Visit Central Park
Yes, ok this will be on everyone’s list for a trip to New York, but it kind of has to be. Central park is the heart of New York city and is one of the most incredible city parks in the whole world. Because Central Park is so large, it’s somewhat impossible to see it all on one visit. We suggest grabbing a bicycle and pedalling your way through the lush grounds.
Head to Film Forum
New York is known for being hot on the pulse of international art’s trends, in particular fashion and film. Do as the New Yorkers do and head to Film Forum to watch a wide variety of films you might normally only read about. From Indie films, documentaries and films that have screened in international film festivals. If you are a film buff, then this is the perfect place for you to spend a few hours – or days on your next trip to New York.

Indulge in Mixology
Head to Little Branch and enjoy some fine cocktails, skilfully prepared by well-dressed mixologists who take their work seriously. The dimly lit cocktail bar offers an extensive range of delicious drinks, including old classics and modern twists. Sunday through to Thursday, Little Branch offers live Jazz which is the perfect compliment to the delicious drinks on offer.
Get Cultured at P.S.1
While there are numerous galleries in New York that each deserve a visit, P.S.1 is one of the most forward thinking and moving galleries. Perched opposite MoMA, P.S.1 is home to numerous challenging displays and exhibitions, many of which will leave you speechless, in a good way. During summer P.S.1 is also home to free nightlife parties on Saturdays, which are worth a visit if you fancy a good night out.
