What things are a must in New York

[Alwaysdisley]

Top of the Rock would be my must do but get your comfortable shoes on and walk, so much to see. The High Line is a good walk and we liked Brooklyn Bridge. Enjoy!

Ellen’s Stardust Diner - if you enjoy the theatre/singing - the staff break into song during your meal!

My favourite thing is walking the Brooklyn Bridge.
Last time it was dark, pouring with rain, massive silver moon, almost alone, both of us with soaked shoes, hobbling on blisters.
Solitary NYPD officer stood watching us walk towards him, in his soaked hat and cape.
"You guys must be crazy to be out a night like this. "
He sounded just like Danny from Blue Bloods.
We stopped to talk, he was from Boston, his wife just had a baby. His Grandad was from Germany, his Gran from Cork.

Only thing we wouldn't do is eat at Katz Deli.

Not very original but we did a lot of the tourist bits... above were our favourite.

Just got back lst week.

Loved it!

Looks like it's all been covered, I love New York but I'd have to see a show on Broadway and visit Juniors in Times Square at least once for a meal and some gorgeous cheesecake for desert. 😋

Agree with lots of the above. I'm not sure I've seen anyone mention the Stage Door Tour at Radio City though - we really enjoyed that.
The NY Transit Museum is also one on our list for our next trip (with our transport mad son) and supposedly a "hidden gem"
Also, the Seaglass Carousel in Battery Park and the Whispering Gallery in Grand Central is good fun (and the station itself worth visiting).

My other top tip though is a Big Apple Greeter. We did this the first time we went to NYC and it was a fantastic start to our trip. We've used greeters in other cities since as a result.

We enjoyed visiting Dylan’s candy bar for a chocolate martini. Delicious. Candy store with a bar at the top. Food served and various cocktails. Candy themed bar. Bottom floor is a candy store.

Also went to the library as it’s a stunning building and saw the original Winnie the Pooh toy characters.
