Parks & Nature
This is my favorite spot in the park. It is a straight shot from the apartment and has beautiful views of the midtown skyline. This is also where you will see Central Park's famous castle and the outdoor theatre. Afternoons in the summer are perfect for laying out in the sun for a picnic or playing some pickup softball.

Food Scene
This is my favorite restaurant on the Upper East Side. Very good guacamole and great service without being too expensive. They have a fun tequila selection too.
