Shop NYC Top

I have lived in NYC for several years but have fallen into the “be horizontal on the couch” routine. I have lost the “let’s get up and do something!” spark but know I do better when I have ideas thought out ahead of time. 34F if it happens to help to know.

Basically I want to explore but with destination.

I live in Manhattan (UES) and am looking for mostly Manhattan spots but am open to other boroughs as well.

Can you please share your favorite places? Truly anything that brings you joy or feels special to you. I’m looking for anything from “this fruit stand has weird cool fruit” to “this painting in this museum is really cool”. Is there a tiny bookstore you found? A show you saw? A repeating event at a local place? A cooking class you loved? A favorite museum or bar or coffee? I’d love to hear any thoughts and discoveries you’re willing to share. I have varied interests and love learning and seeing new things so please don’t shy away from niche or specific.

Thank you 🙂
