That's right - get Medieval at the Cloisters. It's closer than you think. Imagine, a $2.75 subway fare can take you back 500 years. It's cool af and a great day spent in NYC.

"It's not far, not far to reach, you can hitch a ride to Rockaway Beach!" Better yet, take a ferry for $2.75 from Pier 11 on Wall St. and you will arrive 50 minutes later at the Atlantic Ocean, and Rockaway Beach! AsK me about details, but we LOVE going to NYC's beaches, and this is the BEST!

Oh man, it's Coney Island! Jump on the subway at Columbus Circle (just on the corner here) and in 45 minute you will BE IN CONEY ISLAND! Don't be a tourist, go to Coney and hang with real New Yorkers. You'll thank me later!

Very SOLID and amusing sushi restaurant -- a little spendy, but not too bad. Inside of the 6 Hotel -- literally around the corned on 58th. Can be tricky to find, but a room worth losing oneself in. Keep your eyes open -- this place is sick with local (celebrities). CNN across the street.

The Last Bohemian Bar in New York. (It's also the sponsor of my soccer team!) Just far enough off the beaten path that celebs drop by to drop out. Get on the A train, get off at W.4th St. station and walk. It's been an operating public house since 1817. No joke. (and great food!)
