My favorite thing is just walk from uptown to downtown, window shop, just really take in the city and everything it has to offer.

If it's mild out I love South Street Seaport. My friend and I did high tea at the St. Regis and it was fantastic.

Re: what are your favorite things to do in NYC

i've always enjoyed walking up and down fifth, anywhere from penn to the park, it's all good. i like making a stop in st. pat's cathedral, walking through rock center, window shopping at all the stores i can't afford and being a kid at fao schwartz

other areas that are fun to walk through - little italy, soho, the village

if in the mood for a museum i'd go to the met, moma, or the museum of natural history (i really like the planetarium)

Stupid question, but do you drive to brooklyn and park? I've never done it but wanted to. What's the easiest way to do that?

Some things DH and I have enjoyed: Little Italy, China Town, Central Park Zoo, Natural History Museum, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum, Circle Line boat tour(although it may be too cold for that).
Have fun!

If you are interested in history, the Tenement Museum and the Merchant's House Museum are really interesting. They are both in the same part of town (LES). The Tenement Museum was home to middle class immigrants and the Merchant's House belonged to an affluent family.


I was never a big modern art fan, but I liked MoMA so much I got a membership. Get the headphones, the narratives are what opened up the experience for me.

Re: what are your favorite things to do in NYC

One of my favorite things to do in the city is go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and then walk down Fifth Avenue and do some window shopping. If the weather is nice I love the South Street Seaport Area or maybe the Statue of Liberty or Ellis Island.

If you do the Brooklyn Bridge, walk down and have a drink (or even lunch) at the River Cafe, under the Bridge. It's one of my favorite restaurants in Brooklyn!

The restaurants!

No matter how many different restaurants I try in Long Island, nothing really compares to dining out in Manhattan.

I did that a lot when I lived in the city, so parking wasnt a problem...but if I did it now, I'd probably take the train or try to park on the street somewhere downtown.

I love Chinatown, all the sights and smells make me feel like I am in another world. Not to mention the food. I could walk around Chinatown for a whole day.
