| This Jamaican/Southern restaurant always delivers amazing food, great atmosphere and a year-round supply of beautiful people. Reservation recommended, but not required. |

|
| The only place where you can get just the right mix of Jazz and BBQ. Deviled eggs will make you want to spank yourself, and don't get me started on the chicken. Call for reservation at this citified BBQ. |

| Central Park - A must for Springtime visits to New York. A bike ride is a great way to see all of Central Park. Feeling extra adventurous? Ride down Riverside Park for great views of the Hudson. Not into pedal time? Paddle around in a rented boat at the boat house. Want to really park it? Grab a blanket and frisbee and hit the East Meadow for people watching. |

| You can shop in dept. stores when you get home. Hit the streets for some good deals, quirky items, sunshine and novelty shopping. |

5. Russian Bath House - 10th Street
|
|
| Springtime showers putting a damper on your weekend? Relax. Seriously, relax at Russian Bath House in the East Village. |
|

|
| You could be like every other tourist and take the ferry to Staten Island, but at the end of the ride, you're in Staten Island. Take the ten min ferry to Hoboken and walk along Washington Street for eats, shops and the occasional festival. |

7. Anthony David's - Hoboken
|
|
| Quaint old-timey restaurant offers good food and outside dining on a nice day. Brunch until 3 pm. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Ready to get your brunch on? No frills french restaurant has outside seating and delivers a yummy brunch with a drink for $12.95. Want frills? Hit Norma's at the Parker Meridian Hotel. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Just need to recharge with a quick bite? Soy Luck Club has healthy food with a funky vibe. Has loads of mags, so good place to kill time while waiting for someone else. Also great shopping on this little stretch of Greenwich ave. |
|
|
10. Liberty Helicopter Tours
|
|
| Want a bird's eye view of the city? A little pricey, but worth it on a clear day. There is also The Big Apple Manhattan Helicopter Tour and US Helicopter downtown. Check to see which one suits your schedule and budget. Alright, so this may be my one exception to the list. New Yorker's don't actually spend their weekends flying over the Statue of Liberty, but it really is spectacular, especially if you don't spend a lot of time in choppers. |
