New York City, the city that never sleeps. It's true! You can always find something to do when you're in the city. As a Hudson Valley-based company, we love New York City because many of us lived there before moving upstate. The city holds a special place in our hearts. The liveliness of the streets, incredible food and shopping scene, impromptu concerts and late night shows, and yes, even the rush hour traffic seems to have a feel-good (in small doses) nostalgic feeling. While it would be quite the feat to cover every cool place located the city, this guide includes our top choices — some old and some new — that we recommend to anyone visiting. We hope you bookmark this for your next trip or pass it along to someone who needs it.
Located on a quaint, cobblestone street, this hotel feels like living in bohemian luxury. You'll swoon over the perfectly paired prints and patterns. Pro-tip: Don't miss out on the rooftop garden.
Not only does MADE have the coolest, plant-filled rooftop, but their rooms feel just as special. Even the lobby is a favorite of ours for working and sipping coffee.
What used to be the old George Washington Hotel, this spot has a lot of history with old musicians and artists alike. It still holds true to its hip feel and ambiance.
This new Italian spot in the West Village has drawn a lot of attention, particular with celebrities. So TLDR: Yes you might have a sighting during your meal here! The good is great, the vibes are great, and the interiors, well, also great.
This minimalistic Korean soju bar is best known for their unique drinks, specifically mocktails. Add booze to them if that's what you're craving, or don't. You decide!
An excellent Italian restaurant, which you may have seen on Instagram due to its very loud, pink interiors. The food is just as good as the design of this place.

If central park were inside the lobby of an office building (yes, you heard that right). This one is for all the architecture lovers. A public courtyard atrium inside a 12-story glass cube.
A public park built overtop a historic freight line. The whole walking path is 1.45 miles but it feels like much longer when you're enjoying all the views.
An adored museum around the globe, you can find some of our favorite artists' works here: Georgia O'Keefe, Picasso, and Pollack, to name a few.
This architectural salvage is a Harlem institution. Get lost in two stories full of lighting, plumbing fixtures, doors, windows, mirrors, hardware and smaller found objects from former NYC landmark buildings.
Our go-to spot for custom framing in NYC. They do the framing for some big name artists and galleries, but the price can't be beat for the quality. You’re welcome.
Grocery shopping, but make it fun. Like really fun. This shop will make any organized, color-fanatic go wild.
A blast of color and fun, this store feels like you’re walking through a fairytale dream. Make your own charmed necklaces or bracelets while you’re there for that extra nostalgia.
