Places to visit for a weekend in New York
Visiting the great Midtown in New York is something you cannot miss.
Midtown is going through a great moment. Rockefeller Center is tempting popular restaurants with hot real estate deals, trying to target the tastes of locals and tourists.
One of the glam new corners is Le Rock, a French brasserie with a clean art deco design and a full menu of chilled oysters, bison au poivre and a great list of natural wines.
Another great option is to walk among the hundreds of galleries on the west side of Manhattan in the Chelsea neighborhood, instead of just going to an art museum, it is a great way to delve into a large sample of artists and be immersed in their works.
Starting out at Nicola Vassell Gallery is one of the most beautiful things to do in this great city, as it is a new and exciting gallery committed to showcasing diverse perspectives. From there, head up 10th Avenue to the Jack Shainman Gallery at 24 West Street where artists like Gordon Parks and Carrie Mae Weems have shown their work.
Finish your way at Greene Naftali, a one-room arcade tucked away under the High Line (the entrance might be mistaken for a parking lot.
For first-time Village eaters, however, Bar Pitti always offers an entertaining night out. You can go around 6 pm (with cash since payment with cards is not accepted). One of their star dishes is the aubergine parmigiana, if it’s on the specials menu, pappardelle in pink cream sauce and a bottle of Lambrusco.
Closing out the night is a hot new Midtown bar Pebble, known for its celebrity and investor clientele. Find strong drinks, dim lighting and comfortable booths, and the highest number of chic items in the neighborhood. Grab a handful of the fanciest matches when you go out.
For the Midtown of yesteryear there is Jimmy’s Corner, a bar opened in 1971 by former boxer and trainer Jimmy Glenn, who died of complications from COVID-19 in 2020. Now, run by his son Adam, it recalls a perfect spot for a beer and a shot for both tourists (it’s right next to Times Square) and long time regulars.
When it comes to breakfast, a true breakfast of champions is a pastrami, egg and cheese sandwich at Frankel’s Delicatessen & Appetizing in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. There is possibly no better representation of New York deli cuisine than the happy pairing between the staple Jewish meat, and the cellar hero and menu of coffee, bacon, egg and cheese.
From Greenpoint, the northernmost neighborhood in Brooklyn, the views of the East River are unbeatable. Follow Noble Street straight to the end, and you’ll find the Greenpoint Terminal Market, a vendor’s market, every Saturday and Sunday, rain or shine.
You’ll have the highest view of the Manhattan skyline as you sneak past racks of vintage clothing, art and jewelry tables, and maybe even get a handcrafted portrait to commemorate your day.
If you want to shop, try Big Night, “a store for dining, parties and dinner parties”; Dobbin St. Vintage Co-op for antique furniture, and the Japanese Mini Market at 50 Norman, for Cibone housewares and custom dashi packages from Dashi Okume.
Tucked away from the chain of Williamsburg boutique coffee shops and gyms is City Reliquary, a small, colorful storefront, wedged between buildings on Metropolitan Avenue.
Inside is the quirky and fascinating collection of New York memorabilia, curated by this community museum and nonprofit civic organization. Crammed into two small rooms, you’ll find defunct subway signage, New York World’s Fair memorabilia, rock samples from far out in the city, and a staggering amount of other artifacts.
Check out the various iterations of paper cups, including the iconic Anthora cup (designed by Leslie Buck in the 1960s), which can still be seen in salons and wineries today.
Marie’s Crisis Café is a West Village space that had several lives: it was a boarding house, then a brothel, then it went underground in 1929 (it may also have been haunted by the ghost of political theorist Thomas Paine, who died in the site in 1809).
Let the guests fall in love singing together the lyrics of the piano show until 4 in the morning. The staff is mostly professional entertainers, and a night at the venue feels like a cheat code to see Broadway-level talent for the price of a couple of beers.
