New York City Bucket List: 100+ Best Things to do in NYC Before You Die
Looking for a NYC Bucket list? This blog shows you more than 100 unique and best things do in New York City. This list include best things to do in NYC as a tourist, best food to eat in New York City, best things to do in NYC every season and much more.
Ah New York City! New York City is a place someone must visit at least once in their lifetime. Even as someone who has lived in New York for almost 10 years, I still get awed by it every time I check out something new (and there is ALWAYS something new to do in NYC). There is really no where else that can compare to New York in terms of things to do, places to visit, and food to eat and drink.
When I was younger, I had visited New York City quite a few times, but it wasn’t until I started living here that I truly started to enjoy the city.
Yes New York City is expensive, touristy and can be dirty and loud, but everywhere you look, New York has that charm that no other cities have. You can save money on attractions in New York City by purchasing a New York attraction pass (see all the comparisons too) and you will definitely get used to the crowds and noise.
Every neighborhood in New York City has its own history and charm and there really are just so many things to do. You can honestly stay here for months and not run out of things to do. I mean I’ve been here for almost 10 years, still finding new things to see all the time.
With that said, if you want to see a list of recommended things to do and eat in NYC from a local, let me show you the 100+ best things to do in New York City.

Best things to do in New York City if you are a tourist
1. Ride a helicopter to see New York City from above
You can’t fully appreciate NYC (and the fact there is a giant park in the middle of Manhattan) until you see Manhattan from above.
Unfortunately since drones are banned in NYC, the only way to do that is to ride a helicopter.
Fortunately there are a number of helicopter tours to choose from, all you need to worry about is what shoes to wear (so you can take the famous photo with your feet outside of the helicopter) and what camera/ camera lens to bring.
So buckle up and enjoy the view from top. Being able to see New York City from above truly gives you a sense of how majestic this place is.
2. Cross the Brooklyn Bridge and visit DUMBO
There is nothing more iconic to do in New York City than walking across the famous Brooklyn Bridge. The Brooklyn Bridge is about 1.1 mile long and takes about 20 minutes to walk across. Many people also take the train to Brooklyn then walk across the bridge towards Manhattan.
If you visit during the day, there are a lot of people. There used to be vendors on the bridge but they have since been banned, so there are more room on the bridge for pedestrians.
Once you cross the Brooklyn Bridge from the Manhattan side (starting near City Hall), you can visit the famous photo spot in DUMBO to see the Manhattan Bridge (see photo below).
Besides the famous photo spot, there are a lot to do in Dumbo:
- Spend your time exploring Brooklyn Bridge Park
- Ride the famous Jane’s Carousel
- See the Statue of Liberty (although a bit far away)
- Get coffee from % Arabica while enjoying the view of the bridge
- Get pizza from Juliana’s Pizza (not the next door Grimaldi’s Pizzeria)
- Do a walking tour to understand the area
3. Watch the sunset at Brooklyn Bridge Park
One of the most relaxing things to do in New York City is to spend the late afternoon in Brooklyn Bridge Park and watch the sunset. The entire area has been renovated in the recent years so everything is super nice.
At one end of Brooklyn Bridge Park you can actually spot the Statue of Liberty albeit a little small; on the other side of Brooklyn Bridge Park there is a famous carousel with the stunning Manhattan skyline view.
The best thing to do at Brooklyn Bridge Park (in my opinion) is to get ice cream from the stalls and just chill by the waterfront for a magical New York City sunset.
4. Visit Wall Street to see NYSE, the Charging Bull and the Fearless Girl statue
Wall Street is the famous street in the Financial District where all the money are made (actually nowadays most of the financial institutions have moved to midtown).
However Wall Street is still a must see place when you visit New York City. Some of the most famous things to see at Wall Street include:
- The New York Stock Exchange
- The Charging Bull
- The Fearless Girl Statue
- Do a walking tour
5. Pay tribute to the 911 Memorial & Museum
Located at the World Trade Center in New York City, the 9/11 Memorial Museum is a tribute to the victims and a commemoration of the events that took place on September 11, 2001 in New York City.
The memorial features 2 large reflecting pools, known as the North and South Pools, which mark the footprint of the fallen Twin Towers.
