TOP 10 THINGS TO SEE AND DO IN NYC
New York City. The Big Apple. It’s one of the greatest cities in the world. But with so much to do and experience, NYC is also one of the most overwhelming cities. That’s why, after living here for years, I’ve decided to use our experience to create our NYC Travel Guide!
10. GRAND CENTRAL TERMINAL
The beauty of this famous Beaux Arts building in New York City is not to be missed, whether you arrive by rail or not. Built between 1903 and 1931, Grand Central Terminal is stunning. Take a tour to learn of its history, including its near destruction and restoration.
9. LINCOLN CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS
Lincoln Center in NYC is the world’s largest performing arts center (16.3 acres / 66,000 m²) and home to 12 resident arts organizations, including the New York Philharmonic, Metropolitan Opera, The New York City Opera and New York City Ballet. Go watch a performance and also make time for a tour of the center itself.
8. ICE SKATING AT ROCKEFELLER CENTER
A unique and fun winter tradition is to take a whirl on the rink at Rockefeller Center, or just watch the skaters glide by while you sip on hot chocolate.
7. EMPIRE STATE BUILDING
The Empire State Building in a New York City icon. The classic Art Deco architecture of the 102-story Empire State Building makes this yet another icon of NYC. Go up to the 86th floor outside observatory for views of up to 80 miles (130 km). Be sure to bring your camera.
6. SHOPPING IN NEW YORK CITY
You can find just about anything in NYC, including discount designer clothes, items from all over the world and much more. New York City is a shopper’s paradise.
5. STATUE OF LIBERTY & ELLIS ISLAND
The symbol of political freedom and democracy is a must-see. Located on 12-acre (48,500 m²) Liberty Island in New York Harbor, the Statue of Liberty was a gift from the people of France. It was dedicated on October 28, 1886, and was designated a National Monument on October 15, 1924. Ellis Island was incorporated as part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument on May 11, 1965. Between 1892 and 1954, approximately 12 million steamship passengers entered the United States through the port of New York at Ellis Island.
4. THEATER IN NEW YORK CITY
There are 39 theaters in operation on Broadway today, most packed in a small area called the “Great White Way.” Any visit to the city should contain at least one theater show, whether it’s seeing an edgy new work or a classic piece. Look for discount theater tickets, which are often available.
3. MUSEUMS IN NYC
Where to begin? The world-class museums of NYC all clamor for your attention. To start, there’s the American Museum of Natural History, the Museum of Modern Art and, of course, the Metropolitan Museum of Art. A lifetime of visits would still leave you wanting to visit more.
2. TIMES SQUARE
This revitalized area of the city was once a place to avoid. No more! Now the heart of NYC is a safe, bustling hive of activity, with huge electronic billboards and lots to do. Visit Toys R Us, Lazer Park, MTV’s Total Request Live (TRL), Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum or the Hard Rock Cafe. Other nearby attractions include the Children’s Museum of Manhattan, the doll store American Girl Place and the Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum.
1. GREEN SPACES IN NEW YORK CITY
Contrary to what you might think, New York City is the greenest city in America. The 843-acre Central Park, the most famous park in the city, is actually only the 5th largest. Jog, walk, bike, in-line skate, horseback ride, ice skate, rent row boats, play basketball, softball, soccer, tennis, enjoy special events and festivals in the city’s 1,700 parks and playgrounds, or just kick back and people-watch.
HOW MUCH TO BUDGET FOR VISITING NYC
New York is expensive. Even budget travelers have a hard time visiting on a budget.
For example:
Museum entrance fees are around $25.
Food is expensive and it’s hard to spend less than $10 on a simple lunch. A decent dinner (especially with alcohol) can easily run $50/person.
The Subway is $2.75 per ride. Taxi and Uber rides can get expensive — especially from the airport.
Hotels are universally expensive (and small), hostels aren’t cheap, and Airbnb is largely illegal in the city (there are still a few rentals though but not a lot of choices). But you can still check out Airbnb to see what’s available.
A cheap hostel bed will be $35-$85/night (via Hostelworld).
A basic 2-star hotel will be at least $150/night (via Booking.com).
