Check out the Heather Garden! LOTS of scenic views if you walk toward, then along, the river. The Met Cloisters museum is located in the middle of the park!

Cute park just up the steps at the end of the block (Pinehurst continues up there)! You’ll be transported to another era just walking down these few blocks alongside the park. Nothing crazy going on—it’s just pretty. 😆

On the pricier end of dining in the area. Great food, drink, ambiance. Definitely a treat-yourself spot. A little more upscale and intimate.

Go-to deli. Cheap, fast, delicious. They’ve got all types of hot and cold sandwiches/burgers. Note: no pork products here. Try this for literally any meal, any time of day. It’s open 24hrs. Recommend the chopped cheese sandwich with (beef) bacon and grilled onions!
