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.

Adore is my favorite spot to carefully select a few beautiful flowers to take home or bring as a gift. I always try to pair my visit with a trip right around the corner, to Dashwood Books, for a great selection of art books.

Pratt has an amazing sculpture park open for everyone to see. 

Best sicilian slices in all of Brooklyn. Tasty creamsicle as well.

The amazing sidewalks across the street from the New York Public Library.
