I lived in NYC for 7 short years - this is just a small snippet of what I would recommend to do, see and eat while you are there.
Map
Must visit when I'm in NYC - still very emotional after all these years!
9/11 Memorial & Museum
Try the stuffed burger - I still have dreams about it!
The Dutch
I've stayed here countless times - Very good location, centrally located and close to public transport
ROW NYC
So many good shops and restaurants here!
The Seaport
An oldie but a goodie - this Sex and the City location still has some of the best sushi and cocktails on the block!
SUSHISAMBA New York
One of my most favorite restaurants! Try the meatballs - so so good!!
Frankies 570 Spuntino
There are a few locations but this shop is so good I even have their cookbook and make their meatballs when I have to bring a dish somewhere - always a crowd pleaser!!
The Meatball Shop - Hell's Kitchen
Check for their latest collections showing but I've never had a bad experience here
Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum
One of the best to get your fashion fix
Barneys New York
A NYC institution and a must visit. Absolutely iconic around Christmas time
Rockefeller Center
I've worn many of their perfumes that all are about the NYC icons. This location is an icon in itself!
Lafayette Street | Bond No. 9 New York
Really good brunch spot at the Seaport - have breakfast here and then stop by the farmer's market nearby
Fresh Salt
I've taken numerous friends and family here when they are in town and this is such a special and fun place and the food is delish!! Be such to have a glass of champagne in the bathroom.
Beauty & Essex
An absolute institution in NYC pizza - must try!!
Artichoke Basille's Pizza
If you can get a table, do so because this pizza and the vibe in this location is an NYC experience that you will not forget
Arturo's Coal Oven Pizza
Have you even been to NYC if you haven't been??
Visit | Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island
Stroll around here and you are bound to find some delish restaurants for dinner. September brings the San Gennaro festival which is my favorite!
Little Italy
Very central location, very chic urban vibe, and great price!
