It’s easy to get lost in the density and chaos of New York but there are opportunities to step outside of it for a macro view. Chartering a sailboat on the Hudson is a great way to escape and see the city in a different light, especially at night.

This is another neighborhood favorite, especially for Sunday brunch which is consistently great.

Fav art bookstore in the city (and the world?). Great place for inspiration and reference art, both new and vintage finds. Not very cheap but mostly quite worth it.

Great mid-eastern food in Chelsea/Flatiron/NoMad/whatever you call that area.
