Day 1: Prospect Park Zoo

Grab a New York bagel from Bagel Pub and take a stroll through historic Grand Army Plaza. If time allows check out Prospect Park Zoo, where you’ll see more than 400 different animals. For lunch, head to Joe’s Pizza for some famous New York pizza. Immerse yourselves in a matinee show of The Lion King on Broadway before heading to dinner at iconic Carbone, known for its Italian American cuisine that’s served family style. After dinner, take in the dazzling lights of Times Square before heading to your luxurious New York hotel.
Day 2: Central Park Zoo & MoMA

Indulge in a delicious brunch at Central Park Boathouse before heading to Central Park Zoo where you can take in some of the city’s most unique views. Head to Dos Toros Taqueria for a late lunch before visiting The Museum of Modern Art. Afterwards, take a stroll down Fifth Avenue and grab a fresh baked black & white cookie from Chip City.
Day 3: Shopping day

Indulge in the Creame Brulee French Toast at Little Collins. Afterward, head to Fifth Avenue for a day of luxury shopping. For a shopping break, enjoy a light lunch at Shake Shack, a beloved spot for burgers and shakes. The black and white shake is my personal favorite. Afterward, continue your shopping, exploring the designer boutiques and flagship stores. Head to Eataly NYC Flatiron, a vibrant Italian marketplace with various food counters and restaurants, for a fun and casual dinner. Enjoy a variety of dishes and desserts in this lively setting, creating a perfect ending to your day of shopping.
Day 4: Central Park & Natural History Museum

Start your day with a fun and interactive breakfast at Ellen’s Stardust Diner, where you can enjoy delicious food served with a side of singing entertainment. After breakfast, take a leisurely walk in Central Park, enjoying the greenery and maybe even a horse-drawn carriage ride. For lunch, head to Serendipity 3, a whimsical eatery known for its frozen hot chocolate and eclectic menu. Afterward, visit the American Museum of Natural History, where you can discover the secret world of elephants and mingle with hundreds of butterflies. Conclude your trip with authentic Greek cuisine at Telio Taverna. I highly recommend starting your meal with Saganaki.
