Hello from NYC!

I just wrapped up a big conference at the United Nations for my day job: www.incentive2innovate.com and now have some time to play in NYC. It’s true what those myriad of t-shirts and other touristy gifts say….I heart NY. And if you know Naomi (and husband Josh) you definitely know that they heart NY, too. And now without further ado, is the  Rockstar Diaries’ ultimate guide to the best things in NYC on $30 a day.

I am so excited that Stephanie asked me to share how I’d spend $30 in a day in New York City! While my husband and I just moved away from NYC a few months ago {we live in DC now}, we will never forget all the fun we had over the years taking advantage of that glorious city {and all that glorious food}.

There are so many exceptional restaurants and museums and shops in NYC, and many are reasonably priced. But I decided to share with you a few of my all time favorite things, which make any summer day beyond lovely.

{doughnut plant, lower east side}

To start out, try a Creme Brulee doughnut at the Doughnut Plant on the lower east side. Hands down, the best doughnuts we’ve ever had. {around $3.00}

If you like art, head over to the Metropolitan Museum of Art on the upper east side. They have some great exhibits going on this summer like The Model as the Muse . {Suggested donation, $5.00}

{grimaldi's pizza, brooklyn}

We love walking {or biking} across the Brooklyn Bridge and having the #1 rated best pizza in NYC at Grimaldi’s . Share a whole 18″ pie {$14.00}.

{shake shack}

And for dessert, split a hand spun shake or custard in Madison Square Park at the Shake Shack . {$5.25}
