What is the best place to go to in new york city?

Answer 1

I really enjoy the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) and the Metropolitan Museum (the MET) a lot. Awesome places to visit.

Answer 2

Here are some ideas of what you can do. First, get a good tour map. Then I recommend you take the BIG APPLE double decker tour bus for an overview of the city. There are several different neighborhoods so I'll highlight these and what to see:
Upper East Side: Metropolitan Museum of Art, Guggenheim, Whitney Museum. Walk up and down Madison Avenue for awesome shops and boutiques 96th - 57th st. Walk Park Avenue for architecture all the way to Grand Central Terminal and see the treasures located within. Walk along 5th Avenue to see/go in and out of Central Park - go for a run, go to the Central Park Zoo, go to the Carousel, go for a gondola ride at the boat house.
UPPER WEST SIDE:
Museum of Natural History -a must! on Central Park West,
Walk along Columbus Avenue. Visit the West side of Central Park and pay respects to John Lennon's Strawberry Fields.
MIDTOWN:
Shopping - 57th St (Chanel and the gang), Fifth Avenue - must see Henri Bendel, Bergdorf Goodman, Saks and FAO Schwartz - many other fun stores.
St. Patrick's Cathedral
Museum of Modern Art
Sony Bldg
Rockefeller Center
Go west to awesome new Time Warner center and visit the new Mandarin Hotel bar/restaurant for awesome view and treats!
Oh, Bloomingdale's is on 59th St and Lexington.
Empire State Bldg.
The Intrepid Aircraft Museum is fascinating and on the West side...worth the visit even if you have no kids.

CHELSEA:
Walk around the blooming area sprouting awesome restaurants and shops. Chelsea Pier is fun.

WALL ST:
Pay respects to the 9/11 victims and heroes at the WTC site., Walk Wall St., visit the Chase Hdqtrs, Federal Reserve. Seaport area is great to see.

THE VILLAGE:
Funky shops in the West Village. Walk through the NYU Washington Square Park. The East Village has some shops from new artists and designers

SOHO:
Great galleries and shops on n off West Broadway. Walk thru to Little Italy for awesome meals and desserts...walk through Chinatown. CANAL STREET has stall after stall of Designer "copies"...bring cash and bargain and watch your purse!

These should put an awesome smile on your face. Bring your camera and takes lots of photos to remember your trip. You'll have a blast! OH...BUY this weekly magazine: TIMEOUT NEW YORK on any newstand to see what's going on each week/day. :)

The best food ever and the best best deserts OMG......
Here's a little write up its inexpensive to moderate:
YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED............
Westville seems like it was uprooted from some lazy summer-vacation town, then trailer-towed, Grapes of Wrath-style, to West 10th Street. "Nothing fancy" is partner Jay Strauss's motto. Which means paper napkins and tables so close your neighbors are going to ask what you're eating. But that doesn't rule out organic greens, a brawny burger on a Portuguese muffin, a Niman Ranch hot dog and mac 'n' cheese punctuated with bacon. Whatever you do, save room for dessert.

Answer 4

It depends what your into. Central Park is really nice. You could go to John Lennon's Memorial or the Met which are both in the park.. Battery park is a good starting point for an adventure. From there you can go to the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island or walk to Ground Zero.

Answer 5

You should find one of those places that offers tours. They'll take you all over the city, point out the high places, and you'll see most of the things you've heart about NYC in a days time.

Answer 6

It depends what you are into. You can do the touristy thing i.e. Empire State Building, statue of Liberty, Top of the Rock they're generally good places to start. I recommend staying in the outer boroughs, if you stay in the city it can be very pricey. Hope this helped...have a good trip.

Answer 7

Greenwich Village

Answer 8

If you are looking for knock offs (handbags, glasses, jewelry, perfume, etc.) go to Chinatown on the corner of West Broadway and Canal. They have everything you want without paying the high price.

Answer 9

Angelos in little italy

Answer 10

If i had to pick one place out of the bazillion places to go it'd have to be Times square
Day or night.