Broadway shows can easily cost $120+ for a ticket.
For backpacker-style travel (i.e. cheap hostel, basic meals, minimal sightseeing, etc), we recommend budgeting around $75-$100/day. You can probably spend less but this is a good ballpark figure.
For budget travel, we recommend budgeting $100-$150/day. A lot of this will come down to your accommodation. And one big meal or a few $15 cocktails can easily blow your budget.
For average travel, we recommend budgeting $150-$250/day. Again, your food and lodging will play the biggest impact of your budget.
HOW LONG TO VISIT NYC
Honestly, you’ll never run out of things to do in NYC — you’re much more likely to run out of money before you run out of things to do.
I think think four days is the absolute minimum amount of time you should spend in New York. You won’t be able to see much but you can see a handful of the highlights.
That said, a full week will allow you to see a few different neighborhoods and not feel like you’re rushing around at 1000 miles an hour.

THE GOOD AND THE BAD OF NYC
Like every city, New York has a lot of good things going for it and a few not-so-great things as well.
THE GOOD
Non-Stop Action: There is a reason they call it the city that never sleeps.
Food: NYC is one of the best “foodie” cities in the world. You can find just about everything you’re looking for.
The Sights: New York is packed with sights and attractions. You won’t be able to fit everything in and you won’t get bored.
Culture: Museum, shows, live music, fashion… it’s all here.
The Subway: Ok… Europe’s subways are generally better than New York’s but it is still pretty good.
The Shopping: You want it? Someone in NYC is selling it.
Central Park: NY’s massive Central Park makes escaping the insanity of the city easy.
THE BAD
The Prices: NYC is expensive. The food, the drinks, the hotels, the museums… It’s hard to stick to a reasonable budget.
The Number Of People: The sheer number of people in NYC gives the city energy. But it also makes everything crowded (i.e. the subway during rush hour, the shops, the streets, the train stations…). But it also makes getting a table at a popular restaurant a pain. So expect to adjust your expectations.
Lack Of Space: The hotels and restaurants are tiny so expect to be rubbing elbows with your neighbors.
Airports: They’re all pretty bad and they don’t make getting into the city very easy either.
WHEN TO VISIT NYC
New York City is buzzing year-round so you’ll never have a lack of things to do. That said, each season possesses negative and positive aspects.
SUMMER
New York can get quite hot in the summer so walking in the full sun or waiting on the hot subway platforms can be brutal.
That said, the city is fully alive during the summer. The parks are full, the sidewalk cafes are hopping, the people are out and about until late at night so it’s still an amazing time to visit.
SPRING/FALL
It’s hard to beat NYC in the spring or fall — the weather is comfortable, the city has plenty of energy, and the crowds aren’t too crazy. Accommodation prices aren’t much different than the peak summer times so you’re not really going to save much money.
Note: We also love NYC in the fall because the trees in Central Park and along the Hudson river begin to change colors. Truly beautiful.
WINTER
NYC is magical around Christmas with all the fun window displays and decorations. NYC does get cold and it gets a few days of snow every year. We highly recommend a pair of waterproof boots or shoes as the snow quickly turns into massive puddles of slush and muck.
The period of time between Christmas and spring is cold and grey — but prices are at their lowest for accommodation.
TIMES SQUARE, MIDTOWN, & HELL’S KITCHEN
Ask any New Yorker and they’ll gladly tell you about their hate of Times Square and Midtown. Why? Because Times Square is where all the tourists are and many New Yorkers work in one of Midtown’s skyscrapers (so they’re not a fan of being there).
It’s true that this part of the city doesn’t have much “soul” since it’s just a bunch of tall buildings. That said, the area has a ton of hotels so this is where you’ll find most of the “affordable” hotels in Manhattan.
But this area is also home to many of NYC’s most iconic sights like Times Square, Broadway, The Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, and lots of shopping.
This area is also centrally located and has excellent subway connections so you can easily visit Uptown/Central Park or head to downtown Manhattan.
Note: Directly to the west of Time’s Square/Theatre District is the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood. This area has long been a hub of gay culture and there are multiple bars, restaurants, and other lively nightlife options.
