Stretching over 843 acres, Central Park is the largest green space in Manhattan. Filled with tranquil gardens, amazing architecture and pretty woodlands, you could spend days exploring Central Park. Some of the best things to do include rowing a boat on Central Park Lake or renting a bike and cycling around the loops. You can also walk along the Jacqueline Onassis Reservoir, ride the charming vintage Central Park Carousel, or have a picnic in Sheep Meadow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out all the quirky sculptures like Alice in Wonderland and Hans Christian Anderson. You can also see other architectural gems like the iconic Bow Bridge, the Bethesda Terrace and Fountain, Cleopatra\u2019s Needle, and the fairytale Belvedere Castle. If you want more greenery, visit the Conservatory Garden, stretch out on the 55-acre Great Lawn, explore the Butterfly Gardens, or wander the peaceful Shakespeare Garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love a good park or garden? New York City is filled with beautiful green spaces. Some of our favourites are Greenacre Park, Washington Square Park, Domino Park, Battery Oval, and Bryant Park, where they hold the popular Summer Film Festival. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coney Island is a classic summer spot in New York City. From the nostalgic charm of the Wonder Wheel and Luna Park, to the quirky street performers and the Circus Sideshow, there\u2019s always something to see at Coney Island. Some of our favourite things to do include strolling along the boardwalk and spending a lazy afternoon at the beach. You can also check out the Coney Art Walls, ride the Cyclone rollercoaster, or get a dose of history at the Coney Island History Project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re feeling hungry, it\u2019s basically a right of passage to eat a Nathan\u2019s Famous hot dog. If you’ve got a sweet tooth, head to William’s Candy for some old-fashioned candy like fudge, marshmallows, popcorn and caramel-coated apples. Best of all, there are free fireworks every Friday during summer in Coney Island. You’ll get the best views on the boardwalk from West 10th Street to Stillwell Avenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s the sandy beaches of Long Island, the gorgeous sunsets over Roosevelt Island, and the historic sights beautiful parklands of Staten Island. We also love renting a bike and cycling around Governor\u2019s Island, strolling along the boardwalk at Long Island City in Queens, and feasting on the freshest seafood in town at City Island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manhattan is famed for its beautiful skyline and buzzing bar scene, and it gets even better when you put them together! The best rooftop bars come with elevated price tags, but it\u2019s all worth it once you look out over those iconic views and soak up the sunshine while sipping on cocktails. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the best rooftop bars in Manhattan include Elsie Rooftop, for the glamour of the Roaring \u201920s and the Fifth Rooftop Bar, the city\u2019s largest rooftop bar. There’s The Met Roof Garden Bar for incredible views over Central Park, and The Crown for sweeping views of Brooklyn and Manhattan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For green spaces, we love the secret garden at Gallow Green and the gorgeous greenery and views from Public Rooftop and Garden. We also love Ophelia, Frank Sinatra’s old favourite haunt, the enchanting themes of SERRA by Birreria, and the Cuban paradise of Azul Rooftop Bar at Hugo Hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no better way to beat the summer heat than indulging in some ice cream. Thankfully, it\u2019s not hard to find a delicious frozen treat in New York City. From street vendors to ice cream parlours, you’ll find all the gelato, soft serves and sundaes you can dream of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the best ice cream parlours<\/a> include Morgenstern\u2019s Finest Ice Cream, with more than 80 flavours to try, and Eddie\u2019s Sweet Shop, with their famous homemade ice cream. We also love Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream, which serves up both dairy and non-dairy ice cream that is just as creamy as the original, plus Davey\u2019s Ice Cream, who churn out all kinds of heavenly concoctions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For an authentic Italian gelato, you can’t go past Grom, with recipes passed down for generations. And don\u2019t forget the Lemon Ice King of Corona<\/a>, the most legendary Italian ice shop in the city. It’s been serving up icy sweet treats for more than 75 years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
