Question

Any suggestions on great places to go in NYC?

Answer 1

you have the obvious sites of Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, Central Park and Times Square. i Say focus on these sites. St Patricks catherdral. Madison Square garden, Yankee Stadium, Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island (even though they belong to New jersey) Rockefeller Center, Lincoln Center, Little Italy, Brooklyn Bridge the list goes on...



take a subway

Ground Zero

Statue of Liberty

Radio City Music Hall

Empire State Building

NY Stock Exchange

Yankee Stadium

Museum of Modern Art

Museum of Natural History

Museum of New York City

see a Broadway play with half price tickets the day of the play

find an ethnic restaurant you have never tried before

So allow me to list great places..

Lower Manhattan: World Trade Center site; boat to Ellis Island and Statue of Liberty (same boat, one price, get off and explore, take later boat onward, start early as LONG lines form); Fraunces Tavern; Chinatown (eat at Wo Hop on Mott Street); South Street Seaport; Chase Bank Money Museum.

Midtown: Empire State Building; theater district (great restaurants just uptown of theaters); window shopping along Fifth Avenue 47th to 58 Streets; United Nations (the gift shop is a great place for souvenirs); FAO Schwartz (the apotheosis of toy stores, and includes an ice cream parlor).

Uptown: Central Park and zoo; Metropolitan Museum of Art; Museum of Natural History/Rose Space Center.

Way Uptown: The Cloisters (most beautiful spot in NYC, has the unicorn tapestries and other pre-Renaissance art, out door gardens, and music); Dyckman House (British army HQ in the Revolution).

Bronx: Zoo; botanical gardens

Brooklyn: Aquarium; Coney Island

Queens: Bowne House (stop on the Underground Railroad, good restaurants nearby); Flushing Hall of Science and the adjoining zoo with an aviary where you walk at tree top level to see the birds).

Staten Island: view the harbor from the ferry, then on the SI side take a bus to Richmondtown Restoration (restored colonial village, free admission); Marchais Tibetan Museum (only Tibetan Museum in the entire USA); Conference House, site of the only peace conference between American (Ben Franklin & John Adams) and the British during the Revolution. While on SI eat at the Bay Street Bistro, really delicious Mongolian food!



If you want the exact locations of some places to eat,let me list it over here

The choices are so great that it is almost overwhelming. I've lived here so long and there are still restaurants that I've intended to get to and just haven't had the time.

Here are a couple of suggestions that will give you a feel for some of the types of places here.



*Big Nicks is a must. It is a real NYC joint. An Upper West Side institution. Tiny space but a huge menu and amazing food. Cheap prices.

*Philip Marie in the West Village. The Brunch is amazing.

*Mary Ann's in the East Village for Mexican.

*Balduccis for Indian Cuisine (several locations, my favorite on 6th Ave in the Village)

*Angels Restorante - Upper East side for Italian at 1135 1st Ave, New York, NY

4.1 mi NE - [phone]

*Little Poland - Great Polish food.

Outside of Manhattan try 5th Avenue in Park Slope or Smith Street in Cobble Hill, both in Brooklyn.



*Desert oh yea, Juniors for Cheese Cake or Veniero's for everything else.



get a copy of the Village Voice - free on the street



get a good guide book - there is no end of things you can do in New York....

Answer 2

oh it is tons of fun. here are a few things to do/try:



try to get out and see a broadway musical. do some research. it is hard to recommend anything not knowing your tastes. i say avenue Q is good all around for people who like leud comedy and not so much of the singing and dancing. tickets are around 50 and upwards.



you cant skip central park. a must see on a nice warm day (which it should be).



a cool restaurnt by central park on the uptown side, is a horror themed restaurant. its a bit touristy but so fun. you HAVE to go. they have amazing pizza and its fun to watch the little show things going on. the servers are actors and they are fun to talk too.im pretty sure it is called JACKEL and HYDE.



if you want to go to a ritzy dinner, the RAINBOW ROOM is the one of the best. it'll cost you but the view is killer.



i think the empire state building is over rated. lines are killer long. i didnt think the 2 hour wait was worth it.



the MOMA. aka modern museum of art. i missed out last time but i have heard it is at least interesting even if you dont like art. it may even be funny.



take a walk down 5th ave. to see all the expensive shops that hardly anyone can afford then make a run for the barneys bargain basement or H&M to buy some real people clothes.



take a walk in times square at night. need i say more? the lights are famous.



the carnige deli by carnige hall is a famous, and yummy, deli. i recommend.



i think it is called JOES pizza? there are quite a few of them within blocks of eachother. they have cheap and good pizza and gyros. big big pizza with a small price.



you just have to soak it up and explore. just walk down a street and go in somewhere that looks interesting. and use the subway, its cheap and always an experiance. just watch your purse and other belongings.