GREENWICH VILLAGE
Greenwich Village is one of the most loved and most iconic parts of NYC (this is where Friends took place). It was the center of the 1960’s counterculture movement. It’s full of bars, restaurants, music venues, cafes, coffee shops, the iconic Washington Square Park, and peaceful tree-lined streets. The area has a youthful vibe as its home to New York University. It’s an amazing place to explore.
It’s also one of the most expensive parts of New York and you’ll mainly find expensive boutique hotels here.
SOHO
SoHo, which stands for South Of Houston, is another lively and must-visit part of downtown NYC. SoHo is a very trendy area so you’ll find plenty of trendy restaurants, bars, clubs, art galleries, and plenty of nightlife options.
SoHo is also home to the best shopping in NYC so you’ll find everything from designer boutiques to international chain stores.
Don’t have a ton of cash to drop? No worries! SoHo has a ton of atmosphere thanks to its cobblestone streets and cast-iron-facades. You’ll love simply walking around.
There are a lot of trendy hotels in SoHo so you’ll pay a premium to stay here.
CHELSEA
Chelsea has a mix of both midtown and downtown vibes — many people consider that “downtown” officially begins at Chelsea’s southern border.
Chelsea is home to many popular sights and attractions — including Chelsea Market (a food hall with great food options), the High Line (a park/walking trail built on former railroad tracks), the iconic Flatiron Building, the new Hudson Yards, and Madison Square Garden. There is also plenty of bars, restaurants, cafes, and shopping in the area.
Chelsea has a decent amount of hotels so you can sometimes find cheaper prices here than in downtown.
TRIBECA
TriBeCa was once an industrial no-man’s-land but all the area’s industrial buildings were turned into huge ultra-expensive lofts (i.e. Taylor Swift and Beyonce live here). On that note, the neighborhood is full of very expensive bars, restaurants, and boutique shopping.
You’ll mostly find luxury boutique hotels in the neighborhood.
EAST VILLAGE
The East Village is like the West Village’s less-refined, laid-back, and slightly gritty little brother. It’s a popular and hip nightlife spot that skews towards the younger crowd. It’s full of vintage shops, tattoo parlors, dive bars, music venues, and other trendy spots.
The East Village’s nightlife means it stays loud and happening well into the early hours of the morning so this might not be the best place for light sleepers.
LOWER EAST SIDE
The Lower East Side has a long history of being rough around the edges and home to NYC’s tenement houses. While these days it’s fully gentrified, it still has a gritty feel. The Lower East Side has a youthful vibe as its lower rent prices and tiny apartments attract many younger Manhattanites. On that note, you’ll find plenty of bars, live music, and rowdy nightlife in the area.
In the 19th century, the Lower East Side was home to a massive Jewish population so, while most of them have long moved out of the neighborhood, these days you can find multiple excellent Jewish delis.
LITTLE ITALY
These days Little Italy keeps getting smaller as neighboring Chinatown slowing expands. That said, you can still find a handful of nice Italian restaurants and loads of ambiance in the area so it continues to be a very popular place to visit.
CHINATOWN
Chinatown is a densely populated neighborhood that buzzes with energy all day. It’s an excellent place to visit for delicious Chinese and Southeast Asian food and, knockoff purses, and cheap souvenirs.
Chinatown is one of the cheapest areas in Manhattan and it’s home to many budget hotels — but some can be a bit sketchy so read the reviews.
FINANCIAL DISTRICT
The Financial District is home to Wall Street and many of the city’s largest skyscrapers. The area buzzes all day with highly paid business people and clears out at night. Many of the bars and restaurants cater to well-paid business people so it isn’t a very budget-friendly place. That said, you might be able to score a decent deal on a hotel as this isn’t one of the city’s more “desirable” places to stay.
UPPER WEST SIDE
The Upper West Side is an oasis of calm compared to downtown and midtown Manhattan. It’s a largely residential neighborhood and it has a lively but laid-back vibe. And you’re never more than about a 10-minute walk to Central Park or the Hudson River.
Many people consider the Upper West Side to be classic New York thanks to its many beautiful brownstones on quiet side tree-lined streets. The neighborhood is also home to the American Museum of Natural History, the Metropolitan Opera and New York City Ballet.
