When I went I did the empire state building in the morning to see the city in the daylight and the top of the rock at night to get pictures of empire state and the city lit up.

Times Square 2x might be excessive. Also what's with Bubba Gump? They're a seafood chain all over the U.S. Is this bait?

Take a ride on the Staten Island ferry or some other boat just to get out in the harbor and catch some views of Manhattan. If you’re in lower Manhattan the free Museum of the American Indian is an oasis from all the tourist hustles around Battery Park. It’s in a spectacular old customs house and even if you’re not into native stuff the building is worth it. Nearby Battery Park City is one if the few places in Manhattan where there isn’t a highway by the water and the esplanade is a great walk, with lots of pocket parks, artwork and memorials. Take a subway out to Coney Island now that the weather is warmer, Get out of Manhattan and see the rest of the city, even if it’s just a short hop to Williamsburg.

go to one of NYC's famous gay sex parties not gay? don't worry, there's popular clubs that do tranny nights on tuesdays, fridays, and most saturdays or you could go to one of those jerk off ones where the guys just jerk it on their lunch breaks

Herald Square Macy's is cool but aside from the parade and all the decorations when it's Christmastime it's still a Macy's. Eataly is a chain, I'd recommend replacing it with something NY-specific. Why go to the 9/11 memorial twice? Horse carriages might not be out depending on when you go, if it's too hot it's considered animal abuse to "operate" them.Obviously you'll have a lot of free time, so here's some things I'd recommend: >Museums: MET, MOMA, the New Museum (now that it's reopened), Guggenheim, MoRUS, Museum of the Moving Image, City Reliquary Museum >Neighborhoods: My favorites in Manhattan are East and West Village. Different vibes but they both have a lot of character. There's also Chinatown and the Upper West Side. Avoid Midtown, it looks like shit. In Brooklyn there's Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Prospect Heights, and Coney Island. Greenwood Cemetery is also worth checking out, it's what inspired Central Park. Queens is my favorite borough, definitely check out Flushing if nothing else for great Chinese food. Forest Hills and Kew Gardens Hills are very quaint, and Jamaica has sovl. Staten is basically New Jersey but Historic Richmond Town is kind of nice, if you really want to hit the island. And then the Bronx I have not been to. >Movie Theaters: NYC is one of the best cities in the country for film. My favorite is the IFC in West Village, but there's also the Walter Reade Theater and the Film Forum. East Village Angelika is cool, too, for the building. Metrograph has a great selection but the seats are pure ass-pain. >Shops: The Strand is the biggest bookstore in the country by volume, I believe. It's open til 9pm so I usually end up there when I'm in the city. Night Owl Video in Williamsburg is a new video store with a great selection. Search and Destroy in EV is a legacy punk shop that kicks you out if you take photos of anything. It's cooler on the outside than inside.Out of character space so that's all you're getting.

Ngl the food choices are mid and very touristy unless you’re from Alaska or something. Go on google maps and search the kinda food you like in various neighborhoods you’ll be near at the time. The only reason actual New Yorkers visit Times Square is to mug white dumb white people like you and shoot heroinYou will got mugged and raped by niggers at 125th street. That’s Harlem, nigga. if they see a white boy tourist like you with all your luggage clueless where tf he is they’re gonna crack your ass open, clean it out and glue it shut

i live in queens. if i were visiting NYC for one week here's what i would do staying in line with what you generally want to doMonday - walk the brooklyn bridge, 9/11 memorial, WTC museum and viewing floor, statue of liberty tour, bull photo (fucking tourist), US customs house and go inside if its a good exhibit, and get a feel for the financial district and all the old new york alleyways. find a good steakhouse without going to far, there's some great ones around there. if you like Ghostbusters, check out their firehouseTuesday - take a train to hudson yards and go up to the edge. afterwards walk the high line south, then check out all the piers and parks on the hudson. get pizza or sandwiches at Mama Too's or cheeseburgers at Hamburger America, hang out in washington square park, the later the better, it turns into a party after 9pm. you're close enough to get dinner in little italy or chinatown if you walk a bit fartherWednesday - take a train to brooklyn, check out prospect park, williamsburg, coney island, find some good places to eat. this day will be kind of light but it would be a great day to find a good happy hour and get drunk with the localsThursday - start at 5th and 59th and explore central park all day. go to the zoo, ride the carousel, go in belvedere castle, walk around the reservoir, get a horse carraige ride, get lost in the ramble, find strawberry fields and ignore the shitty guitarists, go under every arch you can find. if you get to the north side you can explore harlem a little bit, its really not that bad. the apollo theater is pretty run down though.Friday - start at union square, walk up broadway to herald square, check out macys, do the empire state building, explore midtown a bit, then head up 5th avenue to check out the NY public library, then head east to check out grand central and the chrysler building. plenty of amazing places to eat around there. then head back west to times square, go enjoy your rave

OP your post reads like bait. Lots of stupid slop and bad restaurants, plus a bunch of shit that's far apart if you're not trying to run through it. Why go to Times Square thrice? Why twice at Wall Street and Ground Zero? How much of a pleb are you that you're not listing a single museum or truly historical place?

