Same day (or next day matinee) broadway tickets. This location is indoors, so if it's hot outside recommend going there. There is also a location just north of times square (near the big stairs pictured above). Often can get orchestra seats for $100 or under.

Great views on all of NYC- especially Central Park! Chris and Meg went here July 26th 2019!

Old above ground subway line converted into outdoor park. Has views of the Hudson River. We went here on our first date.

Quintessential NYC. If you want to walk up to the crown book tickets months in advance. Allow at least half a day and combine with Ellis Island.

Classic NYC picture opportunity- right near Wall Street.

Art museum- focuses on 20th- and 21st-century American art.

If you're into Art (or want that classic Gossip Girl photo)- a must see. Constantly changing exhibits.

Free! Recommend Bethesda fountain, the Ramble, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir, Strawberry Fields and sheeps meadow. You can also rent a bike and ride around a large path inside.

Go up a few floors to see the classic wooden escalators.

Inexpensive mini golf- great for the whole family.

Dinosaurs, buffalo, whales and so much more!

Delicious Indian food and some of the best service in NYC. Your water cup will never be empty. One of our favorites.

Delicious cupcakes and well known for their banana pudding. There is also one at 69th St. and Columbus near Meg's old apartment.

Cookies with frosting! Great after (or before) a broadway show. The funfetti flavor is amazing.

Southern style food. Great for brunch. Huge portions.

Brunch usually without a wait (and no reservation needed). Great oatmeal, Eggs Benedict, French toast.

Great margaritas and free chips and salsa. Recommend for dinner before a broadway show.

Hands down best cookies we have ever had. Only four flavors and all are delicious. Have a second location at 74th and Amsterdam (smaller and usually more crowded). Perfect treat before a walk through Central Park.

Tacos!

Hotdogs on the go. They take cash only.

Where Chris works but also has a great food court and right next to Freedom Tower.

Variety of delicious pizza.

Vodka Chicken parm.

We got pizza here on our first date. Great pies- try the margarita.

If you want to venture into another Borough for amazing steak. Get there early or make a reservation.

As seen on the Sopranos- where we went for dinner the night we got engaged!

Our Valentine's Day Dinner 2019. Classic old clay pipes decorate the inside.

Another amazing pizza place- order at the counter. Great place to stop for a slice.

Our favorite pizza joint. Great place for a sit down dinner. Get there early or stop for lunch- they fill up quick!

Meg's favorite bubble tea spot. (have other locations throughout the city too)

Delicious burgers and good selection of beer.