The museum tells the story of 9/11 through media, narratives, and a collection of monumental and authentic artifacts, presenting visitors with personal stories of loss, recovery, and hope.
9/11 Memorial & Museum tickets are included in the New York Pass.
6. Go to an observation deck (or 2 or 3) in NYC
New York City has numerous observation decks that overlook the city from different angles. You HAVE TO go up at least one of the observatories in New York City. No matter which observation decks you go up, you will have a sweeping panoramic view of New York City and even New Jersey.
In my opinion, if there is only one observatory you should visit, it should be Top of the Rock at the Rockefeller Center. It gives you this perfect view of Manhattan (both lower Manhattan and Central Park) and the Empire State Building. If you go early enough (the first time slot), you can get that iconic photo at Top of the Rock with the entire Manhattan below your feet.
If you want to do more observation decks in NYC, then I would highly recommend the Edge at Hudson Yards or SUMMIT One Vanderbilt. Both are unique in their own ways, and SUMMIT One is the best observation deck for kids because it is super interactive and kids love the room with balloons.
All the observatories except SUMMIT One are covered by the NYC Sightseeing Pass and the New York Pass. If you have the New York Pass, you can enter the Edge one hour before it opens to the public.
7. Ride a Yellow Cab in New York City
Yellow Taxis are a symbol of New York City (actually it’s mostly just Manhattan, the taxis in Queens are green). In recent years with the introduction of ride sharing services, more and more people are now riding in Uber and Lyft.
However just for the experience, you should try to hail a yellow cab and ride in one, just like what they show in movies and TV shows. Yellow Cabs do take credit cards but you should always ask first.
In fact sometimes it is cheaper to ride in a yellow cab than in an Uber or Lyft because of the surge charging. If you don’t feel comfortable hailing down a cab on the street, then download the Curb app to call a yellow cab to you.
8. Take the subway in New York City
You can take a taxi everywhere in New York City if you want but if you want the true New York experience, you will have to ride the subway.
Even though the New York City subway system is really ancient and it can be quite dirty and smelly (and HOT in the summer in the station), but this is how most New Yorkers get around!
The NYC subway costs the same regardless of distance and it is one of the only subway systems in the world that is open 24/7.
Trust me, it is quite an experience to ride the subway in New York City, especially if you are lucky enough to see some performances on the train or in the station.
One word of caution though, if you see an empty train car when every other train car is full, do not get on. It is most likely there is a really smelly homeless person in there. I’ve had to change cars at the next station a few times due to this issue.
Read my complete guide on how to ride the subway in New York City
9. Ride the tram to Roosevelt Island
While we are talking about transportation in New York City, we can’t forget the famous Roosevelt Island Tramway.
Ok I bet if this is your first or second time in New York City you probably haven’t heard of Roosevelt Island, which is a small island east of Manhattan (although it’s still considered Manhattan) with parks, Cornell Tech campus and residential buildings. In the month of April, Roosevelt Island is also full of cherry blossoms, making it one of the prettiest places to see cherry blossoms in NYC.
The Roosevelt Island Tramway is an aerial tramway in New York City that spans the East River and connects Roosevelt Island to the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
The tramway is the first commuter aerial tramway in North America, having opened in 1976. Riding the tramway across the East River is definitely one of the best things to do in New York City since it is so unique.
10. Visit the Little Red Lighthouse in Fort Washington
This is also not something on a first time visitors’ radar, but it is a nice “hidden gem” that most locals know about.
The Little Red Lighthouse is a famous lighthouse located in Fort Washington Park next to the Hudson River under the George Washington Bridge. It was made notable by the 1942 children’s book The Little Red Lighthouse and the Great Gray Bridge.
A lot of couples take engagement photos at the red lighthouse, so if you want that perfect Instagram photo you should stop by there.
11. Shop in Soho
If shopping is on your mind and you love fancy boutiques or cute shops, shopping in SOHO is one of the best things to do New York City for you.
Located in lower Manhattan, Soho is an expensive and cute neighborhood with tons of shops and restaurants. You can find all the biggest brands in Soho so it is a shopper’s paradise.
