"Otherwise, I recommend the Tenement Museum for a thoughtful look into what life was like for low-income New Yorkers and immigrants in the early 20th century. Once you’ve had sufficient time to wander Soho, you’ve probably worked up an appetite. You can safely skip Little Italy as it’s rather gimmicky and has been pretty much overrun by Chinatown. If you really want pizza, may I direct you instead to the oldest pizzeria in the United States, Lombardi’s on Spring Street."

"The Tenement Museum is glad to bring people the museum right to their homes. This organization dedicated to the history of immigrants, refugees, and immigration to New York City has lots of digital exhibits and virtual events to explore on its website."

"The Frick Collection This collection features paintings by major European artists (lots of Dutch masters here) as well as 18th-century French furniture and Oriental rugs. You have to really love Dutch artists to want to spend time here (I do) but be sure to visit their website because they do a lot of wonderful temporary exhibits featuring famous works of art."

"Crown Heights, Brooklyn“The world’s first children’s museum” should come with a warning -- when it’s time to leave, there will be tears. You’ll be amazed how much fun can be had with the conveyor belt in the pretend bodega, or assembling toppings in the mock-pizzeria. And then there’s the splash zone, which rugrats will refuse to leave until you tell them they can play in the sand pit and vegetable garden made from tiny crumbs of rubber (they’ll be in your laundry for weeks)."

"Brooklyn Children’s Museum in Crown heights is perfect for your children and family.

The Seaport is a designated historic district, home to some of downtown Manhattan’s oldest buildings in a little cobblestone grid made up of Fulton Street, Front Street and Water Street."

"The Equinox Hotel, a fitness franchise-turned-hospitality enclave that opened in 2019, is located in Hudson Yards on the fringe of Manhattan. Unsurprisingly, the hotel, which takes up 14 floors of a 92-floor building, is all about wellness and fitness—think massages followed by IV vitamin drips, cryotherapy chambers, and one of the prettiest rooftop pools in New York. The 212 rooms are equally lovely, with beds made of horse hair and non-toxic fibers and sauna-sized showers with multiple heads."

"Natura Spa is absolutely one of the friendliest spas in New York City.

Go for a standard couple’s massage package, or add in the aromatherapy package for calming lavender oils."

"While the Mediterranean food is better and cheaper than it needs to be at Dumbos’ Celestine, the real star is the unbeatable view of the Manhattan skyline through floor-to-ceiling windows on the edge of Brooklyn. Dishes include chermoula-rubbed branzino and shakshuka. There’s also outdoor seating in nicer weather, and brunch is an ideal time here for daytime views."

"Don’t let the name confuse you: Café Luluc is as all-American as it gets. At this Cobble Hill hot spot (think 1,150-plus Yelp endorsements), a stack that Yelpers describe as “mouthwatering” and “pancake perfection” is prepared in butter in a cast-iron pan before being topped with mixed fruit, powdered sugar, and real maple syrup."

"The Vibe: This casual French restaurant on Smith Street in Boerum Hill has a moderately priced and extremely tasty breakfast, as well as a very European feel. Grab a magazine from the wooden rack on the wall, and read while you dine at this local favorite. During the warmer months, you can choose a seat in the backyard patio."

"This cozy and popular French café is a neighborhood staple for pancake lovers who like to keep things classic and timeless; why mess with perfection?. You won’t find the latest trendy condiment on the list of pancake toppings at this cash-only café. Luluc’s is known for its high quality pancakes, served daily."

"Ex-Del Posto pastry chef Brooks Headley has been focusing his energy on the veggie burgers at Superiority Burger in the East Village, but the ice cream and gelato here are worth the trip alone. Flavors rotate almost daily, but have included lime labne, corn tortilla, extra-virgin olive oil, and pineapple-rhubarb. Superiority Burger is currently only available for pre-orders, which can be reserved starting on Monday at noon and are available for dinner from Wednesday to Sunday."

"A post shared by @ superiorityburger on Jun 17, 2019 at 1:53pm PDT. This compact white-tiled restaurant is an easy one to spot. Their slogan is "Everything is vegetarian. A lot is accidentally vegan. Just Ask." Their menu is short and sweet, with options ranging from the Sloppy Dave with frizzles onions to Megamouth."

"Created by Brooks Headley, daily specials are improvised from Greenmarket finds. Unlike many vegan/ vegetarian establishments, they keep their prices low. They therefore offer a cruelty-free, but just as delicious, alternative to NYC fast-food burger joints."
