Time for a guide to New York City. Hope you'll enjoy! Please click links for addresses and opening hours etc.
When I'm in New York I prefer to walk and good shoes are recommended even if you're not planning to walk a lot, because you end up walking a lot anyway :)
Tribeca Grand
The last time in NYC I stayed at this hotel. It's very good and the location is great. I was lucky to stay there for free thanks to my husband's job but if you want to spend money on a good hotel I recommend this. Otherwise I'm sure there are plenty of great places to find via
Airbnb. Johan really recommends the
Soho Grand, I've only tried the bar there and it's highly recommended!

Balthazar
A legend. Really recommend making a reservation at this place.
Freemans
Great cocktails, interior and food. Highly recommended.
The High Line
Don't forget a walk along the High Line.
Magnolia Bakery
Sorry for the shabby shoe picture, but at least you see how beautiful the floor is in this New York City institution for cupcakes etc ;)
La Colombe
Amazing coffee and the best almond croissants I've ever had. They have three places on Manhattan, I visited the one on Church Street as it was next to my hotel. My favourite coffee place in NYC for sure, not only because of the great coffee but because of those beautiful cups and saucers.
Lucky Strike
A favourite bar with great cocktails and good looking interior.
Sockerbit
Swedish (and Finnish) candy, pick and mix. Yum!
Schiller's
My favourite restaurant on Manhattan. The interior is perfection. Don't forget to visit the bathroom. Cocktails are good, they have nice beer and a brunch here is highly recommended.
Tiny's Giant Sandwich Shop
Across the street from Schiller's you find this sandwich and coffee shop. A good place for breakfast.

Brooklyn Brewery
I didn't take the tour of the brewery (Johan did and he loved it), but I tried all their different wonderful beers - there are a few they only serve at the brewery and if you are a beer lover - go there!
Black Brick Coffee
A nice coffee place on Bedford Avenue.
Blue Bottle Coffee
More coffee, highly recommended!
Diner
This place is a must when I'm visiting in Brooklyn. Great breakfast, great cocktails and nice atmosphere.
Marlow and Sons
Around the corner from Diner you find this place. This is where I go for oysters and beer and they have a pretty shop as well where you can buy
Mast Brothers Chocolate among other great things.
Café Pedlar
A beautiful coffee shop with really good coffee.
Other places I recommend, without pictures though:
MANHATTAN
King Cole Bar (great cocktails and very fancy)
Purl (yarn etc!)
BROOKLYN
Juliette (good food, good drinks, beautiful place)
Roebling Tea Room (beautiful place, nice atmosphere)
CB I Hate Perfume (an experience of its own)
Brooklyn Flea Market
Dumont Burger (recommended by Johan, he says the burgers are great)
Don't forget to walk the Brooklyn Bridge, from Brooklyn to Manhattan. It's always recommended, no matter what season or time of the day. Aaah.
Enjoy your visit in NYC!
