Restaurant situated down a side street between Barkers and Gap. It looks like an office block from the side but if you look carefully, you will see the entrance for the restaurant. Provides lovely views over the gardens and the south side of west london, but the restaurant is expensive in the evenings. however, the lunchtime weekday special is an absolute bargain for the location.
Kensington High St station, exit, turn right onto High St and right again at Gap. Entrance is on the right just before the square
New obsesrvatory deck (opened November 1 2005) on the top of the Rockefeller Center. Amazing views of the park, bridges and, of course, the Empire State building! Well worth it and wait times to get in are currently considerably shorter than the Empire State as it's new and still being publicised.
Rockerfeller Center (nearest station is 47-50 Rockefeller Center)
Classy restaurant in the style of El Bulli (Spain), or WD-50 (New York). Very good food, quirky combinations but all delicious. Food has a Catalan-touch to it, but the staff are incredibly slick while being really friendly and can advise in English, too. They also offer tasting menus from four to seven courses. Excellent place, a must for "foodies" or anyone who is sick of sausage and potatoes!
Grosse Hamburger Strasse 32

Nearest stations: S-Bahn Oranienburger strasse or Hackesher Markt
Fantastic New York experience - amazing food, everything you can think of and full of locals! Breakfast special to recommend is bagel with smoked salmon and cream cheese, orange juice and coffee for $4.50 - it's a bargain! They do lovely cakes too.
80th & Broadway (nearest station 79th street)
