What to do in NYC?

Question

I am going to NYC this weekend...from thursday untill a little bit of sunday. What are some of the things that I just have to do while I'm there?...preferably some things that dont cost a whole lot of money.

Answer 1

Hang out Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village and listen to the comedians, guitar pickers, and performers in general. Also follow an independent film crew around the park.

Answer 2

So nobody will necessarily tell you this, but you really don't NEED to go to Ellis Island and on top of the Statue of Liberty. The lines are ridiculously long, especially during this season, and it is expensive and you will waste an entire day on just this one activity. Instead, go to Ground Zero and Wall Street, from there walk in Battery Park and take the Staten Island Ferry. The Ferry costs 50 cents and goes right under the Statue of Liberty, so you can get great pictures from up close! Just don't get off when it gets to Staten Island, and ride back on the same ferry. Cheap and fun!

Also, I would suggest Times Square and Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum (which is in Times Square). It is a whole lot of fun, and different from other cities. I wouldn't waste time on a Broadway play, either, since you don't have too much of it.

Have fun!

Answer 3

Take the ferry to the Statue of Liberty go up to the crown--I think the crown is now open---you get a beautiful view of NY/NJ from there... Also the Empire state building IF THE WEATHER IS CLEAR is a wonderful sight to see from the observation deck... ...go to Macy's and Times Square--34th Street and 42nd street (BROADWAY)... go online to see what Broadway shows have tickets available so you can see a show at night..... Go to the Hayden Planitarium, St. Patricks Cathedral, China Town, Yankee Stadium--but no games are played there this weekend...but you CAN take an inside tour... go to Battery Park or Central Park for a carriage ride view of the park... there's the Museum . Plenty of things to do... hop a subway over to Astoria Park and go to SHEA Stadium for a METS GAME---since the Yankees aren't in town, the Mets WILL be...... go to Penn Central Station...

Answer 10

for pretty girls, Bar in New york is free. guys just come over to buy you drinks and as you out. New Yorkers are much direct than most other states. so, feel free to join to without them.

Times Square, Central park area, there is Wall street and other things you can find, and Status of Libery. so much you can do, and it is up to you what you want to choose. you can go to NYU as well. it is in downtown.
