Restaurant:
Caravan of Dreams
Address: 405 E.6th St New York, NY
Website: Caravanofdreams.net
Caravan of Dreams is not your typical kosher restaurant. In fact it is a vegan restaurant that happens to be kosher and delicious too. You may be wondering what a vegan place could actually serve that's tasty. Well, aside from great hummus and dips that rival any Israeli joint, and a variety of soups your Sabbath meal has never seen, their specialties include burritos, stir-fry, sandwiches and fresh smoothies that can help any hungry couple get their fill in no time. If you two are downtown and hungry, give Caravan of Dreams a try.
Museum:
Yeshiva University Museum at the Center for Jewish History
Address: 15 W. 16th St. New York, NY
Website: cjh.org
Downtown, near the previous century's Jewish cultural heart, is the Center for Jewish History, a conglomerate of several museums in one location. The Yeshiva University Museum lies in close proximity to the American Sephardi Federation, and many other interesting Jewish Museums. With many diverse exhibitions, which include an extensive well-reviewed Dreyfus affair exhibit, a photographic exhibition devoted to Safed, a piece on women behind the mechitzas, and Jewish chaplains in the U.S. Army, the center offers a great, fresh take on history and will certainly provide a fun time for both of you.
Music Experience: SonicVision
Address: Central Park West, and W.79 St.
Website: amnh.org
The American Museum of Natural History, in collaboration with MTV2, has launched SonicVision. SonicVision takes audiences in the Hayden Planetarium Space Theater on a mind-warping musical roller-coaster ride through a fantastical dreamspace. With a mix by Moby and tracks from other artists including: Radiohead, U2, David Bowie, Coldplay, the music ignites this one-of-a-kind computer-generated musical and visual experience, which uses next-generation digital technology to illuminate the planetarium's dome with a dazzling morphing of colorful visions. SonicVision is presented every Saturday evening at 7:30 and 8:30 pm in the Hayden Planetarium at the Museum's Rose Center for Earth and Space.
