BRUNCH:

If you need breakfast/brunch on Saturday morning - each of the hotels have delicious restaurants (Temple Court, Augustine, Felice, and Atrio) and room service. If you’re feeling more adventurous, we recommend you try one of the following:

Hudson Eats       7am-9pm

Food court in Brookfield Place with AMAZING views out over the Hudson River including views of the Statue of Liberty!

There are many delicious options here with something for everyone - if you’re craving a NYC bagel check out Black Seed Bagel

Le District                        10AM-Midnight

Downstairs from Hudson Eats at Brookfield Place. The inside is a spectacular French food court and hidden outside is Beaubourg where in nice weather where you can sit outside, overlooking the Hudson River and Statue of Liberty and enjoy a quick bite or leisurely drink.

COFFEE:

You know you didn’t come to NYC to drink Starbucks… Blue Bottle (if you’re heading to the 9/11 memorial),  Jack’s Stir Brew (if you’re in the Seaport), Bluestone Lane (if you want to see the outside of the New York Stock Exchange), Joe’s Coffee (if you’re headed into the Oculus Building)

ICE CREAM – is in season in NYC!

Van Leeuwen - 224 Front Street (in the Seaport) - Mrs. Schlosser’s favorite ice cream in NYC!

Grom- if you don’t make it to the Seaport for ice cream, this is a close runner up in the Oculus building.

DINNER:

If you’re in town early or staying a few extra days we would recommend the following for a special treat in lower Manhattan.

Check out Crown Shy – At 70 Pine St. a polished new American restaurant in Landmark Art Deco Tower, enter through the ornate building lobby. Other options include L’Appart (Michelin star dining at the Chef’s apartment, a hidden gem in Le District) and Manhatta (go here for the views - it’s on the 60th floor overlooking the Hudson River). Reservations advised!
