Daniella Alonso: Top Five NYC Spots
1) The Meadow in Central Park. Not even the Meadow, all of Central Park. There are so many little nooks and crannies in Central Park, I remember just hanging out with all my friends.
2) Grays Papaya on 72nd Street. The best hot dogs in all of New York.
3) St. Marks Street. I got my tattoo there. There are a lot of cool restaurants like Dojos, which I’m obsessed with.
4) I love the area of Broadway between Halston and Canal, that whole little strip. That’s where I shop, that’s where I hang out, have coffee, eat, a lot of cool memories there.
5) The Upper West Side, which is where I grew up. Just walking around the streets, I get that feeling of home. Even though it’s part of Manhattan, everyone kind of knows each other. You know the deli owner, you know the owners of the little boutiques and the stores where you get ice cream.
