Eataly in the Flatiron District

“One of my favorite spots in the city is Eataly. It's just an incredible marketplace, as well as having great dining options. Check out Birreria on the rooftop. Great vibe and great, fresh brewed beers.”

Central Park between the Upper East and West Sides

“The second place I'd have to recommend is Central Park. Growing up in The City, it was always nice to be outside and not near traffic. If you're in town on a Thursday between April and August, check out Heckscher baseball fields; that's where the Broadway shows all play each other.”

Times Square in Midtown

“Next I'd have to say Times Square. I know it's such an obvious spot but these days it's quite the scene. Now that cars can't drive through it the way they used to, there are all these great food trucks and entertaining acts. If you have kids, check out the Ferris wheel in Toys ‘R’ Us.”

The Highline

“Lastly, I'd say I love the Highline. It's a walkway that stretches from the Meat Packing District to the beginning of Hell's Kitchen. It's a great way to see the city. Plus, it's a block away from Chelsea Piers, and it starts at Chelsea Market, which is a great place to get cool stuff by local artisans.”
