"Famous for its perogies... The East Village location is open 24 hours a day, so it's great for late-night dining. Also does amazing breakfast food. The blintz are super good for breakfast."

"Walk along the river and say hi to Jersey for me..."

"A boat that's been converted into a bar/restaurant. It's a cool place to grab a drink after strolling along the river walk."

"It's cupcakes are kind of overrated but they make a MEAN banana pudding. It's fluffy and has chunks of banana and cake in it. Bliss."

"Belvedere Castle, the Conservatory Garden, Bow Bridge, the Ramble, Carousel, Sheep Meadow, Alice in Wonderland statue and Strawberry Fields are all cool things to see or do (Among others)."

"You mentioned design museums; the Cooper-Hewitt is the national design museum and is housed in an old mansion."
