Monde en Virée

We took a helicopter tour over Manhattan! Yes, yes! Flying over the Hudson River and seeing the city from the sky is simply an unforgettable experience. From the air, we had an incredible view of New York's major landmarks, such as the Statue of Liberty, One World Trade Center, and even Central Park.

This chain of fish and seafood restaurants is based on the movie Forrest Gump. Everything is inspired by it, whether it's the restaurant's décor, the way to stop the waiters, or the menu. The movie is even shown on TVs, and sometimes the waiters come to check our knowledge of the film before serving our meal!

In fact, before discovering the Top of The Rock, this is where I used to go to say hello to New York. However, I somewhat neglected it because there were a lot of people and I prefer the view from Rockefeller, which also allows you to see the Empire State Building!

It’s a true Neapolitan restaurant right behind Times Square. The prices are a bit high, but the quality is definitely there! A must if you love Italian cuisine and want to vary from burgers: I absolutely recommend it for all lovers of Italian food.

A small unpretentious Dominican restaurant, it is an authentic spot where homemade flavorful dishes are served. This modest place attracts a loyal clientele, especially locals who come here like to a canteen.

Is it possible to eat well in New York?

  • You don't have to eat burgers and fries at every meal. There's a wide variety of choices and prices! I recommend getting away from the big tourist centers to find wonderful little places to eat. And if you get the chance, you can visit certain neighborhoods with a guide: most of them live there and know the best local addresses!
