With great brunch spots, the Met, Central Park, and great shopping, there's more to the Upper East Side than Prada shoes and handbag-sized dogs! Perfect for a family day or just a lazy Sunday with your closest friends!

  • Metropolitan Museum of Art

    1000 5th Ave , New York, NY : (212) 570-3949

    Perfect for all ages - there's something for everyone! From walking around the magnificent Temple of Dendur, an ancient Egyptian temple with original hieroglyphics, to gawking at the extravagant fashions in the Costume Gallery, to the collection of Monet and Degas, it's truly spectacular. You could spend a whole day - and the cafeteria is definitely a step above what you'd expect.

  • Central Park Zoo

    830 5th Avenue, 64th & 65th , New York, NY : (718) 220-5100

    The famous Central Park Zoo may not have as many animals or as much variety as its counterpart in the Bronx, but it's got personality and really caters to the younger (read: children) set. With fun activities and great displays, the Zoo is a must-see for all NY visitors. The seals, a New York favorite, can be seen just walking by, so no tickets needed. But the zoo itself is definitely worth the admission price of $8 for adults and only $3 for kids.

  • Christian Louboutin Boutique

    965 Madison Avenue, 75th & 76th , New York, NY : (212) 396-1884

    A playground for fashion-minded! Shoes typically range from $350 - $1200+, but even if you're not going to make a purchase, trying on the red-soled masterpieces can be a joy in itself. Try not to drool.

  • Paris Match

    29 E 65th Street, 5th & Madison , New York, NY : (212) 737-4400

    A French bistro on the Upper East Side, Paris Match is cozy and a great way to end a long day. Sushi is a surprising addition to the otherwise standard French fare, but the rolls would rival even the best sushi restaurant. The onion soup is a can't-miss, and the frites will make the kids happy.

  • Emack & Bolio's

    1564A 1st Avenue, 81st & 82nd , New York, NY : (212) 750-4164

    End the evening with some delicious ice cream from Boston-based Emack & Bolio's. While Upper East Side women often prefer the lower-calorie alternatives, such as Pinkberry and Tasti-D-Lite, the real thing at Emack & Bolio's just doesn't compare. On a warm evening, take a cone to go, walk along 1st Avenue, and take part in the oldest New York past-time: People watching.
