New York in 2.5 days
We have just started planning for our visit to New York at the beginning of June.
A very loose plan so far is as follows: Arrival half day - check in to Broadway Plaza Hotel, Times Square, Grand Central Station 1st day - Empire State Building, 9/11 memorial, High Line and the Lion King 2nd Day - Natural History Museum and Central Park We dont have any urge to do SOL as feel we can see it anyway (sorry). Will we be able to fit in the Brooklyn Bridge. We are then following this with 5 days in Washington taking in the memorials, Smithsonian etc and the Zoo for my Panda fix followed with recharging of batteries in Orlando Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thanks

Hi your itinerary looks good to me not too packed. It’s tempting to try and do too much, we did, and not just enjoy being there. I would look at options for bike rental in CP such a great way to get around and meant we got round the whole park in a morning. If you did that and museum in the afternoon could maybe do an evening stroll of the bridge. Better to get the subway over there and walk back for the views

Your itinerary looks similar to ours was, we’ve been twice for 2 nights. You could fit in Brooklyn bridge if you are just planning on the 9/11 memorial fountains and not the museum. We did all the downtown stuff in one day so we didn’t have to keep going back down for just 1 attraction.

Hi we had two days in New York in July 2014, we managed to see a lot and that was with 3 children, youngest was 4. On day 1 - SOL, then 911, Brooklyn bridge, bus tour back up to Times Square, rest in hotel, then TOTR, Grand Central Station and the Library (day after tommorow).
Day 2 - Museum of Natural History, Central Park, toy shop FAO Schwartz (which isn’t there now), rest in hotel, sunset at Empire State Building. I was amazed how much we done but it was so easy to get around. We also got the explorer pass so we didn’t have to queue. We loved New York, enjoy your trip. |

We had similar time frame over Easter.
What we did was visited all the big sights, without really spending too much time in / going up them. We did the free ferry to get lots of pics of SOL and looking back at NY (well worth it), we got taxi other Brooklyn Bridge and walked back (saving a bit of time there, and doing the just do never again though yellow taxi ride!), we popped inside ESB without going up (ok, I don't like heights admittedly) - ditto Rockerfella and One Tower, popped into NYC Library and Central Station, and out again, visited Time Square and had time to go ice skating in Central Park and some shopping. Feel we saw all we wanted, and I we go back know what things we'd spend more time on. |
