Things to Do in NYC This March: Dine in Style at Watermark Pink Pier
Love just comes in one color. Looking for a fun date night or ladies night spot and one of the best things to do in NYC this March? We got you covered. Head over to Watermark’s Pink Pier. This season, Bucketlisters partnered with Watermark to create a one of a kind pink wonderland. We sat in a pink greenhouse and dined on lobster and cheese heart shaped ravioli, spinach and artichoke dip (in ice cream cones), sliders, heart macarons and chocolate covered strawberries. We sipped on the Pink Bubble Bath and Sangria. This is the perfect experience for couples or a ladies night.
There are multiple photos ops, including a throne, sweetheart box, jumbo photo frame, floral arch and more. Watermark changes their decor with the seasons and holidays. You can see our prior posts here.

Things to Do in NYC This March: Indulge in Indian Food at Goa New York
You’re second to naan. Toronto’s seasoned Chef Hemant Bhagwani brings the taste of Goa to Tribeca with Goa New York. You’ll indulge in a culinary journey through the vibrant flavors of India without leaving Manhattan. Chef Bhagwani is reinventing Indian cuisine with colorful, vibrant and flavorful plates. The presentation is a show too and quite phenomenal too. We enjoyed a tasting menu with wine pairings. Let’s just say that we never know how well Indian food paired with wine until we dined at Goa New York. The murals, decor and light fixtures are stunning too. We can’t wait to take our parents here too.

Things to Do in NYC This March: Experience the Art of Omakase at Masaaki
The Art of Omakase at Masaaki is more than just a meal; it is an experience to transport and inspire. This was our first time experiencing Omakase. We rarely leave Manhattan for dinner, but let’s just say that Masaaki’s Omakase is definitely worth a trip to Queens. If you catch the express train, it’s just a 25 minutes and non stop from Penn Station to Bayside.
The phrase Omakase, translates to “I leave it up to you” and you are face to face with the chef, who will guide you through this intimate dining experience. The fish and ingredients are so fresh and delicious. You don’t even need to add soy sauce to the courses. We enjoyed the 15-course tasting and a sake tasting flight. It was unbelievable and we would definitely go back.

Things to Do in NYC This March: Learn About Film at the Museum of the Moving Image
Lights. Camera. Action. We visited the Museum of the Moving Image and learned about the history of many iconic films, television series and digital media. We don’t often leave the city for just anything, but this Museum is definitely one of the best things to do in NYC this March. Seeing the transformation of cameras and equipment was pretty cool too. The museum has some footage and memorabilia from iconic films and TV shows. This museum has been around since 1988 but this was our first time visiting. If you are a film buff, you should definitely visit this museum.

New York was no mere city. It was instead an infinitely romantic notion, the mysterious nexus of all love and money and power, the shining and perishable dream itself.

So many great things to do in NYC. This made me more excited to visit. Thank you!
It’s great that New York continues to be thriving even in the off season – always so much to do!
I’ve love to go back to NYC just to visit the rooftop bars! It was an amazing experience the first time but was all very much a tourist trip. I’d love to go more off the beaten track and live like a local!
I’ve never been to NYC but it always seems like there’s so much to do. It would be hard to pick just a few things for a trip. The museums sound interesting and I’ve never been to a rooftop restaurant or bar so that would be fun.
It’s been awhile since I have been to NYC but it never fails to amaze me that there are endless things to do there! I would love to dine in the Watermark Pink Pier and see the Art of Omakase – they both sound amazing and something I would enjoy doing.
Looks like a fun time in NYC. Being March is my birthday month I would love to take a trip to NYC and try out some of these spots.
I have never been to NYC but knowing all these things makes me so excited to visit that beautiful place.
NYC is beautiful and your recommendation is good. I love the clicks though.
I have visited NYC almost 8 times and I always love to explore something new. I would love to try some of these places on my next trip.
Those drinks look so good! All of these seem like such fun activities. I haven’t been to NYC for awhile, and this makes me want to visit again very soon!
I almost went to NYC this month but had to postpone it to later. Cool ideas though. Hopefully I’ll get to experience some later.
So many great ideas. I would love to visit the Winter Wonderland there. Sound like fun.
Aaahhh yes! It’s a date for the Indian food idea. It’s been a while since I last ate some.
So many fun things. Two of my favorites I see here. Indian food and sushi, YUM!