The area doesn’t have a ton of hotels but there are a handful of options.
UPPER EAST SIDE
The Upper East Side is a quiet residential neighborhood where New York’s “old money” resides. Many of its residents tend to be older, there aren’t a ton of dining options, and there isn’t much in terms of nightlife. But you’ll find a lot of high-end shopping here.
The area is also home to many of the city’s premier museums like the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Frick Collection, Neue Galerie, and El Museo del Barrio.
Hotel options are fairly limited except for a handful of high-end spots so not many visitors stay here.

NEW YORK’S BEST SIGHTS & ATTRACTIONS
There is never a shortage of things to do in NYC so I apologize now because this section will be extremely long.
Obviously, you can’t see everything NYC has to offer so we suggest picking your favorites. Most importantly, don’t worry if you can’t “see” everything that’s on your list because you’ll run yourself ragged if you try.
VIEWS FROM THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING, ROCKEFELLER CENTER, OR ONE WORLD OBSERVATORY
The most iconic views of NYC are found at the top of NYC’s tallest buildings — notably the Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, or One World Observatory. Tickets for all three are expensive so we suggest only visiting one if you’re on a budget.
Personally, I prefer the views from Rockefeller Center because it has views of Central Park and you can views of midtown and downtown — including amazing views from the Empire State Building.
One World Observatory is the tallest building in NYC and it’s located at the southern tip of Manhattan so you get a different POV than you get from Rockefeller Center or the Empire State Building.
Tickets to the observation decks start around $35-$40/each but you can pay a little extra to buy a double ticket that lets you visit during the day and at night. You have to book a timeslot so purchase online before you arrive (in most cases).
THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART (MET)
The Met is one of the greatest museums in the world and it’s the largest art museum in the United States. Its collection covers more than 5000 years from across the world — from Egyptian mummies to Impressionist paintings to modern art and more.
If you’re even remotely into museums then the Met is a must-visit.
Admission: $25 (it’s pay-what-you-wish for NY Residents)
MUSEUM OF MODERN ART (MOMA)
The MoMA is one of the greatest modern art museums in the world and it displays many of the world’s most iconic modern and contemporary art. Some of the highlights include Monet’s Water Lilies, van Gogh’s The Starry Night, Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, Matisse’s Dance, and Warhol’s Campbell’s Soup Cans.
Admission: $25
Free entry every Friday 4-8 pm
CENTRAL PARK
Central Park is arguably the greatest urban park in the world and it’s a huge part of what makes NYC such an amazing city. The park is massive so give yourself a few hours to explore the park. In fact, we could probably wite a standalone guide just for Central Park as there is so much to see/do there.
We suggest entering Central Park around 72 Street as that puts you into the heart of the park. Alternatively, you can also simply start near the southern part of the park (@ 59th Street) and stroll north as you see fit.
PARK HIGHLIGHTS
Picnic In The Sheep Meadow: The Sheep Meadow is a huge open field near the southern part of the park. It’s a great place to relax and enjoy the NYC skyline. Tip: There is a Whole Foods at the edge of the park at Colombus Circle where you can pick up picnic stuff (See On Google Maps)
Rent A Rowboat from the Loeb Boathouse: Boats are $15 per hour (cash only), $4.00 for each additional 15 minutes with a $20 cash deposit. Visit Website
Explore By Bike: Central Park has an excellent bike path that snakes through the entire park so exploring by bike is a relaxing way to experience the park! Here is a list of the multiple bike rental companies.
See Shakespeare in the Park: Tickets are tough to get. You’ll have to line-up super early to score tickets (the line is already long at 7 am) or try your luck in the online lottery. Visit Website
Get Lost: There are lots of hidden nooks and crannies throughout the park so just start wandering and see where you end up.
Central Park Zoo: Yes, there is even a small zoo in Central Park. Visit Website
Take A (Free) Walking Tour: The park even puts on free walking tours. Of course, there are plenty of other paid walking tours as well.
WALK THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE
The Brooklyn Bridge is one of New York’s most iconic sights and it’s a great spot to admire the NYC skyline. The bridge is just over a mile long from end to end.
