Natalie’s 5-star review: I have two words for you. Salty. Pimp. No, wait. Four words. Bea. Arthur. Just go. They do wonders with soft serve. You won't find anything else like it anywhere else. -
Natalie’s 5-star review: I can't really think of a better summer day than sitting on Rockaway beach with a good book. Unless you add lunch from Rockaway Taco to it. Really fantastic tacos. I got the tofu, and added guacamole. Two tacos were very filling. They also have watermelon and pineapple mint juice. Best lunch option by far. -
Natalie’s 4-star review: Let's be clear. These are the best drinks I've had in New York. I took a star off because it's crowded and not close enough for me to justify coming regularly. The vibe is very hipster-classy (if that's a thing). You're going to be elbow to elbow with people. The drinks: I'd recommend very highly the Baby Blush or the Water Cooler. Both are refreshing, and get the job done. I didn't try any food, but they do have a pretty extensive menu. Probably not for the veggies, but if you like meat and cheese, come hungry. -
Natalie’s 5-star review: This place is the best. Grecian burger is my favorite. Really quick service, though it gets really cramped in there. Huge menu, and open 24 hours. -
Natalie’s 5-star review: Museums in New York are fantastic as a rule, and this one is no exception. I'm especially a fan of the suggested donation aka pay what you can varieties. I've done some special exhibits, which are great, but cost more, so pick and choose with those. Mostly I think this museum is great for the amazing resident exhibits. With suggested donation, you don't have to feel pressured to kill yourself, you can just meander and leave when you're tired. Definitely see the Squid and The Whale, so scary. -
Natalie’s 4-star review: I've been to both locations, and prefer flatiron, just because it's in a park. This is a very spacious and clean restaurant. I've only had ice cream and shakes here, but I can report both are very good. I'm a fan of the custards. As for sweet corn flavored custard, I'm a little afraid. I'll stick to the fruity and chocolatey varieties for now... -
Natalie’s 5-star review: Perfect for a day when you want a getaway, but want to use the MTA to take it. Much less crowded than Coney Island, and a whole lot cleaner. -
Natalie’s 5-star review: The only negative thing I have to say is the wait was hellish. However, that speaks pretty highly of the quality of the food. By far the best Thai food in the city. I had the egg rolls and the pad thai, which were both excellent. My husband had the chili fried rice and said it was the first time he had a dish that was spicy enough for him. We'll be back. -
Natalie’s 5-star review: This is, by far, the best cheesecake I've ever had. However, you should skip the other food. Cheesecake, awesome, other food, meh. -
Natalie’s 5-star review: I'm going to go ahead and say it. This is my favorite milkshake. There are many good milkshakes, and being a fan of dairy, I fought this bold statement for a while. But, I'm proclaiming it. Black and white milkshake, you win. I drink your milkshake, I drink it up. -
Natalie’s 4-star review: This is my favorite diner. It's conveniently located right under the NW at Astoria Blvd. and also right off the M60. (Much better than Laguardia's food, btw) Breakfast and lunch food are best. Stellar standouts are the french toast, souvlaki, gyro and moussaka. Also their flavored sodas are terrific. So-so items are the reuben and banana cream pie. For some unknown reason, all the waiters are men, which puzzles me. -
Natalie’s 5-star review: When I walk into Strand, I feel like Belle in "Beauty and the Beast" when the Beast presents her with her own personal library. Then I realize a million other people have been invited to my party so it loses a little luster. Great prices on hard to find books, or easy to find books, whatever you like to read. Just be prepared to receive some dirty looks if you try to get Twilight or something. This is a book snob's store. And I am a book snob. Heaven. -
Natalie’s 4-star review: My only mistake was coming here on a Friday night. It was so packed I literally couldn't move. I tried the light and dark beer and had to bolt, I was feeling claustrophobic. However, I loved both the beers and thought the bar looked amazing. I'm going to try to come back on a Monday or earlier in the evening because I hear the cheese plate is divine. -
Natalie’s 5-star review: Here is a perfect day: Pick a day with great weather, pack a lunch and eat in Fort Tryon Park, then look around at the Cloisters and ponder how something this medieval and enchanted is in Manhattan. -
Natalie’s 4-star review: This is the best place to drink in warm weather. Great beers, lots of tables, sausages and hamburgers. What more could you want? -
Natalie’s 4-star review: When I first saw the menu, I balked at the prices. However, the phrase "you get what you pay for" is very applicable here. The meat is of extremely high quality, and the combination of toppings on the original bareburger ( I got it with the brioche bun) worked very nicely together. My husband got the jalepeno burger, which was good with just a little kick. The fries are nothing to write home about, decent but not excellent. I tried an organic root beer, which was surprisingly good. (Normally I don't like organic soda) I'm sure I'll be back. -
Natalie’s 4-star review: One of the best pizzas in the city. Good toppings, great sauce. No slices, no free refills, long wait. But I think the wait is a testament to the greatness. -
