Travel New York

Introduction

New York City is one of the most exciting cities in the world. Whether you're traveling for business or pleasure, there's always something to do. In this post, we'll explore three days worth of activities in New York City that will give you a taste of what it has to offer.

Day 1: NYC Museums

The first day of your trip should be spent at one or two of the museums in New York City. The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) is a must-see, but if you want to see something different and more family friendly, try the American Museum of Natural History. If you're looking for something a little more off-the-beaten path, check out the Brooklyn Museum or New York Historical Society.

If you love art but aren't into museums, there are plenty of excellent galleries nearby too! The Whitney Museum has become an icon in its own right thanks to its beautiful location and impressive collection (although admission is steep). Afterward head over to Lower Manhattan where some smaller but equally interesting galleries are located along Broadway: Venus Over Manhattan (that's us!), Hirschl & Adler Galleries and Pace Gallery have been staples on this strip for years now so don't miss them!

Explore Central Park

Central Park is the most visited park in the United States. It is located in the center of Manhattan and stretches from 59th Street to 110th Street, with a total area of 843 acres (3.42 km2). Central Park was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux as part of a competition held by New York City to find a replacement for an open area at Broadway and Tenth Street that had been used as a burial ground since 1797. Construction began in 1859 and was finished in 1873.

The park has an amazing variety of things to do: you can rent bikes, take horse-drawn carriage rides, go ice skating during winter or simply walk around it enjoying nature's beauty!

Day 2: Visit the Top of the Rock

Your second day in New York City should be spent at the Top of the Rock, which is located on top of Rockefeller Center. You can get there by taking an elevator to the 59th floor or walking up 678 steps (!!). Once you're there, prepare yourself for one of the best views in New York City! The view will take your breath away and make you feel like a tiny ant—but no matter how high up you are, there's always something else even higher than where you stand.

And if getting there isn't enough adventure for one day, try visiting Rockefeller Center during Christmas time as well! It will be decorated with hundreds of thousands of lights and holiday decorations that will really put into perspective just how big this city really is. Just make sure not to miss your flight home...because trust me when I say that nothing beats being stuck in NYC without a flight back home on Christmas Eve.

Broadway Show

• What to expect?

Broadway shows are always a great experience and this one is no exception. Expect to be entertained, dazzled and amazed by the performance of your favorite actors and actresses as they sing their hearts out on stage. The show ends with a standing ovation from the audience as everyone cheers for more!

• What to wear?

The dress code for Broadway shows is pretty relaxed – don’t worry about being overdressed or underdressed because most people will be dressed up in jeans or slacks with a nice shirt/blouse, but you can also go all-out with your finest formal attire if that’s what makes you comfortable! Just make sure that whatever outfit you choose doesn’t have buttons or zippers that could accidentally pop open when excitedly clapping at the end of Act One…or during an emotional moment while watching someone else perform!

• Bring some snacks!

Make sure ahead of time where there's food nearby so that when hunger hits during intermission (or after) there's something nearby that isn't overpriced concession stand fare…and maybe even still tastes good after being reheated by microwaves!

Day 3: 9/11 Memorial & Museum

You’ll find the 9/11 Memorial in downtown Manhattan, right across from the National September 11th Memorial & Museum. Just make sure to visit before it closes at 5pm each day—and definitely don’t forget your camera! You can also get tickets to see their “Last Column: Reflections on Hope and Healing” exhibit by booking in advance.

Once you arrive at the memorial, there are several things to keep in mind: first and foremost, dress comfortably, as there is a lot of walking involved between both sites. It is also recommended that you bring small change for parking (which will cost $15) or public transportation (the nearest subway station is Cortlandt Street), as well as any food or drinks if you want something other than what's available at either site. Finally, be sure to check out our blog post about how long it takes to visit both venues so that you know what time frame works best for your schedule!

New York City Shopping

New York City is a shopping destination like no other. The city has everything from high-end luxury stores to vintage thrift shops, so you're sure to find something that fits your style and budget.

The best shopping areas in New York are:

• Soho - This is the spot where you'll find all the best designer labels as well as more affordable boutiques.

• SoHo East - Home to some of Manhattan's trendiest department stores, including Bloomingdale's and Barneys New York.

There are many things to do in New York and you can fit them all into a long weekend.

When planning your trip, it's important to keep in mind that there is a lot to do in New York. In fact, you could fill the weekend with activities and still not see everything! While having a flexible itinerary is ideal, it's also important to remember that you need time for rest and relaxation so that you're able to fully enjoy all of the wonderful things New York has to offer.

If you have never been before, or even if this is an annual vacation destination for your family or group of friends, here are some suggestions on how best spend your time in New York City:

• Start off by exploring Central Park - whether on foot or by bike - before heading over towards Fifth Avenue where there are endless shopping opportunities (or at least until the stores close)

• If Broadway musicals are more up your alley then stop by Times Square where there are several theaters playing new shows every day; otherwise head down 42nd Street towards Broadway where many musicals have been running since forever (and yes I'm talking about Wicked). Either way don't forget dinner beforehand!

Conclusion

New York City is a magical place that can be explored in many ways. If you have never been to New York before, I hope my guide has helped inspire you to make plans for your next visit!
