Here's a list of spots we have visited during a 10 holiday in New York City. The venue's we most appriciated and you should defenitily visit before you go home again :)
Vincent Velema: Another great museum, you should definitely visit and do get yourself some nice lunch or dinner at the Wright restaurant next door. Both must do's :)
30 Rockefeller Plz (btwn 5th & 6th Ave), New York, NY
Scenic Lookout · Rockefeller Center · 881 tips and reviews
Vincent Velema: Amazing view, go check it out an hour before sunset. You'll have the time 2 go through the waitingline and be on top before sunset sets in. You will see the city before sunset, untill sundown. Awesome
131 W 3rd St (btwn MacDougal St & 6th Ave), New York, NY
Jazz and Blues Venue · Greenwich Village · 175 tips and reviews
Vincent Velema: Everyday, the greatest Jazz, live for your enjoyment. Come, go there any day of the week. We enjoyed an awesome performance of Kurt Elling :)
Vincent Velema: Yep you have got to go to a show on Broadway... any theater or show will do, but know that the best shows, you need to get tickets for weeks on forehand!
541 Amsterdam Ave (btwn W 86th & W 87th St), New York, NY
Bagel Shop · Upper West Side · 161 tips and reviews
Epicurious: This classic eatery hasn't been around for 100 years for no reason - the smoked fish, latkes, and friendly waitstaff are legendary. But beware - you'll never settle for subpar lox ever again!
136 Wooster St (btwn Houston & Prince), New York, NY
Shoe Store · SoHo · 24 tips and reviews
Vincent Velema: Buy yourselves some white white superstars! They are seldom sold completely white in Europe so get 'm here and have some exclusives at home :)

Vincent Velema: the main entrance is on 5th ave. go there and you will be less herassed by the NYskyride touristtraps salesguys. Usual ticket is around 20$ (touristtrap package goes upto 50$!)
Mediterranean Restaurant · SoHo · 123 tips and reviews
Andrea Hong: Totally lovely and adorable spot. Come for brunch with live jazz, and share the Turkish breakfast platter. Sit by the open doors w a cocktail when it's warm, or cozy up w mint green tea in winter.
naveen: on the corner of two of my most favorite streets in new york city: pell and doyers. they're especially mysterious at night. surprise someone as you're walking through chinatown + grab drinks inside.
Sandwich Spot · Lower East Side · 1450 tips and reviews
The Corcoran Group: A true New York original, absolutely order the incredible pastrami, but be warned about re-enacting Meg Ryan's famous performance from 'When Harry Met Sally' filmed here!
