Science Museum · Upper West Side · 1399 tips and reviews
Malene Hald: Start from the top, with the dinosaurs, and work your way down. Don't miss the bottom floor, where they keep the giant blue whale and some of the most beautiful displays of forrest.
44 Grand Central Terminal (Lower Dining Concourse), New York, NY
Coffee Shop · Turtle Bay · 160 tips and reviews
Malene Hald: One of the few coffee places I've tried that don't serve the coffee too hot! Also I don't like the dark roast that many coffee joints use – Joe's is soft and have a nutty, creamy taste.
Comic Book Store · Theater District · 140 tips and reviews
Malene Hald: Not a good place for the casual browser – you need to know what you're looking for. Graphic novels and superhero comics is mixed together, hard to be inspired. But have almost everything.
Malene Hald: If you come around lunch or dinner head straight for the restaurants and reserve a table, then browse around this giant italian wonderland while you wait.
