Tao is one of the better nightclubs in the city. There are two locations but the downtown one is the place to be.
Let me know if you plan on going, let me know in advance, I can probably get you on a list for free entrance and a table with bottle service.

Lavo is my favorite midtown club to check out. Very fun and high energy. Lots of surprise celebrity appearances and great DJs.

This is a cooler "underground" spot in the city. A lot of people don't know about it. Has a fun speakeasy vibe with great cocktails.

If you want an authentic Bagel while you visit, the trip to Ess-A-Bagel is worth it. I promise.
Pro-tip, skip the line (there always is one) and go inside to the "Express Bagel" counter at the back. The bagels are always hot and fresh , they just don't cut them and you have to order the spreads on the side. A good trade off for cutting out a 25/30-minute wait.

Parks & Nature
In my personal Opinion, the best park in NYC. Just a couple of blocks away, this park is HUGE and full of some really great trails, biking and running paths, as well as views. You can even book rowboats, fishing lessons, and horseback trail rides.
It's also less "touristy" than central park so you won't have as many crowds.

If you want a genuinely authentic experience, I highly recommend the Tenement Museum. It's a really amazing way to learn about NYC's history and culture.
