This is my favorite Italian restaurant in NY! You can go to the upper west or upper east location. (I prefer the one in upper east) delicious food and for a great price. You can order portions for 2, and two people would eat for only $35

The idea about this guidebook is to recommended places that a lot of people don’t know about. Maybe a lot of people already know about the vessel but still wanted to list it here. Unfortunately now they closed it to go up but at least you can enjoy taking photos of it and go shopping at Hudson Yards while there

A heart-pounding immersive experience, this is a new 67-floor skyscraper.
It has a totally mirrored infinity room called "Air" that reflects the sky and city views over and over, making you feel like you're walking in the sky or on another plane of existence. Besides the absolutely breathtaking view of the city (where you can see all the major landmarks and bridges), is that it changes with the weather and time of day.
