What Can You Do in A Day in NYC?

 

Start Your Day With a Coffee From Sweetleaf

 

New York is a city full of coffee lovers, so if you need to start your day with a strong hit of caffeine before you can do anything, you are in luck. But with so many incredible coffeehouses dotted around the city, how do you know which is the best for easing into your day of exploration? There are lots of gooduns but take it from us that Sweetleaf, which has locations in Queens and Brooklyn, is one of the best. It’s the best espresso we’ve had in the city.

 

Stroll Through Socrates Sculpture Park

 

With space at a premium in New York City, it’s amazing how some discarded places have been reinvented to create real value. Socrates Sculpture Park is one such place. Built on the site of a former landfill site, the park is now home to large scale sculptures and multimedia installations – a wonderful blending of nature and culture. It also hosts many free community events such as yoga, capoeira, and outdoor film screenings.

 

Get a Sugar Rush at Chinatown Ice Cream Factory

 

New York is nothing short of swelteringly hot in the summer months, and while you could escape the heat by having a lie down in your air conditioned room, we think that slurping on some ice cream is a much better method. And when we’re in the mood for some ice cream deliciousness we always head straight to the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory. As this ice cream joint is located in Chinatown, it’s the Asian flavours that steal the show. The lychee flavour is consistently a bestseller, while the durian is something daring for foodie adventurers.

 

Catch a Drag Show at Boots & Saddle

 

New York is one of the most gay friendly cities in the whole world, and even if you aren’t gay yourself, it can be a wonderful idea to hit up a few of the gay bars, drink, and make some new friends. One of the gay bars that we return to time and again is called Boots & Saddle, located in the super gay Greenwich Village area. The reason we love it so much is simple – the drag shows! The entertainers are polished, hilarious, irreverent, and super talented.
