On 5th Ave, An award winning family owned restaurant. Home to some of the greatest pizza in NYC (honestly, I'm a hard pizza from Chicago who loves her deep dish). I always order the “Focaccia Della Nonna- deep dish style” , it’s similar to a grandma’s pizza for reference.

On 5th Ave. , some of the best traditional Colombian dishes, I recommend the Camarones Al Ajillo (garlic shrimp) if you're a seafood eater like me. Smaller side portions, but totally worth it

Just a bit over 2 miles from the apartment, sightsee away at Brooklyn Bridge Park, it's fun and free. After walking the bridge, hang out in the park, play ball on the basketball courts where NYC skyline lives as a beautiful backdrop, and don't forget to grab a slice of world famous Grimaldi's pizza.
