New York City has an overwhelmingly large list of activities, stays and restaurants to choose from. While this often makes for an exciting vacation, it can sometimes be daunting for a non-city dweller. Below is a list of three worth-while things for anyone to do while in the Big Apple, to get your trip itinerary started.
The Ludlow Hotel: The Ludlow is a quirky hotel that will keep anyone entertained, comfy and trying to extend their trip just one more day. The modern yet warm decor is beautiful from the first floor lobby area to the top floor gym which has a panoramic view of the city. The rooms are tiny, as most things in New York City are, but sport the most luxurious beds in the city, and a bathroom outfitted to perfection. Every detail from the key tag to the complementary lotion bottles enhance the time you spend in this hotel. Attached to the Ludlow is a restaurant called Dirty French, which is perfect for a croissant and a coffee before you hit the town, or a beautifully prepared dinner when you return at night.
Friend of a Farmer: Friend of a farmer is an approachable farmhouse restaurant that has something on their menu for everyone. They serve brunch to dinner, and hit the mark every time. The moment you walk in the door you are greeted by a friendly staff who is always happy and willing to help with anything you may need. The restaurant is a tight two story building with a rustic farmhouse feel that makes you warm and excited every time you see something come out of the kitchen. Their simple yet delicious menu, friendly faces, and stellar atmosphere make for an amazing meal for anyone.
The MET: The MET is one of the most visited places in the big city, and for good reason. Tourists and locals alike will enjoy a magnificent afternoon wandering the long hallways that lead to endless rooms filled with art. The first thing you notice when approaching the massive building is the incredible staircase leading up to the multi door entrance. This grand entrance sets the pace for the interior of the building and all it houses. As you walk further in you start to realize it would take days to see every piece of art in the museum, and try to squeeze it all in. The MET has ginormous amounts of space and is filled with bold and curious art, a place that will absolutely blow your expectations out of the water. There is something for everyone to enjoy, and can make for an unforgettable afternoon.
Though this is a list of only three places to add to your itinerary they each provide a jumping off point in a new part of town. New York City is chalk full of opportunity for fun, but can sometimes be directed specifically at certain groups of people. These three places are inclusive of everyone’s interests, and get your trip started in the right direction.
