Food Scene
Avenue A is THE hot spot for NYC nightlife with plenty of restaurants, bars, and local coffee places; but step inside your home and it's quiet enough to hear a pin drop... I've tried it!

The Bean
31 3rd AveExcellent iced coffee!
Iced coffee - It may seem like a chain, but there are only a handful of them here in NYC.
Much better coffee than Starbucks. I'll often come here and spend my day working when I need an new environment!

Sightseeing
This is the first place I recommend going when you arrive in NYC.
The views are AMAZING.
If you have the opportunity, I would recommend timing your entry so that you are able to catch the sunset. This allows you to see the view from both the night and day.
There is also a restaurant where you can dine. However, there is a cafe for those more budget conscious.

Arts & Culture
The museum opened in Spring of 2015 and is a modern work of art itself. I have spent afternoons strolling in and out with my friends, looking at art, and lounging in the outside decks.
A must visit after a stroll along the High Line.

Parks & Nature
Great for people watching and taking a stroll. In NYC, we get very creative with the use of our space!
According to Wikipedia:
The High Line is a 1.45-mile-long New York City linear park built in Manhattan on an elevated section of a disused New York Central Railroad spur called the West Side Line.
