"Fans reserve tables up to four weeks in advance at this Danny Meyer classic, but the best seats in the house are at the walk-in bar, with sociable, knowledgeable staffers. Wherever you’re plonked, take your taste... European in Financial District & Lower Manhattan"

"If you didn’t have pizza earlier, I recommend Juliana’s – the pizza is even better than next-door Grimaldi’s (in fact, it was voted the best pizzeria in the entire U.S. in 2015 on TripAdvisor) but it’s not often in the guidebooks so there’s usually no line. If you do this, be sure to save room for dessert at the delicious Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory just down the street."

"Opened in 2012, it’s the brainchild of Raffaele Ronca, a native of Naples and former chef at Bellavitae and Palma, and Romeo Palmisano, also from Naples. This 70-seat, bi-level trattoria draws on Ronca’s ancestral heritage of butchers and fishers to give the food a family touch. The tonnarelli cacio e pepe and the branzino with spinach and potatoes are excellent choices."

"Reserve a table - Take Away"

"A post shared by EK Family (@caliaek) on Nov 23, 2017 at 9:12am PST. A toning massage, a relaxing one, or maybe your body just needs reflexology treatments. You can find all the possible treatments here at Caudalie Vinotherapie Spa, it’s a big name in the spa industry and they have branches in multiple locations."

"Choose from a variety of services at YeloSpa, including reiki, massage, and body waxing. Add on dry brushing, cupping, or even a deep tissue forearm massage to take care of those muscles that get tired from typing all day. If you’re out and about in the city, far away from your hotel, you can even stop into YeloSpa for a nap in one of their private nap suites."

"Editor's Note: There's no photo available at the time of writing. YeloSpa is an affordable wellness center in New York City, It’s running with just one mission, and that is ‘wellness for everyone’. They have employed some highly trained healers, which delivers the most innovative therapeutic treatments."

"The Stonewall National Monument, located in Greenwich Village in Manhattan, is the historical site of the 1969 Stonewall Uprising. The New York National Park sits right across the street from the Stonewall Inn, which served as a refuge for many LGBTQ+ New Yorkers in the 1960s. The Stonewall Inn still functions as a bar, and is also recognized as a National Historic Landmark."

"Visit the first national monument dedicated to LGBTQ rights in the West Village. At the site of the Stonewall Riots on June 28, 1969, the Stonewall National Monument received its national monument designation in 2016. As a new monument, Stonewall National Monument doesn’t offer a visitor center yet."

"Fee: No FeeHours: Christopher Park is open from 9 AM to Dusk. The Stonewall Uprising on June 28, 1969 is a huge milestone in the LGBT civil rights movement. Up until the 1960s, living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender was illegal, and NYC laws were particularly harsh."

"Why It's So Cool: Ok, the actual playground itself is nothing extraordinary, but the namesake of the park, is. (Still, any kid would be happy to rock out here for a while.) Named for native Brooklynite and Beastie Boy/filmmaker/activist Adam Yauch, AKA M.C.A., this slice of park hugging the BQE was renamed in his honor in 2013, one year after his death. That's cool, but what's even cooler is that this is the park where Yauch himself played as a child, even, apparently, learning to ride a bike here. It's down the street from Megapark Brooklyn Bridge Park, and its old school but ample offerings — basketball courts, climbing structures, a sprinkler — are a nice and calm alternative to the flurry of activity by the water."

"Adam Yauch Park is a Brooklyn Heights playground named in honor of founding Beastie Boys member Adam Yauch, a Brooklyn resident and filmmaker, artist, and international social activist. The park, which was formerly known as State Street Park and Palmetto Playground, was a childhood favorite play spot for Yauch and his family. Following Yauch's death in 2012 from cancer, the park was renamed in his honor."

"Some of the sandwiches served are the Chana Masala, the Veggie Mashup, and the Smorgasburg Sweet Potato. Wraps include the Organic Quinoa and the Kale and Sweet Potato Wrap. They also serve bowls including French Lentils."

"The self-labeled “vegetable slaughterhouse” treats fruits and vegetables as a butcher would meat: chopping, filleting, and carving fresh produce into healthy vegetarian dishes. The seasonal, daily changing menu is 100 percent vegetarian with many vegan and gluten-free options. Faves include the butcher’s bowl with roasted potatoes, harissa aioli, maitake mushroom, spinach, fennel “sausage” topped with a poached egg and cacio e pepe cauliflower served with pecorino and vegan butter."
