Parks & Nature

It's the greatest park in the world. It's actually better than Central Park. I swear. You can enter it best right at Grand Army Plaza.

This park is a little hidden gem, no one really knows about it and because it's elevated it has great views of the Botanic Gardens next door. Great for runners.

Drinks & Nightlife

There is absolutely no better place to get a cocktail. Emphasis on cocktail, this is not a shot and beer bar. Sit in the garden if it's nice or enjoy the gorgeous interior if not & enjoy your life. BTW, there's no sign, just a white tile exterior. a true speakeasy!
