Welcome to the city that never sleeps, which doesn't mean you have to stay up all night! There is so much to see, it can be overwhelming. This is by no way an all encompassing guide, but it is what I find myself repeatedly doing if I have a few days in NYC.
From the elegant charm of Fifth Avenue boutiques to the sophisticated ambiance of Michelin-starred dining, NYC offers a wealth of indulgences and when you want to treat yourself, luxury may be what you find yourself pulled towards.
Afternoon Tea:
Prepare for a tea time like no other. Start at The Plaza Hotel, where you'll indulge in delicate sandwiches and decadent pastries under a canopy of opulent splendor. Each season brings a new theme, so soak in the breathtaking stained glass while you sip.
If you're feeling sparkly, the Baccarat Hotel awaits. Picture yourself and your besties basking in a sea of sparkling crystal, perhaps pairing your tea with a glass of champagne. Or, if you’ve got the little ones with you, their Petit Prince tea is simply enchanting.
Luxury Shopping
Now, onto the retail therapy. Saks Fifth Avenue in Midtown is where your shopping dreams come true. After that splurge or when you’re caught in the ultimate shoe dilemma, take a pause at L'Avenue’s rooftop. Raise a glass of sparkling rosé or a crafted cocktail—because every shopping spree deserves a celebratory toast. Their Highball is the best one you will taste!
Live Performances
For an unforgettable night out, catch a show both on and off-Broadway. Gutenberg will have you laughing for days.
If you’re ready to turn up the energy, La Pulperia’s Bottomless Latin Drag Brunch is your spot. With high-octane performances and dancing that’ll make you shout “YAS, Queen!” you’ll leave tipsy, happy, and ready to conquer the neighborhood.
Get Active
So, you’ve danced the night away—now it’s time to get active. Stroll through Central Park Zoo for a breath of fresh air or dive into a Soul Cycle class. Pick a theme that suits your mood, set those weekend intentions, or sweat out last night’s indulgences.
Culture Guide
Immerse yourself in the art scene at MoMA. Spend a morning or afternoon wandering through its exhibits, and let the creativity spark your own.
Dance the Night Away
Ready to dance till dawn? TAO Nightclub is a must-visit, with locations from Vegas to NYC, promising a night you won’t remember and a morning you won’t forget.
For a touch of celebrity glamour, hit 1 OAK. Deck yourself out, splash out on bottle service, and live your best high-octane NYC life.
Places to Eat & Drink in NYC
Coffee & Quick Bites
Start your day at Blue Stone Lane, with casual breakfasts and a prime location near Central Park.
Or grab a quick bite and fresh-roasted coffee at Gregorys—perfect for the on-the-go city explorer.
Brunch
For brunch, The Russian Tea Room is an icon. It’s not just a meal; it’s an experience. Strong martinis, incredible décor, and a menu that covers everything from brunch to dinner make this place a must.
Iconic Cocktails
For cocktails that are nothing short of legendary, visit The Champagne Bar at The Plaza. Enjoy a Champagne Flight or one of their exquisite Champagne cocktails while people-watching in grand style.
Death & Co., on the other hand, is a dark, intimate spot in the East Village that every mixologist should experience. No reservation? No problem—just show up and let the magic happen.
Dinner to Celebrate
Celebrate in style with a classic New York steakhouse dinner at Gallaghers. Established in 1927, it’s where tradition meets indulgence. Share sides with friends and revel in top-notch service.
Alternatively, Momofuku Noodle Bar, with its multiple locations, serves the best noodles in the city. For a lighter, yet equally delicious option, Tarallucci e Vino on the Upper West Side offers a punch of tradition in a charming setting.
Sweet Treats
No NYC visit is complete without dessert. Juniors, famous for its rich and creamy New York-style cheesecake, is a must. Grab a strawberry cheesecake and split it with your bestie.
For cookies that are simply divine, head to Levain Bakery. Try to save some for the plane ride home, if you can!