Natalie’s 4-star review: Stop here for dessert, eat dinner somewhere else. That being said, the dessert is phenomenal. Hot chocolate, milkshakes, or concoctions like chocolate soup or a s'mores parfait. Delectable. Also, the chocolate shop has some goodies to take home. Cavity inducing. -
Natalie’s 5-star review: Ever have one of those days where you feel like you're trapped in a cement box? Just take a few hours and get lost in Central Park. Maybe it's the grass, maybe it's the fact that you can lose yourself, but whatever it is, it will cure the big city blues. Every time. -
Natalie’s 5-star review: This latte was so good that I was sad when it was gone. The space is beautiful with an interesting design concept and the staff was friendly and personable. I really can't think of anything negative to say. Note: cash only. -
Natalie’s 4-star review: I mean, if you like doughnuts, this is your mecca. I ordered a creme brulee and was a little miffed at first because it is TINY compared to the others. However, the decadence in this little package packed more than a punch. They were out of the chai tea when I went, which I'm told is awesome, so I settled for a blueberry lemonade which was a refreshing substitute. I took a star away because there's no where to sit, though if it's a nice day, there's plenty of outdoor spaces. -
Natalie’s 5-star review: If you are a cinephile, this is your museum destination. Three floors, floor one is screenings of both retrospectives and rare films. Floor two is mainly actor/writer focused, and floor three is mainly production. The exhibits are well lit and spaced, with plenty of interactive exhibits. Really something for everyone. -
Natalie’s 5-star review: Spa Castle is like Disneyworld for adults. Let me be clear, you can pay the 35 dollar admission fee and just do the things that entails and have a fantastic day. I opted to add on a massage and a mani/pedi. Don't do the mani/pedi. It's overpriced and they want to get as many people in as possible, so it's rushed. Do the massage. I got the aroma therapy massage and it was amazing. I felt like a new woman afterwards. The food is decent, I got sushi and a bubble tea. Both of which were pretty average, but fairly priced. Upstairs looked awesome with all the korean fare, but I forewent that, as my watch was tabulating quite the bill. The pools are amazing, and the saunas as well. The salt sauna was my favorite, and I swear my skin looks clearer today. Some tips: Bring a water bottle and towel and don't forget your swimsuit. To sum it up, if you want to get away from it all, spa castle is your destination. -
Natalie’s 5-star review: I love this place. It really does feel like you stepped into "Alice and Wonderland". (Including the sign in the bathroom that says "employees must wash their hands, or it's off with their heads!") The tea is unbelievable (get Alice's tea blend) and you get a whole pot of it. I had the chocolate mousse, which came in a tea cup and was delicious, albeit rich. They have a fully stocked bakery up front, or you can order off the menu. You could really make an event of it, and do the Mad Hatter's tea, or just get a pot of tea and a snack. The service is friendly and relaxed, and you don't feel like they're trying to push you out. -
Natalie’s 4-star review: For those with a sweet tooth, this place is pretty heavenly. ( I love the enormous selection of Jelly Belly jelly beans) They have a lot of unique candies, and of course, everything you can find in a drug store. The upper level has ice cream sundaes and milk shakes. Just be prepared to be crammed in amongst tourists, this place is like a bug light to them. -
Natalie’s 4-star review: The peanut butters are fantastic. The sandwiches are good, the milkshakes are ok. Do yourself a favor and get anything with the white chocolate peanut butter on it. I'm pretty sure that's what heaven tastes like. -
Natalie’s 5-star review: This is a really unique museum experience, as you can only go by tour. I chose the Sweatshop tour, which was an hour in two apartments. The tour guide was extremely knowledgable and was able to tailor her talk to the individual requirements of the tour. When you go: I went on a weekday, and it was not crowded at all. I made my reservation the night before online, but I really didn't need to, I could have bought it at the door. Your tour will be shaped by the people in it as much as the tour guide themselves. My group was just me and one other person, which was nice because I really got a great view of everything in the apartments and was able to ask questions, but annoying because he was obnoxious. Be sure to stop by the gift shop again after your tour, they have an excellent selection of books and gifts. -
Natalie’s 4-star review: Perhaps the best NYC park as far as nearby lunch options go. If you're longing for a tasty lunch in nature, this is where I'd recommend. And, the always entertaining dog park makes for some excellent conversation. -
Natalie’s 5-star review: The library is a must see if you like books, or history, or just like being in awesome buildings. There are also free exhibits in the museum. I visited the Lunch Hour NYC which was a really fun exhibit on the history of lunch. Also, make sure to visit the original Winnie The Pooh and his friends. You can also do tours if that's your bag.

Natalie’s 4-star review: The Guggenheim is one of the pricier museums here, so I save it for an exhibit I really want to see. Picasso's black and white did not disappoint. That said, the Frank Lloyd Wright designed building is an exhibit in and of itself, so if you haven't been, it's definitely worth checking out.
