8a – Breakfast at Maison
We enjoyed a lovely breakfast at a French cafe near our hotel (which is sadly now closed) before we ventured south on the subway.

9:30a – Explore Little Italy & Chinatown
It was fun to walk the streets of Little Italy and Chinatown, taking in the street vendors, the architecture, and the people.

12p – Lunch at Lombardi’s
We were told Lombardi’s is an institution where New York style pizza is concerned. It was definitely worth the long wait for a table!

2p – Washington Square Park & Greenwich Village
Washington Square Park was another famous landmark that we wanted to visit. Being near NYU, it was a mecca for throngs of college students, working professionals, and aspiring artists alike.

6p – Dinner at Bareburger
This has officially become our favorite burger joint anywhere in the country! Juicy grass-fed beef overflowing with amazing house-made sauces and toppings.

We couldn’t miss coming back to Washington Square Park after dark to see the Christmas tree all lit up.