Almost all major brands have a shop there and many bloggers and influencers go to Soho to take photos. Even if you don’t want to shop, it’s always nice to appreciate the busy vibe and the architecture in Soho. The best streets to check out in Soho are West Broadway, Thompson, and Greene, where you will find stores like CHANEL, Burberry, YSL, Watches of Switzerland, etc.
Besides shopping Soho also has a number of cute cafes, pop up shops, restaurants and Museum of Ice Cream. My favorite cafes in Soho is Biblioteque, a cute bookstore with a cafe inside (and turns into a bar at night).
12. Stop by Times Square To See the Lights (and get out of there ASAP)
Even though I am not a fan of Times Square (I mean which New Yorker is a fan), you really can’t say you have been to New York City without a visit to Times Square and the theater district.
No matter what time of the day (or even during a pandemic), Times Square is always lively and busy. You will be dazzled by all the lights and all the street performers. However, real New Yorkers avoid Times Square like a plague.
Also, don’t expect to find good food there, it’s all chain restaurants with inflated prices (except Los Tacos No.1). If you want good food near Times Square, walk west over to Hell’s Kitchen for some awesome restaurants. My favorite restaurants in Hell’s Kitchen include:
- Pure Thai Cookhouse
- Kochi
- Añejo
- Pio Pio
- Totto Ramen
13. Visit the Friends’ Building and the Sex and City Apartment in the West Village
West Village is one of my favorite neighborhoods in New York City with its European vibe and unique collection of awesome restaurants, shops and bars.
Another reason to visit the West Village is to see the “Friends” building (90 Bedford Street) and the Sex and City Apartment (64 Perry Street) from the outside. You can’t go inside to tour these buildings but you can certain capture a photo or two from the outside.
Even if you have no interest in the shows, it’s always nice to walk around the West Village, stop by some cute restaurant and trendy cafes (like these floral coffee shops in NYC) and grab some gelato.
You really can’t go wrong with eating and drinking in the West Village, since it’s not really that touristy and it is one of the trendiest and richest neighborhoods in New York City.
14. Read a Book at the New York Public Library
The New York Public Library is one of the largest libraries in the US (second largest in fact) and the 4th largest in the world.
The main branch of the library is on 5th Avenue next to Bryant Park in mid town. The architecture of the building itself is already impressive, but you’d be even more impressed with its collection of over 53 million items.
Reading a book at the New York Public Library should definitely be one of your New York City bucket list items. If you are not interested in books, just walking around the building is amazing in itself, since the building was featured in the movie The Day After Tomorrow.
The most impressive room in the library is the Rose Reading Room, which only allows people who want to ready/ study or those with a free library tour.
In addition, you can also find the REAL collection of Winnie the Pooh at the New York Public Library, making it one of the best hidden gems in New York City.
15. Walk the High Line to Hudson Yards
The High Line is a public park built on a historic freight rail line elevated above the streets on Manhattan’s West Side. Saved from demolition by neighborhood residents and the City of New York, the High Line opened in 2009 as a hybrid public space where visitors experience nature, art, and design.
It is one of the best things to do in New York City on a nice day as you get to enjoy some peace and greenery in the busy city (and check out the fancy apartments next to the High Line).
While you can just walk a little bit of the High Line to get a feel, but you can also walk the entire thing from the area near Chelsea Market all the way up to Hudson Yards. Along the walk you can also get off and explore the surrounding area such as Little Island, Pier 57, and the new man-made beach next to Little Island.
16. Be part of the show at Sleep No More
Sleep No More is an immersive theatrical experience based on Shakespeare’s Macbeth. Taking place in an old hotel, audience will be given a mask and taken to different floors to start the show.
The entire show will be done by various actors with audiences silently following them and interacting with them. It is one of the most unique theatrical experience you can have in New York City.
Unfortunately this show is going to finish on May 27, 2024, so if you are in New York City before then, make sure to check it out.
17. Watch a Broadway Show and an off Broadway Show
The show business in NYC is no joke; it is a city (besides London) where you can find all the famous (and not so famous) shows in theater.
Broadway shows are famous and worth seeing but off-Broadway Shows can just be as fun (there is also off-off-Broadway shows if you are interested). If you love theaters then watching a Broadway show is the best thing to do in New York City for you.
