Food, glorious food: New York is the global destination for those who like to eat, and it’s obvious why. In the same way that London seems to have a pub on every corner, it sometimes feels like every street in New York has a kick ass restaurant worthy of enough Michelin stars to form a galaxy. This can be overwhelming, but to help you out here are some of the best places to indulge:
New York, New York, or so the ditty goes from old Frank, yet visitors still flock to Manhattan as if it’s the only part of the city. Whilst they’re not wrong to be taken in by the skyscrapers and bright lights, the different districts of New York offer a plethora of unmissable attractions too. So, before you plan your itinerary between Battery Park and 110th Street, read below for New York districts, explained.
When it comes to New York cocktail hour is most definitely a thing. After all, not every city gets a drink named after each of its boroughs, and there’s a good reason for that. In New York, old world class meshes with new world inventiveness, producing some of the finest drinking establishments on earth. It’s no surprise that Sinatra spent his evenings boozing around the city that never sleeps, and libation wise things have only gotten better since then. There isn’t much that can beat savouring a Manhattan whilst overlooking that famous skyline (although those with a sweet tooth might be more partial to sipping on a Bronx).
From King Kong to Ugly Betty, part of the reason New York has such an appeal is because of the time we spend watching it on screen. The city offers the perfect backdrop to all sorts of stories from all genres, so no matter what your preference is, you’re bound to spot something familiar. There are hundreds of New York filming locations, as well as several famous movie buildings in New York City and we’ve put together some of the best known, from North to South.
Ordinarily, parks, museums and bridges would be last on our list of recommendations, but even New York’s holiday basics are bigger, better and brasher than anywhere else’s. Yes, you can flit from one iconic film location to another or shop for big name brands, but New York really rewards those that dare to explore.
