New York!!!?

Question

i am going to new york on friday fro 6 nights any tips on things i should see/ do??

Answer 1

Take a hat, gloves, a warm coat and shoes for snow - it's 23 degrees now (2pm) and snow is predicted for Tuesday.

Have New York's biggest bargain - a meal at Gray's Papaya - 2 wonderful hotdogs and a delicious fresh tropical juice for $2.00 - no seating - you eat them standing up at a counter. One in Greenwich Village at the corner of 8th Street and Sixth Avenue adn there's one on the upper West Side at the corner of Broadway and 72nd.

Go to Chinatown - buy souvenirs - and definitely eat there - most restaurants serve a good lunch for $6 or less.

Visit the East Village - walk down Second Avenue and come back up First Avenue. Check out all the little shops, boutiques and inexpensive ethnic restaurants.

Check out the TimeWarner building at 60th Street.

Ride the Staten Island Ferry (it's free) - you get a great view of the Statue of Liberty and the Manhattan skyline.

See some shows - there are some great shows Off-Broadway-much less expensive than the Broadway shows.

If you enjoy the art museums and only have time for one, make it the Metropolitan - one of the best in the world. The Museum of Natural History is great.

If you enjoy sports, check out Madison Square Garden.

Buy yourself a copy of TimeOut New York and look at all the museums, shows, concerts, sales, and other events. If you can get that magazine where you live, buy a copy now and plan your trip - you're sure to find things of interest there.

And, have a great time!

Answer 2

With nearly a week in New York, you're there long enough to be able to see all the "must sees" that guide books will direct you to and then take a couple of days and hop on outbound subways to the other boroughs. There's lots of fascinating stuff that's not in Midtown or lower Manhattan.

Queens alone has countless things to see. I'd suggest taking the A-train out to Broad Channel (where you can explore the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge) and Rockaway Beach. You can take the 7 or E-trains east and have lunch at any of countless different ethnic neighborhoods in Queens. Take the F or V-trains to the Steinway stop and see the American Museum of the Moving Image, one of the city's best museums. You can also catch some of the best views of the Manhattan skyline from Gantry Plaza near the Vernon/Jackson 7-train stop in Long Island City and then see the famous Unisphere in Corona Park.

In the Bronx you can take the tour of historic Yankee Stadium, see the Hall of Fame for Great Americans, Edgar Allen Poe's last home, and the famous Bronx Zoo, among numerous other attractions.

The Brooklyn waterfront is one of the most rapidly gentrifying areas of the city. There are wonderful cafes there with beautiful city views. Brooklyn also has a great art museum, one of the best botanic gardens anywhere, and the classic attractions of Coney Island.

Also take the ferry over to Staten Island, and then take the train south to Tottenville. There you can visit Conference House, one of the oldest buildings in America and the site of a famous conference that hoped to avert the American Revolution.

Northern Manhattan also has many attractions that tourists often miss. One of my favorites is the Cloisters at 190th Street on the A-train. This branch of the Metropolitan Museum is housed in a reproduction of a medieval castle and is truly fascinating--as is peaceful Ft. Tyron Park that surrounds it.

Answer 3

Museum of Natural History-models of evolution of man and famous gems.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art has everything-not just paintings and sculptures, but also knights and armor, mummies, an Egyptian temple. It's well worth the trip.
Take a ride on the Staten Island Ferry. It's cheap and fun
Have a dim sum brunch on Sunday morning in Chinatown.
Make a reservation for the pretheater dinner at The Four Seasons, one of the most famous restaurants in the world. If you are seated by 6:15, the entire dinner from appetizer to dessert is only $65. Ask to be seated in the pool room. The trees in the pool room are decorated according to the season. Jackets and ties are required for men. No jeans or corduroy pants. You may see the occasional celebrity there. The phone number is 212-754-9494.
Get a discount ticket for the theater. You can find them on line searching for discount broadway tickets or at the half price ticket booth. You definitely want to see a Broadway play.
Go shopping at Century 21 for discount high style. It's across the street from Ground Zero.
If you want to eat very cheap, but it's way out in Brighton Beach near JFK Airport, try Cafe Glechik 3159 Coney Island Avenue (Brighton Beach Avenue), Brighton Beach, Brooklyn; [phone].BEST DISHES Pickles; all vareniki and pelmeni; green borscht; stuffed cabbage; stew Glechik.
PRICE RANGE Appetizers, soups and dumplings, $1 to $9.50 (bags of frozen dumplings to go are $4.50 to $6.50); main courses, $7.50 to $20; side orders, $3. The restaurant is B.Y.O.B. CREDIT CARDS Cash only.
This is wonderful food and incredibly cheap.
There are also Russian night clubs in Brighton Beach that are also an experience, but it's been years since I went to one.

Answer 4

Eat the pizza! You simply cant go to New York without eating that delicious pizza! Take a walk in Central Park, go see the Statue of Liberty, just enjoy yourself!

Go see Ground Zero.

Answer 5

My personal favorite is to visit the Central Park, see the Statue of Liberty and gorging on delicious cuisines, especially New York’s pizzas.

Answer 6

Big Ben and the Brandenburg Gate
