You'll enjoy the historical as much as the the interactive portion of your visit, like playing old video games and making your own stop-motion animation. They also screen movies & TV shows, and hold Q&As with famous filmmakers. And, best of all, the museum is home to the permanent exhibition for Jim Henson's The Muppets.

Boasting a Japanese hill-and-pond garden, a native flora garden, and an herb garden to boot, it is easy to spend hours meandering through the hidden paths and secret gardens of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. And altough it is beautiful year-round, the most hypnotic time to visit is during Cherry Blossom season in the spring.

Summer warm up at PS1, every Saturday during the summer months in an open outdoor space, drinks and food, relaxed easy vibe, and art that doesn't require in depth reflection, just a nice way to spend your Saturday. Awesome bookstore, with books ranging from music, art, to philosophy. Great drink selection and restaurant, on the pricey side.

You won't find another spot in or around NYC with a better view. The fact that it's on a cliff over the Hudson River gives it a unique and perfect point of view. The best time to come is on a M-Thurs between 9am and 2pm. There will be very few people in the park.

Sleep No More needs no introduction but The Lodge at Gallow Green might. It's their rooftop restaurant during the winter that transports you to a wood cabin and makes you feel like it's snowing outside even if it isn't. Visiting during the summer, Gallow Green is still available and the view is fantastic.
