Times Square: The beating heart of New York City 🚖🌟 
📸 Immerse yourself in the excitement of Times Square, the iconic square that embodies the spirit of the Big Apple like no other. 🍎🗽

🕰️ A little history: once named Longacre Square, it was renamed Times Square in 1904 in honor of the New York Times headquarters. Since then, it has become a true symbol of the city that never sleeps. 📰

🚖 Iconic of the city, New York's yellow cabs crisscross Times Square at all hours of the day and night, offering a unique and dynamic atmosphere. 🌇🌃

NYC Must Try: Okatte Tanto

This spot is a traditional and authentic Japanese joint serving fresh sushi and a variety of elevated cold and hot Japanese dishes. I really enjoyed their popular pork katsu sando, mentai udon, and fried oysters that they make right in front of you. Their drinks are also fantastic - I’d recommend getting the Shochu Woolong and the Summer Orange!

Pro tip: If you want to get the $34 hidden menu item tuna bone, call ahead to make a reservation - they only serve the tuna bone from 5-6:45pm and it’s first reserved, first served with their limited stock per day.

What I Ordered:
- Tuna Bone [must-try]
- Mentai Udon [must-try]
- Pork Katsu Sando
- Fried Oysters
- Octopus marinated with wasabi
- Shochu Woolong - drink
- Summer Orange - drink

PIER 97 is NOW OPEN at Hudson River Park: New York City’s newest recreational and lounging green space!!!
Designed by !melk, Pier 97 features a playground with water spray features, a synthetic turf field, a sloping sun lawn, sculptural shade structures, an elevated walkway with seating, an “all-ages” slide and a sunset deck complete with bistro tables, chaise lounges and two-tiered walls with seating. The pier also features flexible gathering areas surrounded by flowers and plants to provide space for organized or impromptu events.

History: Hudson River Park’s northernmost pier was built between 1921 and 1934, and then served for decades as the hub for the Swedish America Line. While it remained an active dock through the 1970s, Pier 97 was used as a parking lot by the City of New York Department of Sanitation until 2011.

Hours: Open daily 6 AM - 1 AM

📍 Access through West 57th Street in Hell’s Kitchen, Manhattan, New York City

Bar 54 is the tallest rooftop bar in Times Square!
And also among the highest in the city. 

Located at the Hyatt Centric Times Square, Bar 54 offers a really superb river-to-river view, including the Chrysler Building and all of lower Manhattan. The bar serves an impressive drink menu, including a large set of well crafted cocktails, beers, wines in both glass and by bottle, a wide section of whiskey and also some tasty bar bites. The rooftop is open year-round, thanks to a chic and intimate indoor space.

Escape to a beautiful urban oasis in the middle of New York City. 
Greenacre Park is a 6,000-square foot oasis nestled among tall towers in midtown Manhattan. Inside the park a 25-foot tall waterfall cools the air and mutes the noise from the surrounding traffic, creating a perfect and refreshing space to enjoy a relaxing, comfortable atmosphere.

Park opens daily from 8:00am - 6:00pm.
