When I moved to NYC in the summer of 2009, my wife Hannah and I went straight to Central Park and the Belvedere Castle. It was the first time I fully grasped that I lived in New York and it felt euphoric standing on that hill. For me this place is still a romantic symbol and reminder of the spirit and essence of the city and the reasons I live here.

This is tres chic, quite the upper West side suite & puddle scene! The pro tip is sitting in the bar, they have amazing bar snacks, drinks and wine menu is a blast, and I can't think of a better way to end a successful shopping spree then drinks and dinner at Nougatine At Jean-Georges (at the bar)

The Family Store is the best Mediterranean food you can get in New York City. That is all.

Fried chicken. Biscuits. Sausage gravy. Artisanal root beer. House-made pickles.

Just by sitting on a bench and drinking a coffee in the park, I can be entertained by so many performers and some crazy people.
