The best place to have a picnic in New York City’s Central Park is Sheep Meadow.

Why you should listen to me: I’ve lived in New York City for over 11 years. During that time I have hosted dozens of picnics in the park. I’ve filmed videos about picnics.

Today I went on a great food tour in Manhattan’s East Village.

• Airbnb Experiences: Discover Filipino Food in East Village
• Cost: $44 as of June 2019. This was a good value.
• Small group (maximum 6 people + 1 sharp tour guide).
• Generous portions of food over 2.5 hours.
