It's owned by the best seafood market in NYC. Which means it's food is insanely good. But the real treat is its Oyster Happy Hour from 3-6pm. 1.00$ per Oyster may seem standard happy hour but instead of one or two varieties, they offer up to 20 as well as an assortment of clams too. From Atlantic to Pacific, no other place in the city has as fresh and as great a variety.

Sure, it's an expensive sandwich but nothing compares to Katz's Pastrami sandwich. A masterpiece of meat theater. If you must die from a heart attack, let this sandwich be your last bite.

Their Pho is tasty too but they do not serve it with tendon, a grave omission to some (like my wife), a welcome relief to others. If you don’t eat meat, their meat like substance Summer rolls are so good that I wonder if my canines are just a fashion choice.

Friendly and helpful. If you want more out of biking in Brooklyn then Citi bike, renting from a bike shop is the way to go. Just remember to rent a decent lock.

This is the most awesome boat tour, especially around sunset. We're NY'ers who never to touristy things, but this is different. Decent price, not too short, not too long. The silence of the sails and the magnificent harbor views from the deck make it perfect.

Above the ground park on an abandoned rail line is perfect for strolling or people watching. Below, numerous restaurants abound. The views a quintessential downtown NYC.

It's ugly, designed by committee and not worthy of the sacrifice it was built upon. It's truly a monument of mediocrity. NYC deserves better. In short, I hate this building. It stands for nothing but square footage and efficiency. It's may be taller than the Twin Towers but manages to be the poster child for underwhelming. But the Oculus below ground is something.

The Best Bike Path in the City. Grab a Citibike and take the West Side Highway Bike path along the Hudson River for several miles. It's absolutely beautiful around sunset. Grab a drink in the Village and continue up the West Side. Chill on the Piers and then end your trip at the Lightship Frying Pan Tugboat for another drink and a bite.