And if you visit New York City in the fall, you can potentially catch the Broadway Week to get 2-to-1 tickets for many popular shows.
Some of my favorite Broadway shows include:
18. Visit Central Park All Times of the Year
It should be a no brainer for anyone visiting New York City to stop by Central Park. You can ride a bike, jog, picnic or even ride a carriage in Central Park.
Central Park is beautiful all year round, with cherry blossom and magnolias in the spring, concerts in the summer, foliage in the fall and it turns into a winter wonderland in the winter.
The park is big, so it could take half a day to fully explore, although you can just visit for an hour to get a feel. If you do want to fully explore, I would highly suggest that you rent a bike to bike around the park.
The best spots in Central Park you should not miss include:
- Wollman Rink
- The Mall and LIbrary Walk
- Bethesda Fountain and Terrace
- Bow Bridge
- Belvedere Castle
Bike rental in Central Park is covered by the NYC Sightseeing Pass.
19. Visit the MET and the Cloisters
You may have heard of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (the MET) near Central Park but did you know that the MET has a second location called the Cloisters, which brings you back to the Middle Ages?
As the name implies, the museum is inside a Cloister-like complex in Washington Heights. The complex is located up a hill, and includes a series of gardens, galleries, chapels that house a large collection of artworks.
If you are a Medieval art and history lover, you should definitely take the hike to the Cloisters.
20. Tour St. Patrick’s Cathedral (or Attend a Mass There if You Are Catholic)
St. Patrick’s Cathedral is the largest Catholic cathedral in New York City (and in North America). It is not a museum but an active Catholic Church with scheduled Mass and other events.
Even if you are not religious, you should still stop by to visit St. Patrick’s Cathedral and marvel at the art and stained glass inside. The best way to visit St. Patrick’s Cathedral is to do a self guided audio tour and understand the history of the cathedral.
Tour is covered by the NYC Sightseeing Pass and the New York Pass.
21. Marvel at Grand Central Terminal
Grand Central is the most famous train station in New York City and it is featured in numerous movies and shows.
It is probably the prettiest transportation hub in New York City (although some may argue that the Oculus is the prettiest). Besides just a train and subway station, there are numerous shops and some restaurants and a hidden there as well.
Many people also take their engagement and wedding photos there since it is such an iconic place in New York City.
22. Watch a performance at the Lincoln Center
The Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts is a famous performance center that houses world class performances. Events include opera, ballet, orchestra, etc.
If you are into performances and music, then watching a performance at the Lincoln Center is definitely a bucket list NYC item for you.
You can see their calendar of performances to see what interests you. However, besides watching a performance, it is also a beautiful piece of architecture to check out. It is known for its beautiful fountain and open plaza, and there are occasional events and holiday decorations at the Lincoln Center every year.
23. Enjoy An Early Morning Visit to the Little Island
The Little Island is an artificial island on the west side of Manhattan (next to the Meatpacking District, on the Hudson River).
It opened in 2021 and has since become a popular tourist attraction in NYC (and also because it is free to visit). However the island is quite small and is best visited early morning before it gets crowded. From Little Island, you can see downtown Manhattan as well as New Jersey. You can also spot The Edge at Hudson Yards if you look north.
While you are at Little Island, be sure to stop by Pier 57 right next door to get this beautiful view of Little Island and eat at some of the trendiest food spots in the city.
24. Admire the Manhattan Skyline from Gantry Plaza State Park and See the Pepsi Sign (Queens)
Gantry Plaza State Park is a beautiful riverside park in Long Island City. It’s actually one of my favorite places to visit in Queens.
It is relatively new with good amenities and a nice view of the Manhattan Skyline. There is also a famous Pepsi-Cola neon sign at this park, making it easy to recognize from the Manhattan side.
During the annual Fourth of July fireworks show, Gantry Plaza State Park is filled with people, as it has the best view of the fireworks. Given its proximity to Manhattan, it also boosts one of the best skyline views in New York City.
25. Check out the Oculus
The Oculus is a transportation Hub and a premium shopping center designed by the Spanish Designer Santiago Calatrava. It costed about 4 billion dollars to build and now it’s one of the premier shopping centers and a subway station.
The Oculus is right next to World Trade Center so you don’t need to walk far and you will recognize its white exterior pretty easily.
