Tourist attractions we recommend
Sightseeing
We generally recommend folks go here so they can see the Empire State Building. It’s really nice to see everything during the day, vs at night, in our opinions. That said, a good plan can be to go at dusk for both daytime and nighttime views.

The museum is a must see memorial to those lives lost on 9/11. It’s a sad but beautiful tribute.

Parks
A very urban park - it’s a lovely place to hang out and sit or picnic. The winter village has a lot to offer and ice skating there is lovely. It can be very busy so go during off peak hours to avoid the big crowds.
