100 Great Things To Do in NYC
 

A while ago, there were some great threads on the Europe forum about 100 Great Things To Do in ___ (Paris, London, Rome, etc). Has there been one of those here on the US forum? I'm going to NYC in a few months and a list like that would be great. <BR> <BR>OK, I'll start: <BR> <BR>1. Take the Staten Island Ferry to the Statue of Liberty <BR>2. Visit the Empire State Building <BR>3. See a Broadway Play (or several) <BR>4. Visit the World Trade Center <BR>5. Shop in Dean & DeLuca's grocery store in Soho <BR> <BR>OK, over to you . . .

Yes, it has been done before. Many of those posts were started by "RQF". They didn't seem to get much interest... <BR> <BR>If you are GOING to NY, rather than live here, where did your 5 come from ? If you are really looking for suggestions, you will get more helpful responses if you ask for particular things such as unusal museums, neighborhoods to visit for food/shopping, etc... <BR>(and as for #1 on your list, you can't take the Staten Island Ferry TO the Statue of Liberty; there is a separate paid, long-lined boat for that, The Steten Island Ferry is the cheapest,fastest,easiest way to have a good water view of the statue without the hassles of going to it)

Sorry to be redundant but I did a search and nothing came up. I was hoping some New Yorkers would want to showcase their city not insult people for lack of knowledge. <BR> <BR>

One word: <BR>Walk! <BR> <BR>We were there for our first trip 3 yrs ago, May. We stayed at The Wellington @ 7th Ave/56th St next to Carnegie Hall/Deli. <BR> <BR>We got up early Sun. morning and took a cab down to catch the ferry to St of Lib/Ellis Isl. It was great. <BR> <BR>When we returned to shore, since it was a beautiful spring day, we chose to walk all the way back to the hotel. <BR> <BR>We hadda blast meandering thru lower and mid-town Manhattan on the way back. <BR>Yes, we looked like tourists when we walked below the World Trade Centers and Emp St Bldg. but het, who cares!? It was our first trip. <BR> <BR>I wish we had a nickel for everytime we said "THERE'S (fill in the blank)" ! <BR> <BR>"Urban Backpacking". <BR> <BR>Zig-zagged back and forth thru the diff. portions of town. Diff smells, sights, languages. <BR>Took us over 4hrs to walk back but it was worth every blister and corn we got. <BR> <BR>Can't wait to go back. <BR>Kal <BR>ps The Empire Stae Bldg at night was awsome!

Nice try, inquiring, but that's not the way it works here. See, you ask a question and then everybody jumps all over you and tries to make you feel like an idiot. It's the Fodors.com way, but here's a couple of suggestions anyway: <BR> <BR>1. Take the Circle Line cruise around Manhattan. <BR>2. Go to a Yankee Game. <BR>3. Take a subway to Coney Island and ride the Cyclone. <BR>4. Take a carriage ride through Central Park. <BR>5. Visit St. Patrick's Cathedral. <BR> <BR>If you do #5 be sure to light a candle for the misfits on this board.
