New York City



Attraction Name
Top of the Rock
Description
One of the best, if not the best, view of the city. Sitting on the 67-69th floors of Rockefeller Center, you can see the entire city from here, including Central Park, the Empire State Building, downtown, the Statue of Liberty and others.

Quite a breath-taking view of the city. Just be aware if it's windy on the ground, it's going to be insanely windy up top.

Bar Name
Grotto Azzurra
Description
Nice, quiet bar/restaurant in Little Italy. Nice bartender and tasty (strong) drinks. Fairly expensive, but the environment is nice, and it's close to a lot of other restaurants.

Bar Name
Playwright Tavern  (http://www.playwrighttavern.com)
Description
Excellent bar with a top and bottom bar. Good beer selection and decent English/Irish food.

The waitresses are authentic and pleasant.

I'd recommend getting the Carta Vieja Cabernet. It's quite cheap and you can't find it many places.

Restaurant Name
Angelos of Mulberry St
Description
My favorite restaurant in Little Italy. Make sure to go early in the evenings because there's normally a wait, though it's absolutely worth it.

The eggplant rollatine is quite good, and any of specials or items on the menu will be authentic and incredibly good. Entrees cost around $20-$25.

Restaurant Name
Da Umberto's
Description
Fantastic Italian restaurant just off of Union Square. If you blink, you can miss it.

Try the pasta carbonara for an app for the table. It's unbelievable.

The villa di capezzana (carmignano 2001) cabernet is one of the better Italian wines that I've had there. Highly recommended.

Nice little bistro on 7th ave close to Times Square. Try the Pressatas.

It's a chain, but still good.

Restaurant Name
Plataforma Restaurant  (http://www.churrascariaplataforma.com)
Description
Amazing Brazilian BBQ restaurant... you know, the kind where they give you a stop/go sign and you eat meat until you can't eat meat anymore. It's expensive, but well worth the money.

While you're there, try the caiparoska (Kai-pa-ro-ska). It's a very strong, but quite tasty Brazilian drink.
