Special occasion in New York

[Guest]

After much back and forth, it looks like I will be spending my 50th birthday in New York next year. I would be interested in ideas of special / unusual things to do on the day, which will be a Sunday. I have been to NY many many times before so have done the main sights, although my last trip was a decade ago. We will be travelling as two adults in April.

In addition, if anybody can recommend fine dining that would be appreciated. I had a few ideas but found that some are shut on Sundays.

Firstly, congratulations. Why not have a look at Keens on 36th Street. They are definitely open on Sundays.

Was just about to say Keens too. Amazing place with lots of history behind it too.

Thank you. I will take a look, I have never heard of it so that is interesting.

Edit: It looks good, definitely on the list, my husband would be salivating at the tripadvisor food photos.

We spent our 25th wedding anniversary at Keen’s and had a fabulous meal. Definitely worth adding to your list.

Yes thank you, currently a very short list. I have held a booking at Capital Grille for dinner but seems a bit unimaginative and I am not enthusing over it.

I had dinner at the Gramercy Tavern on my 40th birthday last year. DH and I both loved it.

Edit: during the trip we also had breakfast at Tiffany’s! You have to do a bit of planning to snag a reservation as soon as reservations are opened for your date, but it was a special experience. After breakfast we ordered the celebration cake; the leftovers came back to the hotel and were breakfast for the next couple of days as well!

Keens is lovely. As recommended Grammercy tavern is really good. Best food I’ve had in New York and certainly fitting for a big Birthday is Daniel - amazing

Firstly Happy Birthday in advance and secondly I agree New York is a brilliant city to celebrate. We have only been once and didn’t do any fine dining on our family trip 😀 But special ideas for me on a birthday celebration would be good tickets for a Broadway show (preferably Hamilton) Something a little different would be a helicopter tour of the city maybe? Definitely a trip to Tiffany’s for a birthday gift too.
