My first trip to NYC, I paid for 3 things and they were all worth it: Empire State Building (lower observation deck), Central Park pedicab tour (booked and paid for in advance) and the City Sights hop on, hop off bus (also booked and paid for in advance). The bus offered 4 tours in addition to the hop on, hop off option. It also included a boat ride that went out by the Statute of Liberty and admission to the Museum of the City of NY which was basically an ode to Joel Grey (big waste of time). My second trip I did a bicycle tour of Central Park (also booked and paid for in advance) and the particular guide I had was phenomenal! I also went to the 911 Memorial, which I think every American should visit at least once, if possible. The rest of my trips were spent enjoying the architecture of the main Library, Grand Central, and the Waldorf Astoria, and spending an afternoon in Battery Park. All of which was free. The High Line was not even conceived of at that point, so I will be sure to do that the next time I make it up there. I'm also interested in seeing The Cloisters and visiting a couple of museums.

I was in NYC last week, for the second time since 2018 and I had looked at your ranking of observatories beforehand and then switched from Top of the Rock to Summit last minute - no regrets. I designed the trip to be equally exciting for me as a second timer and my partner who was flying to NYC for the first time. But my personal highlight was the proposal in Central Park under a random cherry tree.

I can't believe going inside the Statue of Liberty ranked so high! I went up back when I was in high school - I was thoroughly unimpressed. It was super slow going because you had to wait so long for all the people ahead of you to take a step, it was hot and it was boring. You can barely see out the little windows. Ellis Island was cool and it was cool to see the outside of the Statue of Liberty, but I definitely don't recommend climbing it.

I highly recommend taking a tour with a tour guide of the Brooklyn Bridge. People take it for granted, but they shouldn't. The history behind the bridge is fascinated. It isn't just an important history even in NYC, but for America. So, I did a tour around 2018, and the tour guide was excellent, but I can't remember the name. There are probably others though. Check the ratings.

Florida beaches are really nice and you’re like spoiled for choice. The thing is what do you want in a beach is the thing. Daytona is great for families just to get away for a day, Clearwater is nice for couples, cocoa is a fun all around beach, and new symerna is near Daytona but is quieter. South beach isn’t for me as the scene is about seeing and being seen. I suggest Daytona near the Pier as the boardwalk is there it’s a nice spot for having a little fun but the amusement parks were taken out due to massive safety concerns (a coaster crashed into the ground) It’s a little less fun but still fun.

As a BTTF fan i honestly thought the show was pretty garbage. THe musical numbers were not particularly memorable or even appreciated, they just heavily slowed down the pace of the show. The effects of the Delorean, now that's a different story. .. Amazing! Really well done, as was all the standard acting, non musical numbers. We also saw Harry Potter and that blew this out of the water... Fantastic. We did 19/20 things on your list on our trip... A very busy 10 days... I wasn't too impressed with the street vendor food and it felt really really over priced. I guess they spot a tourist easily :P I watched nealry all your stuff before we visited and i gotta say... great work... We stayed in NJ toooo :P NJ > NY.

I thought that, the sight is not gonna effect me too much. Boy, I was sooooo wrong. I cried a few times in the museum and it´s a emotional roller coster. If is the museum too much expensive for you or you not gonna go there any time soon, please check out the short film Boatlift. It´s a short film about Manhattan evacuation after the attacks.

Back To The Future was fun. Minor movie plot elements were altered to adapt it for the stage as well as make it more relevant and/or politically correct. IMHO the highlight was the actor who played George McFly He was worth price of admit 🙌

Lived there--too much for me after 5 years. People don't realize that walking on sidewalks is just like any city--drugstores, pizza joints (fold your pie), and miles of ugly, banal building facades. When the city looks neat on TV or whatever, it's usually aerials--which you really never see just walking around. Best way to visit? Do what natives do: find a favorite hood, adopt your fave coffee shop, settle in, and people-watch. Central Park is stunning (and free) and there always little pockets not mobbed in the summer. Avoid at all costs the Biblical-sized crowded areas; they'll ruin your trip, especially if you have introverts in your family. Enjoy and bon voyage!!!

7:45 that's not a replica. What makes it look fake is the fact that it lacks engines and a heat shield,which was not needed for this specific orbiter, since it's the prototype that was used for atmospheric flights.

Coney Island not for me other than the history as the first amusement rides and walkthroughs were created here. I would like to ride the Cyclone once but really I might go to Brighton instead to check out the Russian culture. Honestly I’ve seen the rides that Coney Island has and most of them aren’t great as a lot of them are prototypes that were never worked on again and are just left for the public to use. Even that dumb zampearla air coaster never got better as its ride is so uncomfortable. I would like to see the first dark ride site which was a tour of the moon walk-through that was connected to an out of business dairy company that gave out blocks of cheese at the end. The building was lost in one of the fires that hit Coney Island in the 1920s or 30s. The site is somewhere within the modern Luna park now. If my year is wrong then it’s likely I’m misremembering time frames as I have math dyslexia and I just have trouble with math period.

Great video about what there is to see in NYC as a visitor!!!! The 9/11 memorial is a must for educating the young and newcomers to the terrorists attacks on our nation in 2021! Everyone who was alive over 5-7 years old that day remembers where they were and what they were doing when it all happened!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Statue of Liberty island is essential! Times Square to see a Broadway play at night(be prepared for crowds)!

If you go to NYC and do NOT visit The Met, it doesn't count as going to NYC. One of the best museums on the planet. I can spend DAYS there and not see everything. Bare minimum if you're not into art, go see some of the most famous paintings and sculptures. The 9/11 Museum is HEAVY. I was driving to NYC on 9/11 and had to turn around and grew up in NJ so it was an extremely difficult day for me. I had to leave the museum before I got to the end because it made me so upset. Agreed on the smiling photos. I saw several people taking inappropriate photos there. Keep in mind there is almost certainly going to be someone that sees you that knew someone that died that day. Show some respect.
