Absolutely, come alone! People are friendly and helpful. Just be street smart.



Now as for what to see. First, get a good tour map. Then I recommend you take the BIG APPLE double decker tour bus for an overview of the city. There are several different neighborhoods so I'll highlight these and what to see:

Upper East Side: Metropolitan Museum of Art, Guggenheim, Whitney Museum. Walk up and down Madison Avenue for awesome shops and boutiques 96th - 57th st. Walk Park Avenue for architecture all the way to Grand Central Terminal and see the treasures located within. Walk along 5th Avenue to see/go in and out of Central Park - go for a run, go to the Central Park Zoo, go to the Carousel, go for a gondola ride at the boat house.

UPPER WEST SIDE:

Museum of Natural History -a must! on Central Park West,

Walk along Columbus Avenue. Visit the West side of Central Park and pay respects to John Lennon's Strawberry Fields.

Hi hun, I went to nyc on my own last month, for a few days before miami.. definitely so much to see sight seeing wise..as for night life, im afraid its much fun to have a new yorker to hang out with.. ny-ers generally hang around with their own groups and do not generally talk to you. it is ok but miami is definitely cooler for a single traveller.. people are friendlier and nicer to a single woman than in ny.. walk around ocean drive and youll be bombarded with suggestions, not to mention invitations to a million social places.. wheerever u choose to go, i hope u enjoy yourself.. :)
