This is what happens when a happy cyclist's commute turns to drama.
Geeeez, what an emotional cycle into work this morning. Filming a little good morning video for Antonio, us cyclists get reminded of the importance of wearing a helmet.
Cyclist has a broken elbow and cheek. Her bag got stuck in the wheel sending her over the handlebar. Had she not been wearing a helmet Doctors said she would have probably been in a Coma.
It is no surprise NYC is known as “The City that never sleeps.” As if all the bars and restaurants and clubs and theatres that surround the city’s avenues and streets were not enough, a wonderful life of music, magic, Saki bars and entertainment exists on a parallel, underground.
Having spent some time in this brilliant city here are some of my suggestions….
Apart from the obvious touristy attractions, here are my simply MUST DO’s:
** CYCLE down/up the Westside Highway (You can hire a bike just off St Chritopher’s street)
So, to go alongside these tips here are some options:
.daytime.
Walk along the "high line" elevated park if its a nice day, you can even pop to magnolia on the way and then along the river Hudson for a cycle- all pleasures in a nutshell.
Visit the MOMA / Central Park / Lincon Centre (Romeo and Juliet is currently on)
.food & drinkies.
MEAT PACKING
Start your evening at Spice market, there is nothing like their ginger margeritas!
Perhaps a drink at the roof top of one of the following:
Gansevoort hotel or SOHO house
Pastis - www.pastisny.com - great option for both brunch or dinner
Boqueria: www.boquerianyc.com - Lovely tapas and wine! Great place to pop in on rainy afternoons for a drink and catch up
EAST VILLAGE
Decibal Saki bar - www.sakebardecibel.com - 240E, 9th Street – Btw 2nd/3rd street - order wasabi dumplings and try many of the sakis available on the menu!
Schiller’s Liquor Bar: www.schillersny.com American brasserie. Good food, great cocktails, fun/hip vibe, cool people. Crowded and noisy.
Inoteca: (Rivington & Stanton) www.inotecanyc.com Great wine list, yummy Italian small plates. No reservations and usually a long wait, but it’s worth it and you can drink wine while you’re waiting. Small and crowded, but in summer they open the doors out to the sidewalk.
TRIBECA
Next Door Nobu: Cheaper than Nobu – don’t take reservations, great deal, good scene