I live in NYC and 90 percent of this shit mentioned in this thread is boring as fuckAnd honestly unless you like getting drunk on overpriced cocktails, going to overpriced cafes, or paying for overpriced dinners at self-masturbatory "concept" restaurants that have shittier and shittier service every single year, there's not a whole lot to actually do in NYC.The only thing I really enjoy that's worth recommending (besides obscure local places in neighborhoods you won't go) that doesn't feel like I'm getting milked/scammed is going to Flushing and enjoying cheap and delicious chinese food. There's roosevelt island which is nice for a relaxing park day. Other than that this city is pretty gay unless you're loaded.

New yorker here that is the worst itinerary truly just responding in case you’re not trolling.Go to Times Square but don’t go to Bubba Gump rip off, get street food chicken and rice located around the starting and stopping area, maybe some cheese cake from Juniors. Skip katz too, 30+ $ they’re laughing at you and it’s a brick of meat.I hope you’re taking the official city boat to the island for 10 and not paying 20 for a tour from some black holding a sign that doesn’t even stop at the island. Battery park still has construction now blocking the view but that’s where you board the boat to go officially.Do not take the carriage bikes it’s 18/ minute on a small sign and they’ll charge you 400 at the end.Skip the memorial don’t give lucky Larry one red cent!What to do instead? Anything else! You’re trolling

I think I need a reality check or at least an outside perspective. I'm a sperg on a road trip which I began spontaneously after a change in life circumstance. This is out of character for me as I prefer strict routines and the same tendies every day, but I'm slowly adapting. I've been where I am now too long and I had planned to be in NY state for Independence Day and to check out NYC after that, but I ended up on almost the other side of the country due to a "situationship" I got into on the road. I now have no real reason to go to NYC from where I am other than because I have some vague ideas about how it'll be and I've never experienced anything like it. My impression of it comes from movies and TV and in my head being there is like the cartoon Hey Arnold which I saw as a kid (although in pretty sure that was based on Philadelphia or Boston) or something like that.What I'm getting at is: What's day to day life actually like if I pick a good spot? My goal is just to find a good short term rental, stash my car, and sample the lifestyle for a couple of weeks, and to stay longer if I really enjoy it. I want to bomb down main on my fixie and pop into a real happening cafe to order a coffee-microbrew blend at 3 pm on a Wednesday with my fellow hip millennials. Not really, I actually just want to see what it's like to live in a place where I can take the train everywhere and bike between that and my final destination. I don't care about tourist shit at all and this is essentially about having the experience and seeing if I would want to move there long term (doubt it but don't want to dismiss it without trying). One thing to consider is that being a sperg means I look like a gigatourist to normies no matter where I am.What am I in for? More importantly is it worth driving thousands of miles on a whim to go there or am I going to get there and realize I hate it? I've been to a handful of cities with around 300k people but never anything even vaguely like NYC.

I visited New York 2 years ago and stayed in midtown, just south of Central Park. What I didn’t like about the area was the large amount of drug addicted homeless people and feral blacks loitering around. I’m planning on returning later this year and I got a good deal on a hotel in the financial district. Is there a noticeably lower concentration of such characters in that area? I’m guessing yes, but it would be good to hear from someone in the know.

I live in the city. Here is all the "popular" stuff worth doing in the city.>Visit times square Go there, get your photo, dont interact with ANYBODY and FUCKING LEAVE INSTANTLY. Its "iconic" in the sense that its synonymous with the city and an "iconic visual" but thats it. Do not stay there longer than you need and do not EAT anywhere in a 10 block radius of it >The Met The best thing in NYC without a doubt. Its one of the top 5 museums in the world. You couldnt finish it in a day even if you tried >Brooklyn Bridge/City hall/Fidi See the bull. See twin tower holes. Walk to city hall. See the bridge Walk over it. Hang out in dumbo. Eat some over priced food thats pretty good >Statue of liberty Either go to the statue of liberty (waste of time imo) or just get on the free staten island ferry and go back and forth. Step on the outside sections of the ship and get a good view. Do not just stand near the windowed sections. >Soho Isnt what it used to be at all. Very commercialized but if you are with a woman she will want to see it and shop here. There is good food here and alot of good pizza places. Katz is overrated. Its not bad but go there once to satiate your primal need to visit popular things.>Central park Amazing park has amazing views. Head to the great lawn and go on the end of it near the north side for a cool view of the city. Maybe go see a broadway show after or something.>Bonus: Go on the N/Q/R train torwards barclays center for a view of the city over the bridges at night.Thats it. That should be your NYC itinerary. Food spots that are popular on tiktok are NOT popular to anyone who lives in NYC. People who eat at restaurants located in a 10 block radius of times square are fucking STUPID

I'm going to New York for 10 days soon. Is it worth going to Chicago for a few days within that if I've barely been anywhere in the USA before? Or shall I just max out my time in New York?I went to Washington DC a few years ago and the city architecture and walking the streets were very boring, apart from the national mall, and I ran out of really interesting things to see after 4 days.There's definitely a lot to see in NYC but I don't know if walking around it will be a pleasure like a European city or if Chicago is just Temu New York.
