Last year, I wrote about 27 Things to Do On A Sunny Sunday in LA. So after being asked if I'd ever put a NYC city guide together, I enlisted a few of my fave New Yorkers (and a few honorary New Yorkers like myself) to help me do just that. Not because I don't have 7402384204092843 must-dos of my own, but because these folks are there, keeping themselves entertained in their city, every day, all the time. And I like their suggestions almost as much as I like my own. 

1. Union Square Greenmarket 

2. Lobster rolls and Korean bbq at Smorgasburg; thrifted Dooney & Bourke's at Brooklyn Flea

3. Boozy brunch at Poco 

4. Coney Island, because chances are you've never been, and why not, at least just once? 

6. Bike ride the Hudson River Greenway along the West Side 

7. Walk the High Line -- grab a red velvet Ice Cream sandwich from Melt while up there -- to the Whitney Museum 

8. Take the East River Ferry from Williamsburg to DUMBO 

9. Then walk the Brooklyn Bridge into the city

10. You can also walk the Williamsburg Bridge to the Lower East Side (if you're starting on the WB end of town, or if the whole ferry thing doesn't appeal to you)

11. Take your pup to play at Prospect Park and maybe catch an open-air concert while you're at it

12. Look at art: Chelsea galleries like Marlborough 

13. Flip through books and zines at Printed Matter or POWERHOUSE Arena 

14. Grab lunch at Chelsea Market or Gansevoort Market

16. Or just coffee and a pastry at Intelligentsia inside the High Line Hotel  

17. Buy cheap trinkets on the street in SoHo 

18. Find an interactive gallery exhibit where you can do fun stuff like play in a balloon-filled room  

19. See a Broadway show, maybe Hamilton -- all the cool kids are raving about it 

20. Window shop your way to Kiki's for a killer ambiance, some of the best Greek food (fried cheese!) and a moderately priced carafe of wine

21. Meditate somewhere (it is possible, there's even a book about all the peaceful places you can go to in NYC) 

22. Get a Chinatown massage ("40 minute twenty dolla")

23. Feeling lazy? People watch in Union Square, Bryant Park or Washington Square Park

24. Burgers for dinner at Spotted Pig or Corner Bistro 

25. Dessert and/or a frozen cappuccino at Veniero's (the cap has a scoop of ice cream inside) 

26. Watch and listen to live jazz at Smalls, a cool, cozy little basement bar 

27. Then home to Mozart in the Jungle, because it's Sunday. Zzzzzzzzz.
