1) the metropolitan, moma, and guggenheim have wonderful works of art and some cool exibits like an egyptian moat, 2) the museum of natural history also has some nice things3)skating at rockafeller center or bryant park4) a ferry ride on the staten island ferry for free, or circleline or the ellis island museum for a guided tour with views of the skyline5)the christmas displays will still be up and those are wonderful to see if you walk along 5th ave6) parks such as central park and union square are great for walking in7)chinatown is good for some accessories and chinese food8) pizza and bagels9) one of the many tourist spots around times square, including broadway shows, a wax museum, and so much more10)and the empire state buildingtheres way more to do as well, but those are just 10 ideas.
New York is a fun, vibrant city for people of all ages. I first started going into the city with my parents when I was a kid. Here s my list of top ten things to do:1) See a Broadway show. There are many current productions that appeal to young teens. For the fun of it, buy your tickets at TKTS in Times Square and save half off that day s shows. 2) Walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. Take the subway into Brooklyn, get out at the first stop, then walk back into Manhattan. The views are spectacular and there are interesting historical plaques along the way that tell the history of the bridge.3) Eat sidewalk cuisine, including pretzels, from a pushcart on Fifth Avenue.4) Go to the Cloisters, a really cool museum in Fort Tryon Park at the upper end of Manhattan. It is like a cool medieval European monastery.5) Eat a huge slab of cheesecake at the Roxy Deli in Times Square.6) Go to the top of the Empire State Building for a spectacular view of Manhattan and beyond.7) Eat dinner at Carmine s on 42nd Street. The veal scallopini is to die for.8) Go to the Museum of Natural History on Central Park and marvel at the dinosaur bones.9) Ride the Staten Island Ferry over and back. It s free and the views are wonderful.10) Go to the United Nations and tour it. Learn about this important world body and why it is still relevant after more than 60 years. Shop in the UN s cool international gift shops.Other fun things include a horse and buggy ride through Central Park, ice skating at Rockefeller Center, a backstage tour at Radio City Music Hall, afternoon tea at the Plaza Hotel, and the NBC Studios Tour.Above all, have fun!
We just got back from NYC about 3 months ago and I m definitely going back! We were there for 3 days, but I think 5 days should be enough. Get the 3+ day NewYorkPass, it will save you a lot of money! http://www.newyorkpass.com/ Also, buy your NYC T-shirt ( 5 for 10.99) at Times SQ.Around Empire State building, they have a lot of cheap NYc sounviers. Hotel wise, book early. We stayed in Chinatown (Hotel 91) but it s clean and fairly cheap- though you can heard the subway at night, it didn;t bother us. Becareful of big and cheap hotel, I heard it s not clean,, The last thing you want is to bring home some bed bugs.Broadway Show: If Wicked was too expensive ( it was for us), so we went to see Fuerza Bruta , we got a coupon online and pay half price =) so check online! .. Let put it this way, we will never forget this show.. we had a blast!http://www.broadwaybox.com/ ? for cheap shows! Ps. We finally watched Wicked�� In San Francisco, it was great!
Go on the bus tours, and cruises. They are fun. Try these tours..http://www.newyorksightseeing.comhttp://www.citysightsny.com
