Food Scene
Cute Upper East Side place, with good, homemade Italian food (pizza, pasta, and salads) at extremely reasonable prices. It's usually busy for a reason, but worth it.

Great little burger spot with a really fun interior, especially during good weather when they open the windows. If you like special dipping sauces with your burger and fries, you will like this place!

One of the best restaurants on the Upper East Side. Great French food and huge beer selection. Never heard anyone say a bad thing about it. Pricey, but worth it!

You can't go to NYC and not try Shake Shack! This may not be the original location, but it's all the same. I personally think it is overrated and prefer BareBurger, but to each his own. :)
Shake Shack 630 Lexington Ave - 54th & Lex

I don't recommend anyone coming all the way to NYC to go to Starbucks, but if you must---this is the closest one to us!

Love this place! Best organic burger in NYC in my opinion. Delicious burgers, fries, milkshakes, dipping sauces, and even brunch. If you have to choose between here and Shake Shack...choose right! ;)

Great brunch spot. Cozy and warm, almost in a country, old-fashioned classic way. The food is delicious (I seriously dream about their lemon ricotta pancakes), but it does come at a price!

Arts and Culture
My favorite part of Central Park, especially when everything is in bloom! It is divided into three smaller gardens, representing three, equally beautiful countries: Italy, France, & England. Must-see!

I love this museum from the outside and in! Unlike a lot of the others, you can see everything in it within about 2-3 hours because of the design. Within walking distance of our condo on a nice day!
