Things to do in New York City

Central Park & museums

Walk the park and hit the Met or MoMA; the Met is pay-what-you-wish for NY residents.

Observation deck (Top of the Rock / Edge)

Better views than the Empire because it's in the skyline you're seeing.

Statue of Liberty

The free Staten Island Ferry passes close by at no cost.

A Broadway show

Best time to go. April–June and September–November have the best weather. December is magical but cold and pricey.
Local tip 🧭 Get a MetroCard or tap contactless (OMNY) on the subway: cabs cost 5–10x more and are slower at rush hour.
