gems!
If you find yourself in the neighborhood of Sagamore Hill, you can check out Teddy Roosevelt's home!
For those from the Midwest, you may also find Fire Island compelling - weather permitting!
Veselka if you end up in NYC
Any bagel place
Any pizza place
Any bacon, egg, and cheese place!
Ralph's Italian Ices if you can - they're great year-round!
