Categories: Local Flavor, Landmarks & Historical Buildings

Amazing!

I walked across the Brooklyn Bridge a few weeks ago and it is just an insane view of lower Manhattan and the Manhattan Bridge. The walk is long so be prepared, but it is worth the trek. I went on a particularly busy day as it was the birthday…More »

Yes...I love you Central Park...but I am not in love with you.

Yes you are fine looking...so green and lush...so much to do and so much to see...I find myself often thinking about you at work or school.

The way you smell on a lovely summer day or how…More »

6/14/2008 First to Review

I was born and raised in Rockaway Beach, New York.

Now while Rockaway has seen better days, it is now making a comeback since the late 90s and continues to grow with new communities (Arverne by the Sea), new stores like the 116 st diner, and old…More »

Each borough has a botanic garden and I have been to them all. This one is my favorite by far. It is so nice that you forget you are in Brooklyn. Definitely go check it out. So many beautiful flowers,plants,trees and a greenhouse with a cafe nearby.

The Cyclone roller coaster is NOT going anywhere when they demolish and rebuild Coney Island. As part of the agreement with developers they agreed to keep the coaster up and running.

This coaster is the only one that gives me white knuckles when its…More »

Time Square has been called the Crossroads of the World...more like the Tourist Trap of the World.… Read more »

Recently updated lists from Andy H.

Top Restaurants (11) Some of my favorite dining destinations in the city.	Pizza places that I enjoy, and so should you. (14) They say that pizza is like sex...I disagree...pizza is cheaper to obtain. On to my list:
My Neighborhood (7) My local dry cleaner, watering hole, deli, cafe, etc.	Sweet treats around NY (9) Everyone likes a sweet treat, but if your idea of dessert is dunkin donuts or krispie kreme, then read this list, take notes and then waddle over to one of them. These places make some of the most amazing pastries in the NY area.
Born to Shop (5) It's not easy looking this good!	Top NY Diners list (5) Whether it is a gyro at 3am or breakfast at 6pm...a NY diner is greatness in a tacky setting. So check out a few of the local diners in the NY area:
Best Ballrooms (4) I don't think Yelp has a best of ballrooms list...so here ya go:	Oh Yelp Canada! (32) This is a list of places to see,stay at and eat in, when you visit Toronto and Montreal!
4 Bagels you need to taste (4) I love a boiled and baked treat just like the next guy. But New York definitely owns when it comes to making a mean bagel. I have had bagels in all 5 boroughs and Long Island. But these four places are still my favorites. One of them even delivers overnight to anywhere in the U.S., nice! Don't be afraid to leave the Island of Manhattan. Check out Brooklyn, Broad Channel and The Rockaways for some goodness with sesame, poppy or everything on it.