26. Bask in Arts at Guggenheim Museum
Guggenheim Museum is an art museum on the Upper East side of Manhattan near Central Park. It has a huge collection of Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, early Modern and contemporary art and also has other special exhibitions throughout the year.
Besides the art exhibits, Guggeneheim Museum is famous for its unique architectural style, both inside and outside. You don’t need to take stairs or elevators to go up the multiple floors, as the entire building is a giant spiral.
If you are an art lover you definitely need to put Guggenheim Museum on your New York City bucket list.
Guggenheim Museum is covered by the NYC Sightseeing Pass and the New York Pass.
27. Tour the NBC Studio and See Your Favorite Shows Live
The NBC Studio at Rockefeller Center is a tourist favorite with tours of the studio to see behind-the-scene access to the studios where some of the most well knowns shows are made, like Saturday Night Live, Jimmy Fallon, Late Night with Seth Meyers, etc. You can also reserve free tickets to see the taping of certain NBC shows.
28. Check Out the Farmer Market at Union Square
Union Square is a large public square on 14th street in Lower Manhattan. There is a lively outdoor farmer’s market every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 8am to 6pm year round.
Here you will find fresh produce, dairy products, meat, honey, maple syrup, bread and eggs. You will see a ton of locals buying produces there on the weekends.
Besides the Farmer Market, Union Square also has a holiday market every winter starting after Thanksgiving, with a ton of shops and things to eat.
29. Enjoy Modern Art at MoMA
Another museum to add onto your NYC bucket list is the Museum of Modern Art in midtown.
MoMA houses an extensive collection of paintings, sculptures, photographs, films, and design objects from renowned artists like Picasso, Warhol, and Van Gogh.
The museum also features rotating exhibitions that showcase a diverse range of artistic movements and perspectives, making it a must-visit destination for art enthusiasts.
MOMA is covered by the NYC Sightseeing Pass and the New York Pass.
30. See Dinosaurs and the Blue Whale at American Museum of Natural History
Founded in 1869, the American Museum of Natural History is one of the largest natural history museums in the world.
The museum’s extensive collection spans various scientific disciplines, including anthropology, paleontology, zoology, and astronomy.
There are multiple stories in the museum and you will find a range of exhibits including a very large collection of dinosaur fossils as well as mammals, blue whale, etc.
In 2023 a new wing opened at the museum, called Richard Gilder Center for Science. It is designed like a canyon and it offers new attractions and a butterfly vivarium. Another really cool thing to do at the Museum of Natural History is its Invisible World Exhibit, an interactive digital art experience that is impressive and popular for both adults and kids.
31. Visit Coney Island, especially the New York Aquarium
Coney Island is a NYC neighborhood in Brooklyn that’s famous for its aquarium, amusement parks, the beach and boardwalk. It is open all year round although lifeguards are only on duty from Memorial Day to Labor day.
There are fireworks on Friday evening at 9:30 during the season and it is famous for hot dogs (as the birthplace of the hot dog). The New York Aquarium on Coney Island is the oldest aquarium in the US and worth a visit.
I honestly learned about Coney Island from the film Cloverfield (actually one of my favorite movies). There was a final scene shot from Coney Island where you could see something falling into the water. After that movie I made a note to myself that I gotta visit Coney Island one day. I am glad no “satellite” fell into the water when I was on Coney Island.
You can spend a whole day on Coney Island, especially if you visit the aquarium. The Aquarium itself has a really nice shark exhibit and my personal favorite thing to do on Coney Island is actually the amusement park. There is an adult one and a small kids one, making Coney Island a super fun and family destination.
The New York Aquarium and Coney Island Amusement Parks are covered by the NYC Sightseeing Pass.
32. Grab a Drink at a Rooftop bar
There is no shortage of roof top bars in NYC and it is actually one of the most popular summer night activities in the city. You can grab a drink, stand or sit outside, check out beautifully dressed people and the lovely New York City skyline view.
Some of the most popular roof top bars in NYC include:
- 230 Fifth
- The Press Lounge (my favorite)
- Westlight (in Brooklyn)
- Overstory
- Panorama Room
- Nubeluz
33. Marvel at the Statue of Liberty
The Statue of Liberty is THE symbol of New York City and is one of the best things to see in New York City. You can see the Statue of Liberty for free from Governor’s Island as well as from the free Staten Island Ferry.
