Things to do, eat, drink and indulge in NYC

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

Beyond Sushi| Best vegan sushi.

Pio pio| Peruvian Chicken. Nandos bites this place’s dust

Five Leaves| Australian cusines, done right (in Williamsburg, Brooklyn)

Dirt Candy| Vegan prix fixe. Just brilliant

Candle Cafe| Tasty vegetarian but nowhere close to healthy

Bubby’s| American Southern food and they have the best pies in town

La Esquina| Mouth watering tacos. Enough said

Sigiri| If you’ve never had Srilankan, just go. Order the Lamprais

Kottu House| If you liked Sigiri, go here for the Kottu. Say hi to Chaz

Drink

Amor y Amargo| A Bitters Tasting Room

Greenpoint Brewery| They experiment about 300 beers a year

230 5th Ave| Expensive, touristy but also probably the best rooftop bar in the city

The Raines Law Room | Probably the best prohibition setting bar in NYC with solid cocktails

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

Blue Bottle Coffee| Rockefeller building

Toby’s Estate Coffee| Williamsburg, Brooklyn

Kaffe 1668| They take their coffee very seriously here

Le Colombe| Mochas are really good

Mud Truck| Try the mocha from the truck or the store

Round K| Murakami would go here for coffee

Sweets

Lady M| Haven’t had anything like it before

Morgenstern’s Icecream| The icecream temperature they serve at is perfect

Levain| The best cookie in the world (Dark Chocolate peanut butter)

Magnolia Cupcakes| Quite touristy now, but that shoudn’t stop you

Momofuku milk bar| Get the compost cookie

Van Leeuwen| Natural ice-creams. Try the Ginger or Gianduja

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.
