The Gallery at The Carlyle

Welcome to my completely unorganized but oh-so-helpful map of New York City! An absolute smorgasbord of my own travels and research, suggestions from friends and strangers, and many treasures found along the way, this is where I compile all things NYC for my future trips and yours. Things I particularly love that you’ll find a lot of: ☕️ Coffee shops & bakeries 🌮 Local cuisine 🏛️ Museums of all kinds 🌳 Gardens & parks 🛏️ Boutique hotels 🍕 Small regional chains with good reputations All my guides in this category are $5 per 100 places included, but since I add to these constantly, you can lock down the lowest price today and gain a lifetime access!

2024 was more of a homebody year for me and my family, but between a visit to NYC to see my sister, my eldest daughter’s first Disney vacation, a family reunion in Kentucky, celebrating our ninth anniversary in Kansas City, and lots of Tennessee day trips, I was still able to see lots of new corners of our wild world. Enjoy this travel journal of over 300 places, including: 🖼️ 32 Museums, Gardens, Theatres, and Attractions ☕️ 63 Coffee Shops 🍽️ 79 Restaurants, Bakeries, Bars, and Food Trucks 🛏️ 14 Hotels, Bed & Breakfasts, and Airbnbs ⛪️ 18 Places of Worship ✨ and a whole bunch more! Scroll to the bottom for my favorites of the year!
