Manhattan can be overwhelming for first-time visitors. Let us be your guide.
Manhattan can be overwhelming thanks to its sheer size—it’s an easy place to get lost, making the task of mapping out where to go, feel like an even more difficult chore. But you’re in luck. From shopping in SoHo to date nights in the West Village (not to be confused with the East Village), we’ve curated pockets of Manhattan that you’ll want to explore the next time you’re in town.
These are great places to go, but the order they have them in will have you scurrying around New York unnecessarily. Columbus Circle is at 59th Street which is closer to the theater district than the financial district or Nolita. Try using a map of some kind to plot a more rational order rather than the subjective ordering of this list to avoid spending more time and money on transportation. New York can be exhausting as it is, bring comfortable shoes and clothes for walking!