WALK THE HIGH LINE AND CHOW DOWN AT CHELSEA MARKET
The Highline and Chelsea Market
Two of NYC’s most popular attractions are the High Line and Chelsea Market — they Highline passes Chelsea Market so makes sense to combine your visit.
The Highline is a 1.5-mile long urban park/walkway that was built on former elevated railroad parks.
Chelsea Market is an old industrial building that was converted into a food hall. It’s an excellent place to grab a quick lunch or dinner. Do a circle to see what looks good but I highly recommend Adobada taco at Los Tacos No. 1 and Num Pang for tasty Cambodian sandwiches.
SEE A BROADWAY PLAY
NYC is the epicenter of theatre so there are always multiple Broadway shows worth checking out. But the tickets aren’t cheap and tickets for popular shows can be hard to get.
If your schedule is flexible, we recommend checking out one of the TKTS discount booths as they sell same-day theatre tickets for up to 50% off. The lines can get long so we recommend getting there early so you don’t have to wait more than an hour in line. You can also book tickets and get behind-the-scenes tours via Get Your Guide.
GRAND CENTRAL STATION
New York’s main train station is Grand Central Station and it’s an architectural sight to behold. It’s fun to look at the building and to experience the chaos.
9/11 MEMORIAL AND ONE WORLD TRADE CENTER
The 9/11 Memorial is an extremely sobering tribute to the tragedy of 9/11. It is an excellent museum but prepare yourself for a lot of emotions.
If you don’t want to visit the museum, we still recommend seeing the Freedom Tower and ground zero.
Admission: $26 (pre-book your tickets online)
GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM
Designed by famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright, this building is one of the most recognizable museums in New York. While the museum has a permeate collection, the main draw is their rotating temporary exhibits — which means it can be a hit or miss as it depends what’s on display.
Admission: $25
Saturday from 5–8 pm is Pay-What-You-Wish but we suggest arriving early to beat the line.
TAKE A HOP-ON-HOP-OFF BUS TOUR
NYC is a big city so one of the best ways to see a lot in a little amount of time is via an open-top bus tour. Tickets typically cost $50 for 24-hours but you can pay a little more for 48-hour tickets. Book your tickets here.
TIMES SQUARE
I may be jaded but even I think that you should see Times Square if you’ve never experienced it before. Should you go back? Ehh.
Anyways, there will be way fewer people if you visit late at night or early morning — the rest of the day will be packed with people. We prefer visiting after 10 pm so you get the full bright lights experience.
WHITNEY MUSEUM OF AMERICAN ART
The Whitney doesn’t get nearly as much attention as other museums but it’s quietly one of the best museums in NYC. The Whitney focuses on 20th- and 21st-century American art and they get some really nice temporary exhibits — the last few exhibits I’ve seen has been very good.
Admission: $25
Pay-What-You-Wish on Fridays, 7–9:30 pm.
TENEMENT MUSEUM
https://www.instagram.com/p/BvO4WDxAKGx/
The Tenement Museum in the Lower East Side is another well-loved museum that not many visitors know about. The museum is housed in two former tenement buildings and it tells the story of the 15,000 people poor immigrants who moved to NYC and lived in these terrible conditions. They also offer walking tours of the neighborhood.
Admission: $27+
TAKE A SPECIALIZED TOUR
One great way to dive deep into a city is to take a specialized tour. Below are some fun options:
Street Art Tour
3-Hour Food and History Tour
2-Hour Cupcake Tour of Greenwich Village
Wall Street Tour
SEE SOME COMEDY
https://www.instagram.com/p/BzOVzYony1j/
There are a ton of places to catch a comedy show in NYC — from standup and sketch to everything in between. I'm a big fans of standup and you might even get lucky and see a major comedian working on their latest set.
Check out this guide from Time Out to see what kinds of comedy shows are going on.
CATCH SOME JAZZ
You can still catch a lot of excellent jazz in NYC. We love Bill’s Place in Harlem (a tiny jazz spot in the basement of an old brownstone with about 15 seats). Here is a guide to jazz in NYC for more info about other clubs.