But of course you can always do an actual tour of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. If you want to go up to the Crown, you need to book tickets at least 3 months in advance.
Personally I enjoy seeing the Statue of Liberty from Governor’s Island on a nice summer day. You can rent a bike to bike around the island, and there are a ton of food trucks and even a fancy spa on Governor’s Island!
Tour of Statue of Liberty is covered by the New York Pass.
34. See the Flatiron Building (Currently Under Construction)
Once the tallest building in Manhattan at its completion in 1902, Flatiron building a now a landmark building located right next to Eataly and Madison Square Park. The name Flatiron comes from the fact it resembles a clothes iron.
While it only takes a second to look at the Flatiron Building, what is appealing is that it is located right next to Eataly, the Italian themed grocery shop which also includes restaurants and cafes. There is also the Lego store right next to it.
If that’s not enough, you can grab Shake Shack from the original store in Madison Square Garden, or you can just enjoy the vibe at Flatiron, one of my favorite areas in New York City (besides Soho and West Village).
Best food to eat in New York City that you should add to your NYC Bucket List
There are some essential food in New York City that you absolutely need to try. Your NYC bucket list is simply not complete without trying all these New York City specialty food.
35. Eat Steak at Peter Luger (cash only)
Like Steak? New York City has some really famous steakhouses and one of the most iconic steakhouse in New York City is Peter Luger Steak House in Brooklyn.
Reservation required and it is cash only. But it is the most iconic steakhouse in New York City for a good reason.
36. Do a New York City Pizza Tour (self-lead tour that is)
Another iconic food in New York City that you absolutely cannot miss is pizza. Unlike the deep dish pizza in Chicago, New York City pizza generally has thin crust.
There are so many good pizza places in NYC that I really can’t just list a single one, so here are some of the best pizzas in NYC (most are in Brooklyn):
- Joe’s Pizza
- Julianna’s
- Lucali
- Di Fara
- Paulie Gee’s
- Scarr’s
- Prince St. Pizza
- Patsy’s
- LB Spumoni Gardens (their ice cream is good too)
- Roberta’s
If you are just hanging out in Manhattan, then you probably will see multiple Joe’s Pizza since there are a few in the city. I also really like Prince Street Pizza, their pepperoni slices are really good. But honestly, my personal favorite is Lucali, which was featured on the Nextflix Show Ugly Delicious. It is pretty insane to get a table at Lucali though, since they don’t take reservations.
37. Stuff Yourself with Bagel & Lox
New York City has the best bagel, there, I said it! I don’t know if it’s the water or something else, but New York City bagel really does taste good! I’ve had bagels from Montreal and other cities, and none can rival New York City bagels.
Honestly if you don’t eat bagels in NYC, you really can’t say you’ve been to the city. While it is really hard to pinpoint the best bagel place in the city, here are some of my favorite:
- Ess-A-Bagel (yes it’s touristy but I really love it)
- Murray’s Bagels
- Tompkins Square Bagels
- Popup Bagel
- Apollo Bagel <— super trendy, long line
When you order, be sure you get the everything bagel and not toasted! In addition, we love our lox and Bagel. So if you want lox, then you definitely need to go to Russ & Daughters (although I would suggest getting your own bagel from the list above then get the lox from Russ & Daughters).
38. Grab a Pastrami Sandwich from Katz
Jewish delis are a thing in NYC and one of the most famous one is Katz’s Delicatessen. Before the pandemic there used to be long line to eat there, famous for its legendary pastrami sandwiches.
Now before you say anything, I know Katz is super touristy and many people thing it’s just a place for tourists. Actually I have to disagree as I know New Yorkers (born and raised) that love Katz and say that nothing else (like Pastrami Queens) can compare to Katz.
If you have time, also check out some other Jewish deli in the city and try the other famous Jewish dishes.
39. Eat Dim Sum in Chinatown (or Brooklyn Chinatown)
Dim Sum is best explained as a Chinese brunch tradition with a large range of small dishes. It’s almost like tapas, which are meant to be shared.
