Breakfast
Marc Meyer and Vicki Friedman’s all day restaurant Cookshop is a fun place to go for breakfast before or after touring The High Line. Seasonal items like a squash blossom frittata are served alongside popular mainstays like buttermilk pancakes, huevos rancheros, and a spinach and cheddar scramble. For a well-rounded breakfast, the bowl of kale, spinach, farro, falafel, feta, hazelnuts, and a sunnyside up egg is a strong choice.
Morning Visit
For over 30 years, ICFF has built a solid reputation as North America’s platform for global design. Over 900 exhibitors from across the globe showcase the newest frontier of what’s best and what’s next for luxury interior design to more than 38,000 attendees in the design industry. Expanding with the market it serves, ICFF 2019 has more than doubled in the past three editions and become more international in composition. So if you’re in NYC some day between May 19th and May 22nd, save the date!
Lunch
Ole & Steen is a popular Danish bakery chain that has set up its first NYC shop in Flatiron, full of Danish items from breakfast through dinner. Lunch brings soups, salads, and closed- and open-faced sandwiches such as smoked salmon and creme fraiche on rye; roast chicken with kale pesto on ciabatta; and a seared yellowfin tuna salad. A variety of pastries and bread round out the menu, from raspberry tarts and cinnamon rolls to a marshmallow puff cake and Danish rye.
Afternoon Visit
Central Park is an urban park in Manhattan, New York City. Central Park is the most visited urban park in the United States, with an estimated 37–38 million visitors annually, and one of the most filmed locations in the world. In terms of area, Central Park is the fifth largest park in New York City, covering 843 acres. So if you’re in town for a day, this is the one place you cannot miss!
Dinner
Come to eat at Charles’ Country Pan Fried Chicken. Chef Charles Gabriel started his Harlem soul food institution out of his house then moved onto a food truck, and finally to a storefront. The latest rendition of the restaurant is in a more prominent location, though he continues to serve the same tender, crispy chicken cooked in a cast-iron pan that pushed him into the limelight. This new outpost is still humble, with a menu above the counter and cafeteria-style ordering, but also, thankfully, has more seating.
Cocktail
Aside from leaving town, one of the best reasons to visit Grand Central Station is for this historic, not-so-secret bar. An homage to financier John W. Campbell, who used the space as his private office and reception hall in 1923, the ornate venue has 25-foot ceilings, a stone fireplace, steel safe, a century-old glass window and Florentine design. Expect classic cocktails, a dedicated Old-Fashionds and Negronis menu, plus house cocktails. We recommend the Blonde Negroni, made with Hendricks Gin, Cocchi Americano, and Suze.
In Case You Stay More Than 24 Hours
The Hotel Paramount in New York City is a hotel located at 235 West 46th Street, to the west of Broadway. Designed by Thomas W. Lamb, construction was completed in 1928. In 1988, the hotel was closed for an 18-month remodeling project. In 1990, the hotel, under the ownership of Ian Schrager and redesigned by Philippe Starck, reopened as the Paramount Hotel. The hotel underwent a seven-month-long renovation in 1998 at a cost of $7 million, which included enhancements to lobby lighting. And you can also see Coltrane Suspension Lamp by DelightFULL at the hotel lobby!
