NYC: Suggestions for off the beaten path suggestions
We will be heading to NYC at the end of June, any suggestions of things to do that off the beaten path? Open to any suggestions.
Also, how is the flea market in Hells Kitchen? Thanks!
Re: NYC: Suggestions for off the beaten path suggestions
How off the beaten path?
I'd explore Brooklyn. Williamsburg has a lot of good restaurants and some cute shops. So does Carroll Gardens (though it is farther from Manhattan). I haven't been to DeKalb Market yet, but it is high on my list of places to try this summer. The Brooklyn Flea is cool (haven't been to the Hell's Kitchen one -- sorry!)
It isn't off the beaten track exactly, but it is fun to walk around the West Village and regular Village. There are parts that are touristy, but there are parts that are very neighborhoody.
The East Village has a ton of great restaurants. If you like shopping for food, on the Lower East Side Essex Market is cool and Economy Candy is fun, and then you could go to Russ & Daughters or Katz's (which is touristy but really good) for something more substantial.
If you like pizza, Scott's Pizza Tour is really fun and his bus tours tend to go to several boroughs, so you'd see neighborhoods you probably wouldn't otherwise.
Harlem has some great restaurants too. I love getting chicken and waffles at Amy Ruth's.
The Cloister is almost a day trip because it is WAY uptown, but it is in a lovely setting.
The Museum of Sex is a good time... depending on what your interest is
Very interesting and certainly off the beaten path of the typical stodgy museums in the city.
I lived in the city for a couple years, and there's obviously a TON to do. I guess I'd need to know a little more about what you're looking for. (restaurants, sightseeing, parks, etc)
I agree with Brooklyn. I prefer it over Manhattan. It's easier to walk around and you don't feel dirty (like I do after walking around times square).
I'd recommend Brooklyn Brewery and visiting Park slope area. There's lots of parks and good bars. Williamsburg is very hipster-centric but has great restaurants. You could always take the subway to coney island too. A bit of a haul, but may be fun