BROOKLYN HEIGHTS PROMENADE & THE BROOKLYN HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD
For some of the best views of the Lower Manhattan skyline and the Brooklyn Bridge, head over to the beautiful tree-lined Brooklyn Heights Promenade. This is a favorite spot to visit on a nice day and it’s a great spot to catch the sunset.
Furthermore, spend some time walking around the Brooklyn Heights neighborhood as it’s full of beautiful old townhouses.
THE MET CLOISTERS AND FORT TRYON PARK
https://www.instagram.com/p/B0LuJfPh3tA/
The Cloisters, which is part of the Met, is one of these secret places that locals take out-of-towners when they want to escape the craziness of the city. The Cloisters is an old French monastery that was disassembled, shipped over, and rebuilt in northern Manhattan. Inside you’ll find European medieval architecture, sculpture and decorative arts. They also sometimes host temporary exhibits.
The Cloisters is located inside Fort Tryon Park — which is an excellent small park that has amazing views of the Hudson River and beautiful gardens.
Admission: $25 (pay-what-you-wish for NY residents)
Note: General admission tickets include exhibitions and are valid for three consecutive days at The Met Fifth Avenue, The Met Breuer, and The Met Cloisters.
UNION SQUARE
Union Square is a lively square in downtown Manhattan that hosts a long-running farmers market. There are also artists and street performers around the plaza doing their thing so it’s a nice spot for people watching.
While this isn’t a “must-see” destination, it’s a nice place to walk around if you’re in the area.
WASHINGTON SQUARE PARK
Located in Greenwich Village, Washington Square Park is one of the most iconic parks in New York. It’s famous for its huge arch, fountain, and the interesting people who are drawn to the park (i.e. the people-watching is excellent).
BRONX ZOO
https://www.instagram.com/p/BkdhAYbnQr_/
If you’re up for the long subway ride, we suggest checking out the Bronx Zoo for a nice way to connect with nature in one of the largest zoos in the US.
Admission: Starts at $40
Free Wednesday (but it gets very busy)
STRAND BOOKSTORE
https://www.instagram.com/p/BzDS4xFAyvF/
The Strand Bookstore is New York’s most famous independent bookstore and they boast of having 18 miles of books — which is around 2.5 million books. So yeah, the place is huge and a pilgrimage for bookworms.
STATEN ISLAND FERRY
https://www.instagram.com/p/B0RoscvJQGA/
Another no-so-secret free thing to do in NYC is taking the Staten Island Ferry as it passes directly by the Statue of Liberty and it offers great views of the NYC skyline. It’s operated by the New York City Department of Transportation and the ride is absolutely free.
The ride between lower Manhattan and Staten Island takes about 25-minutes each way so it’s one of the best freebies in town. It runs 24 hours a day and there are rides about every 30-minutes (more frequently during rush hour).
STATUE OF LIBERTY
You can’t think of New York without picturing the towering Statue of Liberty — which is why it’s one of the most popular tourist attractions in NYC.
Note: You have to pass through “airport-style” security before boarding the ferry to the Ellis Island so expect to spend an extra 30-minutes for that.
Admission: There are multiple ticket options but the basic ticket is $18.50.
The only official ticket reseller is Statue Cruises so it is highly recommended to buy your tickets online first and pick them up onsite — otherwise, you’ll wait in a huge line.
FLATIRON BUILDING AND MADISON SQUARE PARK
The Flatiron Building is one of the most recognizable buildings in NYC so it makes an excellent Instagram opportunity. While you’re there, stop by Madison Square Park for a bit of relaxation.
ST. PATRICK’S CATHEDRAL
St. Patrick’s Cathedral is a breathtaking Neo-Gothic-style Roman Catholic cathedral that was built in 1879 and is now situated amongst the modern buildings of midtown Manhattan. It’s a peaceful place to stop in and rest your tired feet.
AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY
Another world-class museum in NYC is the American Museum of Natural History — in fact, it’s is the largest natural history museum in the world. It has tons of animals, dinosaurs, and a Planetarium. This is an excellent place for kids as well.
Admission: $23 (pay-what-you-wish for NY residents)