HAVE FUN.

Answer 3

From a native Queens girl:



-grab a slice of pizza at Original Famous Ray's (not to be confused with Famous Original Rays's)

-stop at a local deli to get delicious, cheap coffee and the best bagel you could ever eat

-stroll up and down the streets of the Village (Bleeker is my favorite) for great food and reasonably priced drinks for an all-night binge

-splurge and go to a nightclub (probably between 11 and 12 st) to party and dance until the sun rises

-nothing like a romantic carriage ride through Central Park late at night



Have fun, and take care! You will love this city! ~N

Answer 4

Catwoman is right... try to do it all. And, there is a candy store on the East side called Dylans. Very fun stop. Be sure to see Harlem and the Dakota.

Answer 5

When you plan to go? There are tons of things to do during summer in the New York City. East village and soho is a must place for shopping and food. There are many upscale restraunts in Chelsea. Central park and lincoln center have many free concerts and play in summer. and Congraulation !

Answer 6

I suggest a nice dinner at Rossini's. Wonderful Italian cuisine!!!! The best food I have had by far in NYC. Here's the link for the restaurant http://www.rossinisrestaurant.com/RossinMainFrameset.htm



Then , after dinner go to the Majestic Theater and see Phantom of the Opera....Ive seen it 4 times and I can easily go back a dozen more. Here's the link for the theater...

http://www.newyorkcitytheatre.com/theaters/majestictheater/theater.html



Enjoy!!

Answer 7

Check out Botanical Gardens in the Bronx, Go for authentic greek food in Astoria, Queens, There is a great Steak house called Dinosaur in Harlem that orginated in Syracuse, NY, Coney Island, walk through central park. Cultural fesitvals are also good, depends on when u are going which ones are on. Go to www.offbroadwayonline.com for listing of many off broadway shows.

Answer 8

For a little taste of down-home New York City, try Katz' Deli on the lower East Side of Manhattan, on E. Houston Street. The place has been there since 1912, and has the best pastrami anywhere.

Answer 9

If Cirque du Soleil is playing...definitely check them out in NYC. In case you dont know...it's basically an artsy circus (leaning more along the side of artsy). Haven't really gone to any theaters or musicals in the city but that is pretty big there so you might want to check that out as well.



Aside from that...try to take the train into the city because parking is a pain in the a** and once you do find a spot...its usually like a $1000 for 2 minutes of parking. Any way, have fun and don't get robbed.

Answer 10

Try McSorley's by CooperUnion for gritty, old NY. Try Top of the Rock at Rockefeller center for something old that's new again, with great views and less kitsch than Empire State Bldg. Try Denino's Pizza in Staten Island if you want to explore the outermost borough (and a free Ferry Ride).

Answer 11

Hi I have a great web site for you both to see the finer things in the Big Apple.The site is "new york on tap".It has every thing in it that a person needs to plan a great trip.I hope you both have a wonderful time.Good Luck.

Answer 12

I live in NYC and I have to say just do what you would regularly do. I don't know if you just want to be like regular New Yorkers and such but I would recommend some places that are near tourists spots. One store I like to go to a lot would be Kinokunia and Miyamoto Kitchen which is more japanese themed like Kinokunia sells Japanese themed items and Miyamoto's sells sweets.



This might be a bit strange but I would also suggest this certain library that is not really a library. It's mostly for kids and such, I don't really remember the name right now.



Another idea would be to see a broadway show or something. My friends always go there even though they aren't tourists but be careful about prices.



The Museum of Art is a good place too. You might need a map or you'll get lost. I sure did. The entry fee is $20 per person which I don't think is too bad and the giftshop there is nice.



