I'm an avid runner + the East River is a great place to run. Straight down 10th Street will take you over the FDR + to a beautiful path by the river with stunning views on the Williamslburg Bridge + Brooklyn.

The Highline has become one of the most popular places to see for New York visitors. It's a wonderful old train track overlooking the west side of lower Manhattan, complete with native plants landscaping.

Essentials

I don't know that i would have survived New York without Trader Joe's. The prices are significantly cheaper than anything else in the city, so you can eat well without breaking the bank. I love the frozen Indian entrees for an easy dinner.

This is another close grocery option. Trader Joe's has a limited selection + most things are their own brand, so if you need something specific, this is likely your closest best bet.

I'm obsessed with this place. Even if you don't like to cook--I do--this is a great place to see. It feels like it's from another world, filled with bulk spices + grains.

Best of the best. I don't spend much time uptown, but MoMA is worth the trip. While you're there, you might as well visit Central Park.

I also have a membership here :) The Guggenheim only has one exhibit at a time, aside from their small permanent collection, but the space--one of Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpieces--is worth the price of admission.
