Food Scene
Our favorite breakfast place! Ess-a-bagel is renowned for its delicious bagels! To avoid the long line, we always buy the bagel and cream cheese separately, and make the sandwich ourselves.

Arts & Culture
Personally, we find the British Museum or the Louvre have better collections than the Met. But since you're already here, why not drop by? We recommend the American Wing since it's unique from others.
