What should I see in Nyc if I only have 3 days?

Im going to NYC next week to go check out NYU before I apply for admission this fall. I only have 3 days to see the sights and ill be staying near Wall Street. What are the best sights, restaurants and shows to go see for a traveler on both a time and monetary budgetWhat should I see in Nyc if I only have 3 days?
It's a walker's city and we have trains, buses and taxis to get you from point A to point B. There's a lot to see and cover, and you only have 3 days. What do you like?



Check out the Wall Street area and see where the "money gets made and exchanged". Chinatown and Little Italy are within walking distance too. That could be your first day. Second day I would go to the Village and check out Washington Park where part of NYU is spread out over and then Central Park by 5th Avenue in the 50's, where the tony (meaning fancy) stores are like Tiffanys. Then I would check out the Spirit of New York boat ride, and take a couple of hours going around Manhattan and seeing the infamous skyline.



At Sunset I would check out the South Street Seaport.



Third day, try to check out some museums if you wish, we have plenty! There's the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Natural History for starters.



I would say to check out Times Square but I think you'll be exhausted by then. Times Square can get claustrophobic with the glut of tourists roaming and clogging the streets.

I thought New York was the city that never sleeps or is that Las Vegas? Well see your university first that's an obvious then see time square that's a must i'm not sure if coney island is still open but go there statue of liberty is a must for all tourist and all the cool builidings like the empire state building and crysler and all the cool architecture central park is kinda cool i guess and that's all i can think of so enjoy ur little kinda sorta vacation! :D
museum of natural history, tour boat ride around manhatten, rays pizza best pizza in the world,
The big things you MUST do is Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, and Times Square. I really suggest a tour bus. You'll do a lot of things and see a lot of places you just cant get around to doing by yourself. Coney Island is questionable, I think you should do something else.... See a good play. New York is famous for plays. Best Pizza in New York is my opinion is John's Pizza. Its by Times Sqaure and Broadway.

Empire State Bldg.

At least one Mall (Macy's perhaps)

Times Square, Rockefeller Centre

Canal Street
If you take the "car rouge" around - im not sure what they call it in New York, but its the big open top red busses



you can see all the major spots and if you purchase a 2 day ticket you can use it for transportation aswell. It will bring you to different stops and mostlikely you can walk to your location form one of the stops. Plus your up high so you can have a wonderful view

and dont forget to check out time square!

have a blast!!
