Agent Poll: What’s The Best Place to Be in Summer in NYC?

With over 500 agents in 7 offices, we are never at a loss for great recommendations on where to eat, drink and be merry in NYC.

We asked our agents what their favorite place to be in summer in NYC is. Here is their responses along with pictures they snapped.

1.) Gansevort Hotel – 420 Park Ave South – Flatiron

I love having a glass of wine on one of the city’s amazing rooftop lounges. One of my favorites is at the Gansevort Hotel in the Meatpacking District. You get to see this city from whole different perspective and it is absolutely breathtaking.

8.) Central Park

My favorite thing to do in the summer is to go for a nice run around the six-mile Central Park loop in the morning. I get there before it gets too hot and crowded, its peaceful and motivating because there are so many other people running, walking, biking and training.

9) East River Esplanade – East River – East Side

I LOVE walking the East River Esplanade down in the Financial District and hanging out on Pier 15, which is a sort of raised lawn jutting out into the river. Last time I was there, there was a group doing AcroYoga, which was really cool and indicative of the variety of culture that is making FiDi more than just a place to work. Plus, on the lower level, there’s Watermark Bar / Lounge for food and drink.
