Go visit the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, two landmarks of New York City. To get there by the ferry, you need to purchase round-trip ferry tickets at Castle Clinton National Monument in Lower Manhattan. Ferries from New York operate on a loop, stopping first at Liberty Island and then at Ellis Island before returning to Battery Park, New York.



Directions to get the ferry dock:

Go visit the Empire State Building, one of the many landmarks of our city. It is located at 350 5th Avenue. To get there by MTA subway, take the 1, 2, or 3 (Seventh Avenue Lines), A, C or E (Eighth Avenue Subway) to 34th Street/Penn Station. Or take the B, D, F, N, Q, R or Path to 34th Street/Avenue of the Americas.



Go to Madame Tussauds Wax Museum, located at 234 West 42nd Street, between 7th and 8th. To get there by subway, take the 1, 2, 3, 7, N, Q, R, W, or S to 42nd Street, Times Square, the A, C, or E to 42nd Street, which will empty out at 8th Avenue, or the B, D, F, or V to 42nd Street, which will empty out at 6th Avenue. To get there by bus, take the M6, M7, M10, M16, M20, M27, or M104 to Times Square. This is standard $2.25 fare. For express buses to Madame Tussauds, which are $5.50, from Staten Island, take the X1, X6, X7, X9, X17J, X22, X30, or X31 to the Staten Island Ferry, and take the 1 train from there to 42nd Street. From Queens, take the X51, QM1, QM2, QM2A, QM3, QM4, QM10, QM12, QM15, QM16, QM17, QM18, QM22, or QM24. From the Bronx, take the BxM2.



Go to the New York Hall of Science in Queens. To get there, take the 7 train to 111th street station, and walk three blocks south. There are many ways to get to the 7 train. The easiest is by taking the A, C, E, N, Q, R, 1, 2 or 3 to 42nd Street, Times Square, or the 4, 5 or 6 to 42nd Street, Grand Central Terminal. Or, you can take the E, G or M to 45 Road – Court House Square, and transfer to the 7 there. You WILL need to use your MetroCard to transfer. Or, take the E, F, R or M to 74th Street, Broadway, and transfer there.



Go walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, which is, if I'm correct, which I might not be, is the oldest structure in the city. If not the oldest structure, the oldest bridge. To get there, and walk across it, take the 4, 5, or 6 to the Brooklyn Bridge/City Hall stop. Another option would be to take the J, M, or Z to Chambers Street.



Go visit Coney Island, the home of the world famous Cyclone roller coaster. The amusement park is open in the summer, unless there is heavy rain. In the summer of 2009, there were hurricane warnings, so the park was closed, but luck is usually on your side when you go to Coney Island in the summer, as New York City summers are hot and muggy. To get there by train, take the D, Q N or F train to Stillwell Avenue, which is the last stop. At Coney Island, there is also a nice beach to hang out, and a long boardwalk with some really awesome boardwalk food, like corn dogs and onion rings and french fries and milkshakes.



Go visit the South Beach-Franklin Delano Roosevelt Boardwalk in Midland Beach, right off the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. It is two-and-a-half miles long, and has some long, beautiful stretches of beach. In addition, it’s very easy to get to. To get to South Ferry station in Manhattan, take the 1 train to the last stop, or take the 4 or 5 to Bowling Green and walk. The Staten Island Ferry is free of charge, and it takes about fifteen minutes to get from Manhattan to Staten Island. From the Staten Island Ferry Terminal take Bus S51 to Father Capodanno Boulevard and Sand Lane. Or, if you have a car, take the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway to the Verrazano-Narrows, and follow the signs to Father Capodanno Boulevard, which will take you right to the beach and boardwalk.



Go for a ride on the Circle Line. There are numerous different cruises – one is the Full Island Cruise, which takes you around Manhattan on a three-hour cruise. The Semi-Circle Cruise sets sail on a two-hour cruise down the Hudson offering a stunning panoramic of the famed New York skyline and a close-up view of Lady Liberty. The Liberty Cruise turns 75-minutes into a quick and inspirational way to see New York’s highlights from the water. There is also a Harbor Lights Evening Cruise, which allows you to view the hotspots of New York City from the water at night. Then, there is The Beast. It’s a boat that travels at forty-five miles per hour down the river to the Statue of Liberty. Both cruises are fun and informational, and are a great way to kill some time if you don’t have anything to do.

Go to visit some museums. There are so many, that listing directions to all of them would be a waste of your time and my time, so instead, I will give you a list where there is a list of all the museums of New York City. You can pick some that sound interesting, and then you can find directions to that place, either from the website, or from Google, simply by typing in "directions to" and insert the museum you would like to go to beside it.