But what is super unique about dim sum is that you don’t order off a menu, I mean you could, but that’s not the experience. The experience is that you wait for these dim sum ladies to push their dim sum cart to your table, then you pick from the cart! After you pick your small dishes, they will put a stamp on this card to show how many (and what size dishes) you ordered.
Pre-pandemic, there were a lot of dim sum restaurants in Chinatown and you would need to line up at 10am in order to get in at a decent time.
While most non-Asian visitors flock to Nom Wah Tea Parlor, you will never find a real Chinese person there, because we’ve had better. Instead, you should head to Golden Unicorn or Jing Fong for dim sum. The rule of thumb is, if you don’t see a Chinese person in a Chinese restaurant, it is not authentic!
40. Enjoy Korean BBQ in K Town
If you have never had Korean BBQ then you are missing out! They are quite different from the BBQ you get in Texas (with different types of meat, marination, etc).
K town (aka Korea Town) at Herald Square has some of the best Korean BBQ restaurants in Manhattan, and even K pop mega group BTS has eaten at one of the Korean BBQ places in K Town before.
41. Try the Banana Pudding from Magnolia’s
Most people know Magnolia’s from Sex and the City for its renowned cupcakes. However, New Yorkers actually go to Magnolia’s for its banana pudding instead of cupcakes.
You don’t need a big tub, even a small size will leave you more than satisfied, but yeah, definitely try the Banana pudding, you won’t regret it.
42. Eat a Levain Cookie
If there is one cookie you need to eat in New York City before you die, that’s the chocolate chip and walnut cookie from Levain Bakery.
The bakery opened in 1995 on the Upper West Side and there has always been a long line to get these cookies. But now there are multiple locations throughout the city and even in other cities (I’ve seen Levain in Washington DC and Chicago).
The cookies are so soft and warm and will melt in your mouth. I also suggest you share one cookie with a few others, because it’s so big and sweet but sooooo delicious. Actually I would call them a cake instead of a cookie since it’s giant. But you won’t regret getting it and adding this to your NYC bucket list.
43. Get a Drink at a Speakeasy
New York is known for its Speakeasy and they can be quite an experience. Some of the most famous Speakeasies in NYC include Angel’s Share, PTD (Please Don’t Tell), Employees Only, UES, Bathtub Gin, etc.
Another really trendy place is Double Chicken Please in Lower East Side, which requires you to wait in line long before it opens. You will want to go into the backroom and not the front room.
Many of the speakeasies in New York City require advanced reservation or you may have to wait hours to get a seat, especially on the weekends at night.
44. Eat Your Favorite Burger at Shake Shack (Madison Square Park location)
Just like how California has In-n-Out, NYC has Shake Shack. Shake Shack started out as a hot dog cart inside Madison Square Park in 2001, but now it’s perhaps the most popular Burger chain in NYC.
While you are there, don’t forget to try their shakes, something they are also known for.
45. Don’t forget the Chicken & Rice from Halal Guys
Halal Guys were THE Halal cart in NYC with its famous Chicken & Rice. Although not only a cart anymore (there are multiple locations in NYC now), it’s still something to put on your NYC bucket list.
Be warned to not use too much of the red sauce, it’s EXTREMELY spicy.
46. Get Fried Chicken from Sylvia’s
If you want authentic Southern Fried Chicken in NYC, you should definitely head to Sylvia’s in Harlem. It is probably the most famous Southern fried chicken restaurant in New York City.
With over 7000 reviews on Google, you know you can’t go wrong with it. The most popular dishes is definitely the fried chicken & waffles, but people also love the Mac & Cheese andSweet Potato Pie.
47. Have a Pie at Petee’s Pie Company
There are a lot of pie places in NYC, but Petee’s Pie is one of my favorites. The most exceptional pie there is the toasted almond chess pie.
48. Get a Slice of Cheesecake in New York City
There are many iconic food in New York City and New York cheesecake is definitely one of them. It would be a shame to come to New York City without trying the famous New York cheesecake.
If you want these classic slices, then do not miss out on Veniero’s Pasticceria & Caffe in the East Village, Eileen’s Special Cheesecake in Nolita as well as Junior’s Restaurant in Brooklyn.
