Get Started
Ground Zero
Today Queen Elizabeth plans to visit the site for the first time and will lay a wreath in tribute to the thousands who died in the 9/11 attack, including 67 Britons.
Statue of Liberty
The crown reopened in summer 2009 for the first time since 9/11 and will be open until 2011 when it is closed for renovations.
NBC Universal
"NBC Nightly News" anchor Brian Williams likes it so much here that he showed up for work on the 4th of July.
Brooklyn Bridge Park
On extremely hot days, be careful -- in July, 2010, temperatures on the black rubber playground here reached a city-wide high of 171 degrees Fahrenheit.
Shake Shack
This new location just opened, so the lines will be predictably epic. Stop by in the late afternoon when the crowds thin out and order their famed frozen custard along with your burger.
Oyster Bar
This Grand Central favorite tops the Village Voice's Top 10 Oyster Bar list. The atmosphere alone is worth the price, with enormous arched ceilings spanning above the restaurant.
STAPLES Center
In the post-game melee after the Lakers' championship, a taxi cab was torched. Staples Center owner AEG gave the driver $10,000 in compensation.
The Standard New York
Looking for Pepsi or Coke? Don't try this hotel's vending machine. Instead of snacks and drinks, their trendy machine dispenses $88 bikinis.
Hollister Co.
We have great respect for the scantily-clad frontmen who stand guard outside this Abercrombine subsidiary, but it was shut down recently for bedbugs (and now re-opened).
Puma Store - Soho
Drop off a pair of gently worn shoes to receive 30 percent off a new pair -- and get a free vuvuzela!
Statue of Liberty
Head to liberty island before October 2011-- in mid-autumn, the statue will be closed down while a new staircase is installed.
Café Habana
The takeout/delivery menu is different than the dine-in menu. Take out is limited, but the Steak Torta is delicious and delivery super-speedy. The Mexican corn can be considered a tourist attraction.
CO Bigelow Pharmacy
Though this pharmacy is now owned by The Limited, they maintain their independent feel, carrying their own line of products along with more typical merchandise.
Carolines on Broadway
We're huge fans of the venerable comedy club. Check out our interview series with their awesome comics.
Lure Restaurant & Sushi Bar
A definite HuffPost favorite, make sure to order the yellowtail jalapeno roll and ask for the Bash Burger (it's delicious). For dessert, ice cream sandwiches.
Barnes & Noble
Come for the well-curated "summer reading" table, but stay for the mezzanine's starbucks cafe-- you might be supporting two megachains at once, but the city recently gave them an A for cleanliness
American Airlines Center
The lobby's South Entrance features American Airlines planes dangling from the ceiling.
PS1 Contemporary Art Center
P.S.1 holds an enormous dance party in their courtyard every Saturday this summer. Arrive around 7 to skip the heat and see the best bands and DJs perform.
McNally Jackson Books & Café
Our neighborhood bookstore has a great selection, friendly staff and a lovely cafe.
Top of the Standard
Stunning views, but the hotel just announced that this fall, they're allowing private guests only. Stop by before 10pm on summer evenings while the club is still "public."
Cafe Duke - Soho
A HuffPost lunchtime staple, we like the udon noodles, salads, and sandwiches. Check-out is also super fast. Ka-ching!
Blue Ribbon Brasserie
Blue Ribbon's menu spans from fried chicken to cilantro-laced salsa, but their liquor-filled oysters keep the dedicated crowds returning.
RUB (Righteous Urban Barbeque)
The most successful and creative ideas were the Szechwan Smoked Duck, a lacquered duck that was particularly good as a left-over the next day, and a bacon sandwich with fried green tomatoes.
The Mermaid Inn
This East Village seafood shack has an Upper West Side sister as well, and both offer delicious lobster sandwiches.
Aquagrill
Try chef and owner Jeremy Marshall's fascinating falafel-crusted salmon at this neighborhood favorite.
Heinz Field
Forget the Terrible Towels, in May, 2010 a new t-shirt was designed specifically to taunt Ben Roethlisberger.
Greenlight Bookstore
Greenlight is a newcomer to the Brooklyn indie bookstore scene. Great staff, great selection, and make sure to check out their excellent author readings. Check out other great indie bookstores here:

Treat yourself to a chocolate chip cookie -- Soho's best. In fact, have two.

This lower east side staple might be dreary from the front, but inside is a covered garden and often, customers with their adorable pet dogs.
Zitomer Pharmacy
When Duane Reade's Wet & Wild selection doesn't cut it, head to this Upper East Side staple. While independent pharmacies seem to be a thing of the past, Zitomer maintains a devoted following.
Parisi Bakery Delicatessen
Huge, delicious sandwiches. Try "The Dennis" - they will at first deny its existence but eventually give in and serve up a beautiful blend of chicken, prosciutto, and mozzarella.
Oracle Arena
In July, 2010, Warriors owner Chris Cohan agreed to sell the franchise for a record $450 million.

Sun Life Stadium
On the facade of the upper deck, the Dolphins Honor Roll lists the names of Dolphin legends including Joe Robbie, Don Shula, and the 1972 undefeated team that won Super Bowl VII.
Northside Pharmacy
This homey Williamsburg pharmacy offers intimacy and personalization. Unlike the staff at CVS, these pharmacists will actually remember your name.

Though this busy restaurant doesn't take reservations, Ed's cleans and shucks everything right in front of the customers, and offers a $1.50 oyster happy hour.
Shaffer City Oyster Bar
With a huge selection, this old city favorite is one of the top ten best oyster bars in the area.

Mast Brothers Chocolate Factory
With cocoa beans from family farms in Madagascar, Venezuela and the Dominican Republic, the Mast bros create delicious, homemade chocolate by following their beans every step of the way.