Medieval Times is a great place as well. As you can tell by the name what's it about. It's pretty much authentic, no forks and stuff which might be gross but I would say its closer to the real things then movies.



Liberty's Science Center is loads of fun. I've only been there twice for school trips but all the kids in my class did not want to leave. They usually have performances on the lowest floor which is cool.



You could always go somewhere for lunch like a fancy restaurant and such or go around in a taxi but McDonald's and the subway is the way to go if you don't want a touristy feel.



Hope I was of some help !

Answer 13

New York City has lots and lots of attractions. Most of them depend on age and your interests, but i'll list a few of my favorite.

Without a doubt, The Museum of Natural History, Metropolitan Museum of Art, and The Googenhiem- especially if you are into art. I'd also take a walk around Grand Central.

If Music Interests you, check out the concerts at Lincoln Center which feature The Metropolitan Opera, The Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, and the New York Phillharmonic. In that same area of Lincoln Center, do check out the Sony Imax Theater. 4 Stories Tall, featuring the most advanced sound system ever developed, it wows me every time. The Empire State Building is far from touristy. Seeing the city, especially at night 86 stories in the air gives you the best view of New York City, and is the best place to take pictures. Hold on to your hats- it gets windy up there. Most definatly before leaving New York City, Broadway shows I'd reccomend would be Chicago, Spring Awakining, and Rent. Off broadway you'll find Stomp(also in the east village) and Blue Man Group. Links Below. Congrats on gettin married!!! Have an awsome honeymoon.

Answer 14

You got alot of great places to investigate already. Don't discount "touristy" stuff. I am from Honolulu currently living by Cypress Gardens. NYC is nothing like Orlando.

I did not see helicopter ride. It's not cheap but a great way

to see the city. Boat trips around Staten Island on the ferry.

Long Island either coast at the point. Depends on what you want. Central Park, and Art museum you must go. The park u can rent a boat or play with toy ones. Eat... after a wedding brig some lazy clothes, relax and enjoy. Congratulations.

Atlantic City is close buy if u gamble but that's busy like Vegas.

Window shop, walk is way cool. FAO Schwartz, Tiffany's... People watch! Times square, go see a live TV show taped like Live with Regis & Kelly, Mike & Juliet or The View.

There is a whole theatre district so order tickets online early as they are booked up. Spring Awakenings is the best I heard. Lion King or Chorus Line, old standards.

Have a wonderful, full and playful time!!!

Answer 15

Things like the Statue of Liberty are wonderful things to see, and while they may be what "everyone else does" they are a part of our American History. But, and I do mean BUT, if you really want to see a different side of New York City, I suggest going to places in The Village. You can take the subway to 14th or Christopher Sts. You don't need to know names of places, because the best places are the ones you find by accident. Try to stay away from Times Square...if you don't want to do anything touristy...but if you do venture there, you can get your picture taken with the Naked Cowboy. Broadway is right off of Times Square, so you'll probably pass through it if you are going to go see a Broadway show or Off Broadway show.

But in all seriousness, most of NYC is a tourist trap. Try to stay away from mainstream restaurants, they are way expensive. Look for pizza places and small diners when you are walking. I don't suggest taking taxi's if you don't have an exact destination in mind, the cab drivers are crazy and you don't want to be in their car for a long time. Also, if you want to buy souvenir's shop with the street vendors, you can find some cool stuff there to remember your honeymoon with. While your up our way, try taking a ferry ride in the harbor. It is very romantic at night with the lights of the city in the background.

Best wishes to you and your fiancee, and have fun on your trip!

Answer 16

What do you or your husband do? If either one of you is a tradesperson, the General Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen is in New York. A really really old building built in 1785. Amazing way to kill a day if that is your kind of thing.



Were you or your husband Scouts as children? The United States head quarters of Boy Scouts of America and Girl Guides of America is in New York. A HUGE museum of the past 100 years of scouting. 2007 is the 100th anniversary of scouting you know.



Any military history in your family. There is a very large recruiting center in New York. Kiss a little *** and they'll give you some really cool military stuff. GI teddy bears, plane models, plastic tank gun sites, all of that stuff.



New York has some of the best Jazz, Blues, R&B clubs anywhere. All you have to do is look around and not be scared to go down a dark alley or two.



