Electrifying New York City

Our family finally returned to the Big Apple! Living in New Hampshire back in the 90’s, we made the road trip to the City several times for Broadway shows, Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parades, and attending the Late Show with David Letterman. But now, we were back with our adult children and here are the fun activities we discovered during the Christmas season.

Artichoke Pizza – outstanding pizza slices

1410 Broadway @ 39th St, 114 10th Ave @ 17th St

Beatnic – simple vegetarian stop with a yummy Guac Burger and Quinoa Taco Salad

1385 Broadway between 6th & 7th Ave

Zucker’s Bagels & Smoked Fish – tasty bagel stop

1065 6th Ave @ 40th St

2nd Avenue Deli – definitely a kosher place where they do not serve dairy! Best Rueben sandwich, but at a price

162 E 33rd St @ 3rd Ave

Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao – we watched them make the dumplings

24 W 33rd St between 5th & 6th Ave

Brooklyn Bagels & Coffee Company – we decided that this was the BEST bagels stop in town!

286 8th Ave between 24th St & 25th St

Garden of Eden – wonderfully merchandised European grocery store – we just loved it

7 E. 14th St by 5th Ave

Jack’s Wife Freda – Lively bistro executing American-Mediterranean cooking & classic cocktails in understated digs

226 Lafayette, 116 8th Ave @ 16th St
