Walk it after DUMBO and the Pebble Beach viewpoint.

Seen from the SUMMIT observation deck; she prefers the Chrysler Building's looks.

♡
★
Vessel
Can be seen from the coffee spot at Hudson Yards even on a grey, rainy day.

Little Island
In winter it's freezing with insane wind off the Hudson — they left after a few minutes.

Don't miss the macaron conveyor belt, the balloon room ('a room you can't leave'), the ball pit and the sequins room.
♡
★
Eileen's Special Cheesecake
17 Cleveland Pl — take the best-seller with strawberry topping: not too sweet, melts in your mouth; minis in tiramisu, brulee, marble.
♡
★
Flipper's
Japanese souffle pancakes made to order - the banana one with whipped cream; she called it 'heaven on earth'.
♡
★
Gallaghers Steakhouse
228 W 52nd St — the best-known steakhouse in NYC, with a dry-aging meat locker at the entrance. Not cheap, but the meat justifies it.

Cédric Grolet-inspired pastries with French technique and Asian flavors — the matcha yeast pastry and mango dessert were amazing.
♡
★
Sarge's Delicatessen & Diner
548 3rd Ave: hot pastrami on seeded rye ($27.95) is insanely juicy and too big to finish; add matzo ball soup ($9.95) — about $50 with drinks, no line.
♡
★
The Ivory Peacock
Largest gin selection in America: take the gin experience with 6 gins plus tonic, cream, lemon peel and spices; try La Gin neat and the tuna tartare.
♡
★
Top of the Rock Observation Deck
Start the day from the top — 'postcard' views of the Empire State and Central Park; kids loved the viewing binoculars.

French bistro right under her hotel - order the onion soup, the best she's ever had.
♡
★
Juliana's Pizza
If you're in DUMBO don't miss the pizza under the Brooklyn Bridge.
♡
★
Krispy Kreme Times Square
Watch the glazed donuts come off the production line and eat one fresh — 'like eating a cloud'; she planned to take a box home.
♡

Start with the fried artichoke cacio e pepe style (pecorino + black pepper), then truffle ravioli and rigatoni all'amatriciana.

A must-stop with kids on a first NYC visit — giant Kit Kat and Hershey's Syrup props for photos.

260 W 35th St: rainbow bagels and wild schmears (Oreo, Dubai, jalapeño); the bagel itself is dry — it's mostly for the photo.
♡
Longo Bros
Simple Italian at 474 9th Ave: the mozzarella is wow (skip the oregano on the caprese), but cacio e pepe costs $23.
♡
Morgenstern's Finest Ice Cream

♡
Nintendo NY
Easy win with kids right at Rockefeller Center — she walked out with a Nintendo bag.

475 Broadway. About an hour of slime vats, a slingshot ride and building your own slime; $122 for two with kit — pricey.
