Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Secaucus

"The cookies from Maman are some of the best cookies in NYC, and they always come perfectly baked. Oozing delicious chocolate and promising a crisp crunch with every bite, these cookies are not to be missed. While the Lemon White Chocolate Cookie and S’mores Cookie are both impressive, it’s the Nutty Chocolate Chip Cookie which was deemed one of Oprah’s Favourite Things in 2017!"

"Maman is a beautifully rustic, yet classic coffee shop in Brooklyn with only one location in the Greenpoint neighborhood. You’ll feel comfort from the moment you step foot in this Brooklyn coffee shop. The smell of the French and American freshly baked goods fills the entire place not to mention the coffee."

"Stuffed with macadamias, almonds, walnuts, French chocolate and sea salt, this cookie has the ideal ratio of crunchy to craggly, oozing bites."

"The West Village bakery was beloved for its charming and classic interior atmosphere that perfectly complements their amazing collection of baked goods. Their banana pudding, German chocolate cakes, and even their classic chocolate and vanilla cupcakes are to die for. The bakery has been a cornerstone bakeshop not only in New York but around the world, having multiple branches across the globe in countries like Dubai, Doha, and Manila."

"We tried some of the cakes and didn’t love them, but the Banana Bread Pudding from Magnolia Bakery is something else. It’s so good, and with so many locations throughout the city, it’s easy to pick up to take home or back to your hotel making is one of the best dessert places in Manhattan. They serve them in convenient cups too so it’s easy to eat wherever you are and we can’t resist dropping in if they’re open."

"Magnolia Bakery’s cupcakes may have become famous from a cameo in Sex and the City, but locals know to go for the banana pudding. It’s packed with banana slices, lush vanilla pudding, and slightly softened vanilla wafers, and banana flavor is strong in every bite. Banana pudding makes a nice addition to any Thanksgiving feast!"

"Al fresco drinking is a revered New York pastime, and at Greenpoint’s seasonal Brooklyn Barge, you’ll find crowds doing just that. Climb aboard the docked vessel—just next to Transmitter Park—and crack open a menu to peruse food options like grilled Mexican-style corn, griddled quesadillas, and vegan chorizo tacos; and house cocktails like Tom Collins is the Bee’s Knees (lavender, honey, lemon, and gin) and A Buck Roams in Harlem (strawberry, lemon, ginger, and corn whiskey). Once you’ve filled up, you can also check to see if the barge is hosting any events."

"When riding the subway, it can be hard to remember New York City was once a maritime heavyweight, with one of the country’s busiest ports. A good reminder is The Brooklyn Barge, a seasonal floating restaurant equipped with industrial-size wire spools converted into tables and direct views of the Williamsburg Bridge. The casual all-day menu offers Grilled Fish Tacos, Mini Veggie Burger Sliders, and Tugboat Fries with pulled pork, cheese and jalapenos."

"Another seasonal experience and thing to do in Brooklyn as this floating cocktail bar and grill on the East River is in the outdoors. Come by in the summer for this outdoor hang out for a meal and a drink or just for some drinks. Located close to the WNYC Transmitter Park, the Brooklyn Barge is the perfect meeting place for a social outing that offers stunning views of Manhattan and the NYC city skyline."

"Bask in a Parisian atmosphere at Bistro Pierre Lapin|© Noah Fecks. Few things are more romantic than cozying up in a velour booth with a goblet of wine and noshing on comforting Parisian bistro specialities made with New York flair. White plates brimming with coq au vin, steak frites, and garlicky escargot land on white tablecloths at this West Village staple, which is operated by chef Harold Moore and his fiancée."

"A Henan spot in Flushing, Miss Li Henan Cuisine is currently only offering pick-up. But if you live in the general vicinity of Flushing and find yourself in need of some fried pork chops or lamb noodles soup, you know exactly where to go. You can place your order online through their website here."

There's a Healing Room on the lobby floor, L.E.D. saunas on the first, waterfalls and baths on the second floor, and a fitness center on the third. There's also a restaurant, bar, and a separate food court."