I agree, don't do the tourist thing. You're starting your lives together with this person. Start it off with an adventure you'll remember for the rest of your lives. New York is just the place for that.

Answer 17

Maybe you would be interested in Top of the Rock. That's at Rockefeller Center and geared towards tourists, yes, but not as much as Empire State Building. And ~ you can see ESB from Top of the Rock. Eating at Rockefeller Center Cafe is cool, also.



Central Park Zoo is very cool. They have polar bears and a rain forest which is beautiful! But it's hot as you-know -what, so dress accordingly. But wow! the beautiful birds and animals in there! The sea lions are terrific, they have an awesome show during feeding time!



I just ate at a fantastic Irish pub/restaurant, Brendan's. It is at 42 West 35th Street, between 5th and 6th avenue and the food is excellent. So was the service and the place is beautiful. I'll be going back there next time I'm in the city.



The Museum of Natural History is awesome, too! Make sure you go to 4th floor ~ that's where the dinosaurs are!

Answer 18

If you want a low budget trip your not going to the right city. But new york is great... there's the obvios answers of time square, the statue of liberty and the empire state builing.. But there's also so great places to shop like the largest Macy's in america which is right down the street from the Empire State Building along with other great stores. There's a lot of traffic so walking is nessecary and there are lots of different resturants with food from all over the world and a chinatown... A LARGE chinatown. There's TRL in timesquare and you can go to Hotels.com to get a great hotel. The stuff there is pretty expensive but it's a great city to visit and the Park is wonderful. There's also a couple great mueseums and like 5 different parks.

Answer 19

I live in St. Louis now but grew up in New York City and go back often. One other response mentioned the Cloisters, but I want to emphasize how special it is. It's one of the most romantic, elegant, and serene spots in Manhattan (which is not exactly known for its serenity). Plus, if you go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Cloisters on the same day, you pay once for both museums because the Cloisters is a branch of the Met. See the Cloisters first, though, because it's smaller and the Met is open longer hours.



Take the M4 bus, which starts at Penn Station, shifts to Madison Avenue, and continues way uptown. The M4 takes you practically to the door of the Cloisters, its last stop. When you want to leave for the Met, take the M4 downtown. It ultimately heads to Fifth Avenue and will drop you off at the Met. These are long bus rides, but you'll see a lot of the city.



The Met has places to eat, but you might want to get off the M4 around 92nd Street or so, walk east to Madison Avenue, and visit Jackson Hole (91st and Madison), which has burgers, sandwiches, salads, and the like. The food is reasonably priced, tasty, and filling—and you're going to need your strength and stamina for the Met, which from Jackson Hole is about 10 blocks away on Fifth Avenue.



Have a wonderful honeymoon!

Answer 20

You should go shopping at Fairway on the upper west side at 6pm. It's great people watching and will give you a true NY experience. Very crowded, lots of hustle and bustle. Additionally, walk around central park on the weekend and watch the roller skaters and street acts as well as walk down and watch all the wedding photos being taken. One other real unique thing you can do is take the Long Island Railroad to one of the beaches for the day. Long Beach is really a great area not pretentious like the Hamptons and has some restaurants, shops... good bagels, etc.,

Answer 21

Check out Little Italy. It's great because you'll walk and meet many people and try all sorts of Italian food. A good show is always available at Central Park and most are free. Just check for time and exact location. Most of New York is packed no matter where you go so be ready to bump into allot of people. If your in New York you gotta watch a sporting event. Baseball or Basketball, they are the craziest fans ANYWHERE!. I'm sure you guys will have a great time. Good Luck!

Answer 22

Take the L train to Bedford ave In Williamsburg. (First Stop In Brooklyn) Walk around the art galleries,(Its all Free). Ask for Teddys, Its a great bar with a good burger, walk down to Greenpoint and check out the Polish Neighborhood, Don't forget McLaren Park. Walk down to the river and check out the NYC Skyline at night Ask for Joes Place, good contemporary music. Walk up Lorimer street and grab a canoli and an espresso in the Italian neighborhood.



The average age is about 25 down there. several great restaurants and bars. an awful lot of friendly people too.



You will have a blast. Its very much like The Village used to be, but hurry up, its getting gentrified.

