If you want to try something different on your next visit to New York, may I suggest the High Line Elevated Park? My sister, our friend and I were told by our New Yorker friend that it was a must-see at sunset, so we tried to make it and just missed the magic hour. It was still worth it, though!
It's a rambling walk through the City, along a raised pedestrian bridge, which winds through the city's buildings and along piers on the southwest end of Manhattan. After a nice walk through native plant gardens and under colorful neon-lit tunnels, you can stop into Park for a libation and some calamari or rosemary fries. (They had many yummy-looking options, so take your pick!) They have a dinner menu, but we were meeting up with our friend for dinner later, so I can't recommend anything specifically. Everything we ate was delicious, though, and the setting was amazing! In the garden area, there are many trees and plants, and canopy above is festooned with lights. Service was excellent, and the fresh focaccia they serve with a side of olive oil is delish!
