I've seen so many great classic movies on film here. Being able to have that experience is one of the things that I feel lucky living in this city.

Apropos mural on an iconic street

It's a bar with live Jazz music, random furnitures, and bunch of games like pool, ping-pong, chess, and etc. The place is filthy, disorganized, and fun.

Apart from Dia Beacon, in Beacon (upstate New York about an hour away from Grand Central Station) and also the Judd Foundation in Soho, this institution is absolutely one of my favourite places to visit and it is located in Long Island City, Queens. It showcases sculpture in the broadest sense and has an incredible building that used to be a workshop that refurbished and fixed subway cars. It has been running since 1928 and when you visit you will definitely see why that is.

A good flat white is hard to find but this is one place in NYC that has coffee that tastes like it does back in New Zealand.
