When dining in NYC you want to get you food off the beaten path. Go below 34th street out of the tourist district and you will find regular priced food and services.

How It Works

New York City Suggestions

AMC Loews 34th Street 14

Multiplex

312 W 34th St - The IMAX here is just one of those big screens branded IMAX. It's not a real IMAX! Don't be fooled! (Lincoln Center is the best alternative.)

Apple Store

Electronics Store

45 Grand Central Terminal - While this store is not open 24/7 like their 5th Ave location, it does have a convenient location with beautiful views of Grand Central (don't miss the set-up area and iAccessories in the side rooms)!

Barnes & Noble

Bookstore

33 E 17th St. - Biggest and best Barnes & Noble in the city.

Birreria at Eataly

Beer Garden

200 5th Ave. - No question, it's the best barbecue in the city. But the best part is the casual and playful atmosphere It’s tough not to meet new people and to break $50 for dinner for two.

Brooklyn Brewery

Brewery

79 N 11th St - The 1st NYC company to use 100% wind-generated electricity; Brooklyn Brewery warehouse has solar panels that provide 1/3 of total power needs and recycles all of its bottles & spent grain

Bryant Park

Park

btwn 40th & 42nd St. - Try estimating the percentage of women here. On a recent weekday, it was 53%, according to the park's engineer, who considers that a success. "Women are more discriminating park users," he says.

Cafe Habana

Cuban Restaurant

17 Prince St - The takeout/delivery menu is different than the dine-in menu. Take out is limited, but the Steak Torta is delicious and delivery super-speedy. The Mexican corn can be considered a tourist attraction.

Century 21

Clothing Store

22 Cortlandt St. - A cross between Daffy's and an Ultimate Fighting tournament, this gigantic discount department store rewards aggressive shoppers with designer bargains.

Chelsea Market

Food Court

75 9th Ave. - Foodies, drinkies, fashionistas and design hounds can be found here. It’s why we love it!

Citi Pond at Bryant Park

Skating Rink
