NYC (The City That Never Sleeps)
New York city was such a hard trip to plan because it had so much to see.
We stayed for 2 weeks in New York. The Airbnb was a surprisingly good deal, and it was great to stay in Brooklyn outside of Manhattan.
I'm not going to make a post day by day, but I’ll leave you here my don't miss places.
Tips that can come in handy:
Citypass (122$ online), what's included:
1. Two ascents to the Empire State Building on the same day (so you can see it by day and night);
2. Entrance to Metropolitan Museum of Art;
3. Entrance to American Museum of Natural History;
4. One ascent to Top of the Rock or a Guggenheim Museum entrance (I chose the first one);
5. One way to Ellis Island and to the Statue of Liberty or a trip on the Circle Line Sightseeing Cruises (I chose the second one);
6. An entrance to 9/11 Memorial & Museum or the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum (chose the first one);
7. A boat trip around the Hudson;
MetroCard (for the subway, the ticket lasts 2 hours)
Broadway: This one is better to buy the tickets at the last minute. I mean like half an hour or less before the show. In Times Square there's a booth that sells tickets with amazing discounts.
Other suggestions:
Jazz: The Village Vanguard
The Slipper Room
MoMA (Fridays are free after 4 pm)
Tenement Museum ( this was the best museum for me, and I bough a lot of cute stuff in their store)
