If you've never tried Dominican food, this is the place to start. Their specialty is Mofongo. But beware, it's popularity means you need to fight to get a table. Be willing to wait if you want to try this food. However, the portions easily allow you to share- they're massive! It has a great vibe inside, almost like an aquarium and the customer service is excellent

Katz's is a globally known name. If you're willing to try the famous pastrami (that's all you should go for)- be sure you have cash. This place is no frills- just expensive ($20) deli sandwiches. Good thing is, they're shareable (easily) and near a good night scene.

I'm biased towards Bryant Park because I work a block away. It's absolutely lovely. In the winter, they have the Winter Market and Ice Skating rink. In the Summer, they have great shows and performances, plus movie screenings ALL for FREE! Be sure to look up their schedule on their website- they have something (yoga, piano, dance) literally every single day. Plus it's surrounded by magnificent views of the skyscrapers of midtown and great places to eat.

Take the Metro north train from 125th Harlem station or Grand Central. Takes about an hour- but you will have the best hike yet! I go up here a couple of times a month. I absolutely love it- perfect for the day you want to really sweat it out and be one with nature.
