2. Williamsburg in Brooklyn: Welcome to the icon of Hipster culture. Walk around and explore the neighborhoods of Williamsburg, full of unique stores, bars, cute restaurants and local artists selling their art work on the streets. On Sundays there is a food market with tastes from all around the world, just by the water where the view of manhattan is simply amazing!

3. High line and Chelsea Market: Welcome to an oasis full of flowers and plants built on a historic rail line elevated above the streets of Manhattan. The architecture is very interesting and the walk totally worth it. Under the high line you will find Chelsea Market where you can enjoy tasty tapas.

4. Strawberry fields In Central Park: For the Beatles fans, there is always someone singing and playing the guitar near John Lennon’s memorial. Of course you can then venture out and see the vast Central Park.
