Experience New York After Dark
As mentioned, New York is the city that never sleeps, which is why you must experience it after dark. For example, you can enjoy a relaxing cruise that offers stunning views of the iconic Statue of Liberty, or you can absorb the panoramic view of the city as you stand on the 86th observatory floor of the Empire State Building. You should also visit one or more of the many modern bars across the city, which provide an electric, friendly atmosphere.
Enjoy Dinner and a Show
New York is most famous for its multicultural cuisine and groundbreaking theatrical productions on and off Broadway. Book a table at a brilliant restaurant before catching a musical or theatrical performance at one of the world-famous theatres. There is a show for everyone in New York, you simply need to find a production to complement your taste.
Explore Central Park
You cannot visit New York and not step inside the beautiful Central Park in Manhattan. Not only can you stroll through the beautiful parkland, but here you can pay a visit to the much-loved Central Park Zoo, which offers 130 species, which include tropical birds and snow leopards. There’s also some great scavenger hunts the children will love, and the family can even enjoy a horse and carriage ride around the 843 acres of land. It’s a destination to put at the top of your NYC bucket list.
Visit a Museum
New York City is not short on interesting, entertaining museums. Top of your list should be the American Museum of Natural History, which is one of the largest museums on the planet. In fact, it’s so big that you could easily spend a whole day here. The crown jewel of the museum is, however, the planetarium and the space exhibition.
However, if you appreciate art and culture, take yourself along to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which is one of the largest art museums in the world featuring two million works of art that span five thousand years. You should also visit the Guggenheim Museum, which is famous for its impressionist and post-impressionist works of art.
