Between our weekends spent in the city during college and our reunion this summer, Nicole and I have covered a lot of ground in New York City. We’ve found our favorite coffee and bagel shops, and also encountered a few that didn’t live up to the hype (or we were so thirsty/hungry it didn’t really matter). We’ve walked across Manhattan from north to south and east to west, then diagonally for good measure. We’ve walked down the same street seventeen times (I really love the wisteria covered brownstones on West 81st, above), then experienced the unparalleled joy of discovering a new-to-us gem. New York is a city like no other; it’s a place full of life, discovery, and reflection. New York is the backdrop of some of my best days, and also some of my hardest. Above all, it’s the place where I feel most alive.
In honor of the city and the truly incredible adventures Nicole and I had there this summer, here’s a guide to some of our favorite places in New York City. Included are our favorite parks, coffee shops, art stores, museums, comedy clubs, restaurants, beautiful streets, and everything in between. We included something in every neighborhood we visited, from Upper Manhattan to Brooklyn. We hope you love these places as much as we do, and that you’ll let us know some of your favorite places in New York, too.
Update: here's our full guide, including Upper Manhattan and Midtown, Lower Manhattan, and Brooklyn. Use our Google map for all our NYC Guide locations in one place, plus directions, websites and addresses.
