There are many things I hate about New York but there are about twice the number of the things that I love about it. Here are a collections of things I tell people to do, eat and drink. Veers vegan/ vegetrian for the most part.
So here they are, my greatest hits:
Do
| Central Park |
Run the bridal path or just anywhere
|
| Walk the Highline |
Most beautiful in the spring or fall
|
| Museum of Modern Art |
Indoor hanging helicopter is the highlight
|
| The MET |
Remember, it’s donation based which they don’t make obvious
|
| Williamsburg, Brooklyn |
Lot of cool little places in and around Bedford Ave
|
| Walk the Brooklyn Bridge |
Ask for the ice-cream factory on the Brooklyn side
|
| Sleep No More |
A moving play set in a warehouse that you walk around
|
| Gallow Green |
A spooky rooftop bar with frequent visits by the casts of Sleep No More
|
| Google Office Rooftop |
Find a Google buddy who works at Google
|
Eat
| Hangawi |
Korean vegan food with unbelievable ambience
|

Best vegan sushi.

Drink

Expensive, touristy but also probably the best rooftop bar in the city

A place to wind down with a book or meet friends for tea

I’ve done my fare bit of travelling and I hate to admit it, but New York is the world’s most amazing city and these places are just a few reasons for it.
