There's a huge field for running and playing, a great playground with two different sections for different-aged kids, swings and baby swings, and in the summer there is a free public pool!

My 3rd favorite restaurant. Great place if you have food restrictions, as there's a book you can see every single ingredient in all menu options. Really positive atmosphere. A bit pricey & nut-heavy.

75th Street Brewery
520 W 75th StI really like this place. Good food, good drink.
This place has a snobbish atmosphere, and very few sweetener / creamer options. Perfect if you're a true coffee snob.

Arts & Culture
You'd think a movie theater on the Plaza would be expensive, but you'd be dead wrong. This place is about 1/2 the price of AMC theaters, but it's just as nice! Even has a fancy-ish dining area!

Even if you don't go inside the museum, the grounds are beautiful. Lots of sculptures, including the famous huge badminton birdies. Be careful if you attempt the glass labyrinth though!
