Hello! We all love fun and travel. New York City is every tourist’s dream. Today we will take you on a tour of interesting and even unusual places in New York City. If you are progressive and active, you will definitely like this article. Let’s go!
- Rice to Riches (37 Spring St). Sweet and savory rice puddings in colorful dishes that you can take away with you. The interior of the place is very alien and futuristic. Check out the cheeky flavor names: Oreo Gasm, Almond Shmalmond, Be My Banana Coconut, and so on.
- Joe’s Pizza (7 Carmine St). A tiny pizzeria with an unsightly interior in Greenwich Village. When it comes to the benchmark New York pizza, locals immediately think of this place. The restaurant was featured in the TV series “Friends” and Spider-Man worked there as a pizza delivery guy.
- Martha (29 E 29th St). A cafe with simple, home-style food and great brunch. The food is locally sourced and made to order. The tip is included, which is a rarity in New York City.
- Corner Bistro (331 West 4th Street). Behind the neon red sign on the corner is a beer restaurant and one of the best burger joints in town. A classic cheeseburger costs $7.75. It’s greasy, voluminous, and without pretension.
- Caffe Reggio (119 Macdougal St). A little Italian cafe in Greenwich Village with a history and a favorite of Brodsky’s. It was the first place in the United States to make cappuccino.
- The Metropolitan Museum Bar. The rooftop of one of the world’s most famous museums offers a stunning view of Central Park. In addition to having a cocktail, there are all sorts of cultural activities and performances, because you are in a museum, so don’t forget – you are in a museum.
- Oscar Wilde (45 W 27th St., New York, NY 10001). The longest bar in New York City is in a place named after Oscar Wilde, the man who preferred champagne and absinthe to all alcoholic beverages. The place offers snacks and a couple of cocktails in an incredible atmosphere. For the latter, it is better to go on a weekday, when the main mass of visitors to the bar is New Yorkers. Be sure to pay attention to the interior, it deserves special attention.
- The Campbell (15 Vanderbilt Ave, New York, NY 10017). This used to be the office of a wealthy financier and railroad magnate of the 1920s – John Campbell. In the evenings he would gather there a group of 50 people and make loud parties. Today it is a functioning bar in the Grand Central building (entrance from outside the station on the west side). The interior impresses all guests: the walls and ceilings were restored to their original look after a long restoration. The place is a must-see because The Campbell is a true reflection of the grandeur of early 20th century America.
- P.J.Clarke’s (915 3rd Ave, New York, NY 10022). On a busy Avenue among the huge skyscrapers of downtown New York City stands a small two-story building that every office worker within a mile knows about. If you want to immerse yourself in the city’s corporate culture and get into the Suits or Mad Men scene, you simply must have a couple of pints of beer here.
- McSorley’s Old Ale House (15 E 7th St, New York, NY 10003). An authentic Irish tavern that opened back in the mid-19th century. At one time Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, and President Grant all came here. The interior of the bar was seen in the movie “Once Upon a Time in America” and the walls are covered with artifacts. Hunter Thompson also liked to drink here, and the New York Rangers celebrated their Stanley Cup victory. Until 1970, women weren’t allowed in. Now there are many old-timers of New York City among the guests.
