My spouse and I visited New York City for the weekend in
mid-October 2017 to celebrate my spouse’s birthday. We visited two museums:
MOCA (Museum of Chinese in America), and the NY Fire Department Museum (which
we have parked next to several times). We also visited the LILAC, a lighthouse
tender. We ate some great meals at Balthazar (a Manhattan institution), Lupa
Osteria (a Mario Batali restaurant), and BONDST (for a sushi tasting), and we
stopped for drinks (outdoors, because the weather was gorgeous) at Locanda
Verde and AOA Grille. The lovely weather also allowed us to stroll around Pier
25’s Hudson River Park to see the LILAC, the Grand Banks oyster bar, and the
sports fields (including skateboarding, mini-golf, sand volleyball, tennis, and
soccer). We stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn Tribeca, where we stayed once
previously. As always, a weekend in NYC is an amazing time!
