This is an amazing coffee shop and grocery /deli store. All the food carried in the store looks amazing and good enough to eat there and then.

Enjoy.
Dylan's Candy Bar

The most impressive candy store known to man. Owned by Dylan Lauren, Ralph Lauren's daughter, Dylan has done for candy what her father has done to the polo shirt. This two-story midtown funhouse has every kind of candy known to man. Adults and children alike are guarenteed to leave happy.
East Village Bed & Coffee

Forget the tourist traps in Times Square, EVB&C is the real thing. Hip decor, hip bars on your doorstep and cool eats a stone's throw away and a hostess with the mostess. Each room is themed and guests are encouraged to mingle and mix in this cool Bed & Coffee. A hidden gem - affordable too.

Get a taste of the real Manhattan in this wonderfully unusual B&B in the East Village. Behind that nondescript red door this place has it all: a wonderful hostess, stunning artwork, rooms with character and a chance to meet folks from all over Manhattan and the world who opt for this hidden gem. Oh, and a GREAT little hang out next door too in the fabulously name Lava Gina!

Ellen Stardust Diner

Fantastic diner on Broadway. The staff are in 50's costumes and sing show songs in between serving delicious food. Definitely have the Oreo milkshake!
Ellis Island

www.ellisisland.com:

Ellis Island is a symbol of America’s immigrant heritage. From 1892 to 1954, this immigrant depot processed the greatest tide of incoming humanity in the nation’s history. Nearly twelve million landed here in their search of freedom of speech and religion, and for economic opportunity.

I found my great grandfather's passenger details on ellis island ship manifestos etc, so now that I am leaving for NYC tomorrow, I will definitely visit this highlight! It is a great place to visit if your are into history.