Answer 23

There is so much to see and do in New York, that is for certain (Empire State Building, Central Park, Metropolitan Museum, Statue of Liberty, et al). With that said, if you want to go off the beaten path and discover the many facets, nooks and crannies of the city, check out:



Lucky Cheng's and Lips (Restaurants with crazy drag queens)

East Village neighborhood

Canal Street/Chinatown (for designer knockoffs)

Museum of Sex

Brooklyn Museum of Art

Coney Island

Plenty of street fairs in the summer

Trapeze School

SoHo shopping

Sunday worship tours in Harlem churches



If anything, check out www.villagevoice.com, and you will find a plethora of listings for concerts, restaurants, and events.

Answer 24

My roommates and I are big on the cool places to eat.



Pastis - French cafe, very chic, go on a Saturday for brunch and you'll probably see celebs - corner of Little West 12th and 9th Ave



BED - American, VERY cool, turns into a nightclub after ten, you sit on beds and eat your food, two floors and the top floor gives you a gorgeous view, especially on a summer night - 530 W 27th St



Four Seasons - American, I shouldn't even have to hype this one up. A little pricey - 99 E 52nd St (Men must wear jackets)



Indus Valley - Indian, very cute and the food is amazing, not as pricey as the rest - corner of 100th and Broadway



Virage - Mediterranean, food is delicious, open 24 hrs - corner of 2nd ave and 7th st



Naima - Italian, really cool deco, great for groups, very chic and modern atmosphere, waiters are fantastic, very romantic - 513 W 27th (between 10th & 11th)



Cafe Lalo - Cafe/American/Pastry, this is the cafe featured in several movies, most prominently "You've Got Mail" and it's really cute and fantastic for brunch - 201 W 83rd st



Serendipity III - American/Italian, also featured in many movies (namely, Serendipity) it's perhaps a little too touristy for you but their desserts are amazing. However, the wait is usually around 2 hours EVERY SINGLE TIME, and reservations must be made months in advance - 225 E 60th st, right by Bloomingdale's



La Caverna - Italian, also turns into a nightclub at night, deco is cool (like a cave!) and the food is inexpensive - 122-124 Rivington St



Bull and Bear Steakhouse - Steakhouse, absolutely to die for, very pricey, dresscode: elegant - Waldorf=Astoria, 49th st and Lexington ave



Magnolia Bakery - Bakery/Pastry - world-famous cupcakes, I don't care if you don't want to do anything touristy, you must go here - 401 Bleecker st



As for shows, I would go for something on Broadway because you definitely will not be disappointed (I've been to some off-Broadway's, on the other hand, that haven't come full circle). Other things we locals do in NYC? Shop. Shop, shop, shop. If it's summer, find a park to sit in, people-watch (Union Square is great), go to South Street Seaport (there're a lot of cute little shops, cobblestone paths, and boardwalk restaurants), Go to the Met (I go there all the time and I am not a tourist), it's beautiful. I mean, generally, there's not a lot of superly-New York things us locals do. Not sure if you're into the bar/club scene, but if you are, the clubs we frequent are Pacha, Marquee, Butter (is great on Mondays but you've gotta know people), Pink Elephant, BED, Bungalow 8. All are dress-to-impress, some will turn you down at the door just because they don't know you, and most are pricey once you get inside.

Answer 25

She said she had been there before people! If you guys want to go to a cool bar check out Bar 89. I love 42nd street if you have't seen it yet. Or Wicked is really good too. A few of us rented and apartment in SOHO for a month one summer and i have been a few other times too. We wanted to get a better "real" experience. I really suggest buying the Frommer's New York City book. It will tell you some of the places to go other than the tourist spots. Also if you go to a play have dinner at John's pizza in the theatre district. I go everytime i am there.

Answer 26

well I have two things to tell you... as far as places to go and eat, go to the east village. On he same block are Paul's, known for the best burgers in the city (and fairly priced I might add) and Pomme Frites, which has hands down the best french fries in the city. That, in fact, is all they sell along with about 50 sauces to accompany them. It's awesome. Another place to go an see in Manhattan is Roosevelt Island. There is a tram which runs from manhattan to the island on 59th street and 3rd ave. You can see all of Manhattan and Roosevelt Island on this four minute ride which costs only $2.00 on your Metrocard, or it also valid to use a subway transfer. There is a lot to see on the island, but if you walk down to the south end you will find southpoint, a spot from which you have a perfect view of the east side of manhattan, long island city's west side, and get to enjoy wildlife and a beautiful sight. Or you could just ride the tram, which is cool too. enjoy!

