Thinking about Intrepid museum or National History.

Both are great.

Check the Metropolitan Museum of Art to see some very famous works by Van Gogh and the like

I prefer John’s on Bleeker St for pizza

9/11 museum

Baseball game

USS Intrepid

Also I think NY Pizza Suprema has the best slice, unless ya'll know others.

Dani's out in Kew Gardens (Queens). LINK By some miracle of God they have Abita from time-to-time.

If you've never done the bus tours, you should. We've done all the Gray Line tours and have enjoyed them all. LINK

The Museum of Natural History is a really good spot (it's huuuge and there's a Shake Shack behind it on the corner of W 77th and Columbus). LINK

The Staten Island Ferry takes you right in front of the Statue of Liberty and it's a free ride (just follow the crowd to the return ferry when it docks at Staten Island). LINK

If you go to the Empire State Building and there's a decent crowd, spring for the VIP pass. It's worth it just to hear people getting pissy as you pass entire rooms of people standing in winding lines.

If you're at the Empire State Building around lunchtime, Legends is behind it, across the street (West 33rd). This is the bar the LSU Alumni Association uses for all the LSU football games (no idea on other sports but it wouldn't surprise me). If there's an LSU game on they'll have an inflatable Mike outside the front door. LINK

If you're in Times Square and need something to satisfy your sweet tooth, check out the cheesecake at Juniors. LINK

If you're feeling a bit more adventurous you can check out something like Fort Tryon Park (and The Cloisters) LINK Beautiful views of the Hudson there. The Park tries to have some sort of event as often as possible. LINK

The Brooklyn Bridge is a fun walk (but can be crowded as the frick). If you take the subway to Brooklyn then walk into "the city" (Manhattan), there's a multi-story Chick-fil-A just a couple of blocks away with a rooftop seating area (if the weather's nice, you just can't beat have some of their food and drink in that outdoor area). LINK

The 9/11 Memorial is just a couple of blocks away from that. LINK

It’s worth searching for tours of underground or abandoned NYC. They have those occasionally and you can see things like the abandoned City Hall subway station, which is much, much nicer than modern stations. Tiffany skylights etc.

Thanks for the tips and suggestions.I'm going to check out the intrepid! We have tickets for good morning America taping but would rather it be fox and friends. But I still think it will be cool.

Two museums. MoMA. Frick.

Metro museum of modern art.

Has some of best collections on Earth.

Many cultures represented.

Great European art.

Was patronized by j p Morgan.
Other Uber rich later. Mary cassat guided euro purchases after Morgan.

The natural history museum is the obvious first answer.
But the sex museum is pretty neat. You'll giggle a lot but you'll learn some interesting shite too.

You could also spend hours just walking around Central Park.

This was by far my favorite thing.


Also, Trump Tower is just across the street fro CP. Not sure if you can still tour it but it’s stunning.

-Grand Cental Oyster Bar

-2.5 Hour Full Island Circle Line Tour

-Walk the Highline

-Top of the Rock (over Empire State Building or WTC if you can't or don't want to do all 3)
