That's right - get Medieval at the Cloisters. It's closer than you think. Imagine, a $2.75 subway fare can take you back 500 years. It's cool af and a great day spent in NYC.

"It's not far, not far to reach, you can hitch a ride to Rockaway Beach!" Better yet, take a ferry for $2.75 from Pier 11 on Wall St. and you will arrive 50 minutes later at the Atlantic Ocean, and Rockaway Beach! AsK me about details, but we LOVE going to NYC's beaches, and this is the BEST!

Oh man, it's Coney Island! Jump on the subway at Columbus Circle (just on the corner here) and in 45 minute you will BE IN CONEY ISLAND! Don't be a tourist, go to Coney and hang with real New Yorkers. You'll thank me later!

This place is relatively new -- and it's in the Columbus Circle subway! It's actually pretty cool, even for us jaded NY'ers. No subway fare required to enjoy seating, cafes, food, gift shopping. Very cool...

Very SOLID and amusing sushi restaurant -- a little spendy, but not too bad. Inside of the 6 Hotel -- literally around the corned on 58th. Can be tricky to find, but a room worth losing oneself in. Keep your eyes open -- this place is sick with local (celebrities). CNN across the street.

This is our fav restaurant in town - sexy, great food, a real go to. Classic French Bistro within easy walking distance (20 min.) down 9th avenue. Go after 8 so you miss the pre-theatre crowd. Have some Martinis and fries at the Bar. You're welcome!

True story. This used to be Frank Sinatra's favorite spot - and you can see it from the window. It's still cranking out some of the best red sauce in town. Just, go.

Just around the corner -- a solid spot to grab some excellent Cuban food and watch some live music, every night of the week. Keep your eyes open -- the music is hot, Cuban, and bangin'. Eric Clapton has been spotted late night catching a show -- many others will duck in for an incognito drink and a set. Check it out!

The Last Bohemian Bar in New York. (It's also the sponsor of my soccer team!) Just far enough off the beaten path that celebs drop by to drop out. Get on the A train, get off at W.4th St. station and walk. It's been an operating public house since 1817. No joke. (and great food!)
