They recently opened a new location where I work in Hudson yards - 34th and 10th. Walk the highline from 14th to get there. The vessel is right there (closed because of jumpers) but you can also go to the edge for a great view of the city (Edge Observation Deck NYC) and you can climb along the tower outside if you're daring (City Climb). Neither is free.I'll throw out a few random suggestions then.
- The Neue Galerie has beautiful artwork and architecture, and isn't a full day's commitment to run around. Klimt is a master.
- You're not too far from my favorite pizza places, Rubirosa/Joe & Pat's (basically the same pizza; Rubirosa's vodka pie is marginally better but it's also more annoying to get into).
- Russ & Daughter's is the classic appetizing place in the city. Amazing lox.
- Maybe you want to go shopping for a bit? Economy Candy is cool. Fishs Eddy has all sorts of eclectic NY stuff. Self Edge and Blue in Green are great for high end menswear.
- Thai Diner and Superiority Burger are both new, very popular, and not too expensive while being close by.
- Head down to Brooklyn Heights, walk the promenade, go down into Brooklyn Bridge Park and swing by Jane's Carousel into Dumbo and take that same photo everyone takes on Front Street. Or maybe go the other direction and take out pasta from Lilo's and eat outdoors by Pier 5.
- Maybe you want to go to a viewing platform to see the world from up high; I'd recommend Summit which is very tall, right by Grand Central, and gives you three floors of views to check out.
As me tomorrow and I might give you a totally different list though![]()
From there it's a quick walk to MSG and you'll pass by an NHL store in Manhattan West Plaza between 10th and 9th ave.
