Kick-start your day
Pick an area like the East Village or Chelsea and find yourself a little hole-in-the-wall coffee shop – there are hundreds, with new ones opening up all the time – to get you moving, on the move.

A view to a thrill
I love finding great viewpoints when I’m travelling. There’s a great new development on the Hudson River called Little Island where you can see the entire river, right down to the Statue of Liberty.

Hungry? Go Italian...
For lunch or dinner, I’m a big fan of Barbuto in the West Village. It’s the brainchild of a chef from California who fell in love with Italian cooking. They use tons of fresh, seasonal ingredients.

Hit the trail
Walking is my favourite way to see NY but cycling is also fantastic, especially the Manhattan Greenway Trail, a waterfront trail from Harlem to Battery Park with great views of the Hudson.

After hours
Pastis is a French brasserie in the Meatpacking district that I love, and Corner Bistro does a great burger. Then pick a district – the West Village has great wine bars and jazz – and go with the flow!
