Beautiful views of the city. I would only recommend if it is warm enough to stay outside. Best time to choose is in the early evening to get the views both in the day light and in the dark.

Because you have to get a bagel in NY. Don't be afraid of the line, it is moving fast. Not necessarily a nice place. I prefer to take my bagel and eat it home or in Central Park. $

Amazing views of the Central Park. Top floor of the Design Museum. If you want to check all the museums in NY, go for the museum as well, but if your time is limited, there are definitely more important museums to see in NY. Go to Robert if you can make a reservation at the tables by the window. Otherwise, drinks at the bar are fine as well. $$$
