2 Columbus CirService is terrible at the best of times, but the setting more than makes up for it. Go there for brunch (and make sure you've visited the bathroom beforehand, as the cafe shares with the rest of the park). This spot is outdoors and closes when it gets too cold.

Loud, brash, all around American favourite. Tip - download the Opentable app to book a table. There's always one available within 15 - 20 mins ... however, if you walk-in they'll make you wait half an hour at least (while running up a huge bill at the bar)!

I'm from London. In London they do Thai food well. In New York they generally don't. At Land Thai, they do Thai food as well as London. Don't be put off by the B rating! (Also try Pure Thai Chopshop in Hell's Kitchen, it's the same owner).

100,000 square feet of fitness. Lap pool, outdoor elevated running track, classes galore, spa, Kiehl's on tap, indoor basketball courts, barre studio, boxing studio, cycling studio and cafe.

Service isn't great, but a perfect spot for a date. If the weather is mild sit outside. A good option for drinks, never been impressed with the food.
