Welcome to New York: 20 Adventures for MozCon Attendees

Here are a few recommendations for lunch, dinner, snacks – you name it! All within walking distance of the MozCon venue.

Tony DiNapoli’s

Family-style Italian  
Walk time: 10 minutes | Address: 147 W 43rd St
Suggested by: Kolleen Shallcross | Owner | Shallcross Marketing

From Kolleen: “For dining in the theatre district, Tony DiNapoli’s is priced right for families and big parties. The food is great, and the waiters occasionally sing a tune.”

Monkey Bar

American cocktail bar 
Walk time: 12 minutes | Address: 60 E 54th St
Suggested by: Catherine Lux | Head of SEO | Assembly Global

From Catherine:  “If there’s one thing you have to treat yourself to in New York, it’s dinner at Monkey Bar. I first visited this iconic restaurant in December 2017, and it’s a restaurant I now have to visit every time I go to NYC. Founded in 1936 and located on the Upper East Side, tucked away on a street between Park Avenue and 5th Avenue, it is undoubtedly the epitome of old-school New York. Think leather banquettes, dark and moody lighting, well-heeled New Yorkers, and a steak that will make your mouth water long after you’ve left (although their fish options are also delicious!). They also have an excellent cocktail menu — I recommend the White Yuzu or the Monkey Bar Martini! Just don’t tell anyone about it — it’s a local secret…”

Arlo Midtown

Cocktail bar 
Walk time: 25 minutes | Address: 351 W 38th St
Suggested by: Jonas Sickler | Sr. Market Insights Analyst, Search and Gen AI | Terakeet

From Jonas: “If you love exotic cocktails and want to experience the quintessential NYC vibe, make reservations at the rooftop bar at Arlo Midtown. If that’s full, you can still grab drinks at the bar inside, or their incredible restaurant, Altair.”

Stop at a New York deli

Walk time: Varied 
Suggested by: Jon Robinson | VP SEO & Podcast Host | CAMG, Jon & Marc

From Jon:When is it ok to visit NYC and NOT go to a deli? Never. As a native New Yorker, now that Carnegie Deli is closed, there are three options for quality deli in the city:”

1. Sarge’s Deli | 548 3rd Ave, New York, NY 10016

“Small with limited seating, but by far the best option.”

2. Second Avenue Deli | 162 E 33rd St, New York, NY 10016

“Go to the real one on E. 33rd. This is a photo I took of the platter with salami, turkey, corned beef, pastrami, roast beef, tongue, and chopped liver. It’s also Kosher.”

3. Katz Deli 205 E Houston St, New York, NY 10002

“Want the tourist experience? Bring cash, your best screaming voice, and don’t lose your ticket, or the bouncer at the front won’t let you leave.” 
Heads up! This location is a bit farther away. You may want to consider taking the subway or a cab.  
Fun fact! This is the deli from that scene in When Harry Met Sally