Answer 27

Well: according to the "City of N.Y an famous home of New York Yankees Baseball Stadium & yes they has 3 theaters for Performing Arts there down town in Big Apple areas plus some Fancy Resturants at Mathatten Island very popular too visit http://www.travel.ny.com

Answer 28

Let me offer something a little different. NYC is known as a "walking city". During the spring & summer months we have street fairs all over. Check out the following website:

http://www.nycstreetfairs.com/sched.html



This is where you will get a great mix of folks living in the neighborhood, other nearby areas, outside boros, suburbs, tourist, celebs, etc. And there is quite a variety. Only restricted by the time you'll be here.



Enjoy

Answer 29

Are you coming in the summer? I don't know coming from Orlando....but everyone from the city comes to the beach...Long Beach it's a quick train away, I live on the beach and it is PACKED during the summer, the West End here is loaded with bars too!! When I go to the city with my fam or by my self I generally go to central park and walk around, go to the zoo there and the Bronx Zoo. The Chelsea Galleries are great, but honestly get a Time Out New York for a week or two before you come. That mag is great!! They tell you everything, really everything you could need to know or want to go or do in the city. I live in Long Beach and get it weekly to see whats going on! The mag has a web site you can prob see most of what you want on there, although flipping through the mag is easier. Anyway enjoy your trip! If you come to the beach try Minnesota's (it's a bar and restaurant, good food and a lot of fun)

Answer 30

Explore Brooklyn. It's a great side to NYC that many tourists never see. Walk along the Brooklyn Promenade. Check out Smith and Court Streets.



Also, take an overnight trip to Philadelphia. It's 2 hours from NY and you can travel via Greyhound bus for only $20 round trip.

Answer 31

Local NY'ers spend time in the many museums and parks we have available. Carroll Gardens in Brooklyn is steeped in turn-of-the-century history. The brownstones, on tree lined streets are beautiful. Walk to 4th and Court St. and have a beer in the oldest Bar in Brooklyn. Or have some real Brooklyn style Italian Pizza at Vinnies on 3rd and Court.

Take the F train to Carroll Gardens, walk 1 block from Smith St. to Court st. and then just walk south.

Depending on when you're coming, Look online for Shakespeare in the Park. "Central" in Manhattan or "Prospect" in Brooklyn. These parks are vast, and were both designed by the same architect in at the turn of the century. Central Park and the New York Botanical Garden, located in the Bronx, offer guided bird walks, and spring in Queens brings thousands of migrating shore birds to the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge’s 10,000 acres. You're invited to join New Yorkers who jog, walk, bike, in-line skate, horseback ride, ice skate, rent row boats, play basketball, softball, soccer, tennis and enjoy special events and festivals, in the city’s more than 1,700 parks and playgrounds Have a great honeymoon.

Answer 32

One of the off broadway shows that I have seen that was fabulous and relatively cheap was fantastic. The entire show is audience involved and really fun. here is the website for the show. http://www.drumstruck.com/ Also, Tarzan was fabulous. Shows are one of the biggest things in NYC. Also if you dont want to seem like a tourist use the subways and other public transportation. Greenwich was a very cool place. Its near NYU but it wasnt all that crowded. We stayed at the Hotel Beacon which is on Broadway at 75th Ave. Its near Central Park and was luxurious. http://www.beaconhotel.com/index.html

Answer 33

The best place on earth. Serendipity III' , the home of Frozen hot Chocolate. How romantic, a cup of frozen hot chocolate with two straws. awww.

I make sure to go there every trip to new york i make.

wicked is a must show. Also the color purple, may popins, and the wedding singer. Go to little italy, china town..its amazing. Also, if you do end up at serindipity, do to Dylans candy bar and the Bloomindales. There both amazing.



Again, Serendipity III. But if you do end up there, let me no. I can get you in so you dont have to wait inline( they dont take reservations, but for me, they will do anyting.)

