Food is delicious and sitting outside is a great experience. Beware lines are incredibly long especially on weekends (wait is maybe 2 hours on a Saturday night, so go put your name down, walk around, and come back later in the night!).

Better than the one in Paris that it is based on. Railway converted into an elevated walking path that goes all the way up to ~40th st, with rotating art installations, iconic buildings and unique lookouts. Avoid tourist crowds by going late or early (check the hours though).
