Danny and Becca's recommendations for things to do during your weekend in the big apple. It's mostly food and a few things to do. (We didn't include any museums or plays but you could do that, too).

The Fly

Chicken restaurant · Bedford-Stuyvesant

Do you like chicken? Great, you'll love this restaurant that only serves really good rotisserie chicken.

Thai Diner

Thai restaurant · Nolita

Everything here is good. Every single time we're in Manhattan, Becca suggests we eat here.

The Long Island Bar

Cocktail bar · Cobble Hill

Good cocktails, good burgers, good energy (though really more of a winter place).

Speedy Romeo

Pizza restaurant · Clinton Hill

Good brick-oven pizza, site of our second date, we ordered the St. Louie.

The Odeon

Modern French restaurant · Tribeca

Go for the scene, not the food.

Miss Ada

Mediterranean restaurant · Fort Greene

Good Mediterranean food. Every time we're going out to eat in Brooklyn, Becca suggests this.

Han Dynasty

Sichuan restaurant · East Village

Good Szechuan food. This is our go-to Chinese order.

Her Name is Han

Korean restaurant · Midtown East

Our Korean friend told us this is Korean food for white people, which I guess is accurate because we like it.

Defonte's Sandwich Shop

Sandwich shop · Red Hook

Best sandwiches that are very large.

Court Street Grocers

Sandwich shop · Carroll Gardens

Best sandwiches that are normal sized.

Tasty Dumpling

Chinese restaurant · Chinatown

Really good dumplings.

Joe's Pizza

Pizza restaurant · West Village

Best slice in New York. Is that basic? Who cares.

Joe's Pizza

Pizza restaurant · Williamsburg

Danny's favorite slice but closer to the venue.

Paulie Gee's Slice Shop

Pizza restaurant · Greenpoint

A great slice close to the venue. (We love pizza, sue us).

Scarr's Pizza

Pizza restaurant · Chinatown

Another good place for a slice (there's usually a line).

Lucali

Pizza restaurant · Carroll Gardens

Becca says this is on a list of Jay Z and Beyonce's date night spots from 2010.

Old John's Luncheonette

Diner · Upper West Side

If you find yourself on the UWS craving classic diner food, go here.

Bar Blondeau

Bar · Williamsburg

If you want a drink with a view close to the venue.

Doris

Bar · Bedford-Stuyvesant

Fun bar with a backyard with a ping pong table where Becca has never beaten Danny.

Five Leaves

New American restaurant · Greenpoint

We haven't been here since 2016 but assume it's still good.

Lilia

Italian restaurant · Williamsburg

We've never been because it's impossible to get a reservation but, if you can get one, go for it.

Semma

South Indian restaurant · West Village

We haven't been but hear good things.

Achilles Heel

Bar · Greenpoint

We've never actually eaten here, but a lot of people have recommended it and it's close-ish to the venue.

Anella

Permanently Closed

Good neighborhoody spot close to the venue.

Karczma

Polish restaurant · Greenpoint

Greenpoint --> Polish --> Pierogies

Chez Ma Tante

Bistro · Greenpoint

We've never actually been here but it's close to the venue and has famous pancakes that are probably good.

Littleneck Outpost

Temporarily Closed

Good coffee shop nearish the venue.

Prospect Butcher Co.

Butcher shop · Prospect Heights

Good place to grab a sandwich for a Prospect Park hang.

Prospect Park

Park · Prospect Park

Hang out, walk around, go for a run, bike around on a CitiBike. It's a better park than Central Park no matter what Becca's dad says.

WNYC Transmitter Park

Park · Greenpoint

Good park with nice views near the venue.

Metrograph

Movie theater · Chinatown

See a pretentious indie movie here and then talk to Danny about it at the wedding.

AMC Lincoln Square 13

Movie theater · Upper West Side

See Top Gun or that new Jurassic Park movie in IMAX and then talk to Danny about it at the wedding.

Nitehawk Prospect Park

Movie theater · South Slope

See a movie here while you eat dinner and then tell Danny about it at the wedding. (There's also a Williamsburg location).

Nitehawk Cinema

Movie theater · Williamsburg

Williamsburg location (smaller and not as good as Prospect Park location but closer to our venue).

Front General Store

Vintage clothing store · DUMBO

Good place to go vintage shopping.