Answer 34

See the privately owned art galleries. Soho has lots of good ones, but so do many neighborhoods. See the Museum of Modern Art. Sure, you'll see lots of tourists there, but the art will knock your socks off! The 6th floor is art by very famous artists that are now deceased. The 5th floor is living artists. I spent 2 days there and never got to the other floors. You can subscribe to the NY Times on line for free, then watch for articles on festivals and other annual events there. Congratulations.

Answer 35

You should go to Radio City, Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, The Hershey's Store,

for restaurants, Serendipity 3 (Three stars), Carmine's (four stars), Balthazar (four stars).

Answer 36

well let me tell u anything u do in the City looks touristy! lolim from here and i only recently started visiting the City. but you can go on a carriage ride thru central park or take a riqushaw ride down to times square. oh and to eat there is a resaurant call "BBQ's" on 21 University Pl, New York. theresa couple of them. or you can visit madam tussauds (wax museum),etc theres lotsof cool stuff here.....hope helped

Answer 37

Just walk around the city and enjoy the sights and sounds of NYC from day to night. Its not touristy but you would surely be acquainted with the liftestyle of new yorkers.

Answer 38

Aimee l The best thing for you and your husband to do is take a romantic ride in a hourse and carriage, go back to your hotelroom order roomservice and enjoy each other...

maybe later on in the evening the two of you can take a walk hold hands and get silly then go back to the room and do it all over again.... good luck and have fun

Answer 39

Go down to little italy at night and go to dinner at one of the little restaurants. Sitting there with a nice italian meal and wine will make u feel like your in italy. Its gorgeous with the lights over the streets. Very italian feeling. Dont forget some home made gelato for dessert

Answer 40

Definitely the Met....the museums in the city are a must. If you are into that stuff. Plus, going to some small little galleries in Tribeca is fun as well. There are a lot of great restaurants in NY, I suggest you get a copy of Zagats. Don't forget to go to Lombardi's Pizzaria in Little Italy and stop by the local deli for an authentic NY bagel. Hope this helps!

Answer 41

There is a great restaurant in the theater district called "the play bill" it seriously had the best food i have ever. I don't know where it is exactly, but it was really really good. Enjoy your honeymoon. Hugs and best wishes Kuka

Answer 42

Ray's Pizza (Seriously, everyone should go to Ray's Pizza)

Central Park

See a show. The Blue Man Group is awesome.



But really, if I were you, I'd wing it. Walk around, and if you see somewhere that looks interesting, go in. It's the best way to do New York.

Answer 43

Go to some Broadway or even Off off Broadway shows or go to Lincoln center to listen to classical music being performed. or go to the MET to listen to opera. Just go to Chinatown in Manhattan or go to other Chinatowns in Queens county or Brooklyn county, they are locally known as Queens and Brooklyn, for eating and shopping or you could shop on Fifth Avenue, which IS a touristy thing.

There is a great restaurant off of Times Square called Carmine's. Great Italian food. It's served family style, so when you order the salad or the chicken parm, you only want to order one between the two of you. BTW...I highly recommend the chicken parm and the cheesecake!! Have a great time~~~

A really good place to eat is a place called TAO. the Cobby beef carppacio is out of this world! if you are not really wealthy i don't advise it but if you have some cash TAO is a big place to go! (while i was there , i didn't know it but the Yankees were right next to me!)

Answer 51

Canal Street was very interesting when i went there. A lot of cheap items, not necessarily guarantied to work though. If you have ever been to Philly it is just like South Street.

Answer 52

if i was you i would go to astor place, soho, chinatown, greenwhich village, time square just for going to bars, eatting, and walking around. i would also go to broadways bc NYC has one of the best broadways in the world. also, if i was you i would rent an short term apartment in an amazing location such as the village. you can also go check out museums if you want. you can go to hookah bars if you like hookahs, theres one called ricos, small, but cozy located i think 9th and 10 on C ave, and another called sahara that is located btwn 10th and 11th, on 1st ave. there are comedy clubs all around the city, its really fun. you can go check out concerts, just go on ticketmaster.com, i like going to B.B.kings in times square. You can walk around central park, theres a zoo there if you want to go there. just walking around in the city is fun as it is, but that is all i can think of right now, hope you have fun.
