know about it's at a bar called beast and butterflies and you've got to check this out
oh this is nice it's actually a nice hotel all right i've been to a lot of rooftops in new york
city but i have to say this view is unique i can't think of too many where you were just
staring straight on to times square and you have all that noise all that hustle and bustle and
we're sort of away from it we're protected from it but we can hear it it's kind of like being a
top of the rock but at a bar let me find it let me find it up there's times square okay that's a lot
of people i see it i have to say the stereotype at hotel bars isn't always the best quality cocktails

surreal i'm actually in new york city moments stand right here with a drink
or many drinks they just opened up the entire kitchen for us this is actually really good wow

on a rooftop bar eating lobster rolls looking at times square i should have
put this when i was in third grade like this is the career i want teacher wouldn't believe me

our next hidden gem is right here what's that picture
one of the best hidden gems in all of new york city not just times square is underneath this
great on broadway between 45th and 46th streets 99.9 of people and all these people posing for
photos they don't realize they're walking over an art piece which was installed in 1977 by an
aural artist named max newhouse it's called times square and there's a humming sound it sounds like
i'll show you if you walk by here it kind of sounds like an alien is playing a xylophone and
it's actually pretty surreal because it's drowning with all the other sounds of the city the sirens
the cars honking all the people yet every time i pass by i always notice it normally
i just ignore this it's like i never thought it's actually some synchronized type of uh hum or music
like a part of a new yorker's cool club for knowing this fact
it's just a consistent wow
inside the herald square district shopping court is some sushi that you need to try
the best spots in new york are hidden in the back of little markets like this
we like to put cream cheese and everything deep fried everything and we have a secret sauce
people from sao paulo actually they ordered hot philadelphia it's hot not because it's spicy yeah
