Times Square and Broadway musicals are always big headliners, and the newest Broadway theatre is the Marquis Theatre in the Marriott Marquis Hotel. Elsewhere in NYC, established museums like The Met, MoMA and Guggenheim are must-sees, but don’t miss the Museum of the Moving Image, American Crafts Museum and The Cloisters.
Find essentials or splurge on must-have, unique items on Fifth Avenue. If shopping doesn’t appeal, don’t miss the chance to gain a broader perspective from the observation level of Top of the Rock at Rockefeller Plaza or see what King Kong saw from the top of the iconic Empire State Building. Looking for outdoor activities in New York City? Check out the Trapeze School New York. If you’re visiting in the summer, book a class outdoors at Pier 40, or consider outdoor yoga class at Battery Park and find your zen after a busy day exploring.
Individual New York neighborhoods like Harlem make this city feel like many places at once. Amble along the streets of Little Italy or Chinatown to discover great ethnic restaurants, duck into trendy galleries in SoHo, or catch a performance of the Public Theater’s Shakespeare in the Park. After a few days exploring hidden gems and iconic favorites, you'll leave feeling like a native.
