How is this trip plan to NYC?
This saturday me and my GF are going to NYC. Taking the train into grand central. Then go to central park zoo, walk down 5TH avenue, take the staten island ferry. I want to take her to either metropolitan museum of art or Modern museum of art or Guggenheim( any tips). Maybe head over to the rockefeller plaza. Time square. Walk across the brooklyn bridge. I am going to take her somewhere nice but affordable like the hard rock cafe( should i reserve ahead?). And then head up to the empire state building to watch the sunset. Is this to much for just one day? Any tips for being a first time visitor? I want this to be very special since it is our first time going somewhere nice and all she knows is that we are going to NY. ALL the help is greatly appreciated.
All this in one day? I take it you will be arriving here at 4 am then.
Any of the museums will take upwards of an hour and a half each. Choose ONE museum if you must visit one (the Met is just lovely), skip the zoo altogether unless your heart is set on visiting the zoo. Take a little walk in Central Park, then walk down 5th Avenue, visit Rockefeller Center, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, browse at Tiffany’s. Keep walking down 5th until you hit Broadway/Times Square, then keep walking down to 34th to the Empire State Building. Don’t bother with the Staten Island Ferry, there is nothing interesting in Staten Island. If you must, take the Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island Ferry. If you have nice weather that is a nice ride.
For lunch I don’t think you need to make reservations, but it wouldn’t hurt to book one I guess, as this is high season.
