Starbucks Coffee: take a break in the City

If you are tired of walking around the city and need a break, don’t worry, there is a Starbucks in every corner. This is the perfect place to recover your breath, have a snack and some tea or coffee with nice pastries. I have to say that I dont like amercian coffe, however the US Starbucks caramel macchiato is addictive. It is a bomb of calories but I love it. Another good thing is that you can pay by credit card regardless the amount.

Oh! don't forget to use the bathroom before you continue your trip. In some stores you may need to ask for the key.

Times Square

Who does not know about Times Square? This midtown’s iconic spot is at the junction of Broadway and Seventh Avenue and stretches from West 42nd to West 47th Streets.

If you go at night you can enjoy the square at its fullest surrounded by a huge number of animated neon and LED signs that make Times Square a landmark and obligatory stop.

This square is followed by the theaters of Broadway, what is also known as the Theater District. There is a TKTS booth (in the intersection of Broadway & 7th Ave at 47th Street) that offers discounted tickets to same-day performances for Broadway, Off-Broadway, dance and music events.

Maybe you are lucky and get to see the naked cowboy!

Bryant Park

Former Reservoir Square, Bryant Park was renamed in 1884 to honour the recently deceased poet, editor and civic reformer William Cullen Bryant. The park is the seat for different cultural activities during the entire year. From the Fashion Show in the winter to the summer Film Festival, this park is a clear example of what New York can offer as a point of reference of culture, art, diversity and entertainment. See Bryant Park events calendar here>>

The park ends at the back of the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building, the main branch of the New York Public Library, built in the 90s. You can’t miss the 3rd floor of this magnificent Beaux-Arts landmark building.

Have fun and let me know!

Caracas: the Flavour of Venezuela in New York

Another hot spot to eat good food is Caracas, an authentic Venezuelan restaurant that serves homemade arepas, empanadas, salads and typical Venezuelan dishes in both Manhattan and Brooklyn (Williamsburg) .

Great food and good shakes at very reasonable prices!

El Almacén: the Pampa of New York

This cosy little restaurant in the vivid Williamsburg area serves amazing argentine food and the best sangria I have ever tried in my life. I recommend that you order a grilled churrasco. You will never forget it. You can't miss this!

Café Wha?

This emblematic bar started its activity back in the 1950s. Since then it has been the cradle for starting artists that became prodigies like Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix. Today, Café Wha is a meeting point for live music and party lovers. Its 3 house bands make everynight a party. It is kind of touristic but it is a lot of fun. Be early if you want to have a sit and eat something because it gets packed!

Cuba: The Best Mojito in the City!

This charming restaurant in the Greenwich Village offers an extraordinary selection of Cuban, Latin and Spanish dishes. Food is really good but their Mojitos are just awesome! I confess myself as a Mojito lover and I can guarantee that you will not be deceived at all. If you are a cigar aficionado or just want to see how a cigar is hand rolled Cuba is your place.

If you like Latin rhythms you will have the chance to enjoy your dinner while feeling the salsa beat. And if you get in the mood then you can head to Son Cubano in my beloved Meatpaking District to continue the party.

¡Wepa, qué siga la fiesta!
