Some fun stuff we did last time we were there: Rooftop Films - cheap, fun movies on a rooftop in front of the NYC skyline. (March 31 - October 2) http://rooftopfilms.com/ Awesome restaurants - there are so many that it's hard to choose, but we really enjoyed Mario Batali's mid-level offering, Lupa. The Pollo alla diavola is amazing, and the hand-carved prosciutto is to die for. http://www.luparestaurant.com/ Went to a cool bar, little underground speakeasy that doesn't have drink menus, called Little Branch. You can ask for a classic cocktail, but I recommend telling the bartender what kind of liquor you like and letting her go nuts. Classy drinks, including whiskey sours made with egg whites, and they chip the ice off a huge block. Pricey, though ($10+ per drink). Sat next to Phillip Seymour Hoffman. He was wearing a Target t-shirt. http://www.yelp.com/biz/little-branch-new-york Central Park It's Central Park, it rules. Go there. American Museum ofNatural History Free after 5pm, but that doesn't give you nearly enough time. Make a donation and don't be a cheapskate. http://www.amnh.org/ Chinatown Get dim sum at Big Wing Wong, it's fuckin delicious. They roll around carts covered with trays, you point to what you want, and they total it up at the end. Some of the places are cash only, though, so have some with you. Then wander the weird streets of Chinatown and buy some weird merchandise. http://www.yelp.com/biz/big-wing-wong-new-york Brooklyn Bridge Take the subway across to Brooklyn and walk back over the bridge. It's an amazing view and we met a lot of really nice people when they asked us to take their picture. They were a family from Brooklyn who walks the bridge every year as a tradition, they were awesome! They gave us lots of good suggestions of things to do, too. Wander Just walk around, it's a really interesting place. Take the subway when you can, it's the drat NY subway after all. Going back next week, unfortunately we only have an afternoon before we have to leave again. But that's enough time to get a bagel with lox and chill in Central Park for a while!
