hey guys, winter break is coming up! I have decided to spend it but where else? NYC! I will be there for 2 weeks! and I was wondering if you could give me some recommendations of places to see and things to do while I am there! I would like to enjoy NYC as much as I possibly can! Thanks for your help and happy holidays!
PS
if you could also add, nice restaurants to dine that are affordable or just fancy that I should not miss.Awesome things to do in NYC?
Go to the top of the Empire State building.
Look up some little churches that have wonderful mid-afternoon classical %26amp; chamber music concerts for donations.
Go to Central Park-- it's awesome. Take a horse %26amp; buggy ride if you can afford it.
Ride the carosel at Central Park. See the zoo. And go to the rustic playground, there is the most awesome marble slide carved and laid into the bedrock-- fun for kids %26amp; adults alike.
Window shop down 5th Ave-- stores are so pretty this time of year.
Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular is really cool.
Oh-- I love the Museum of Natural History %26amp; the Haden Planetarium; cool place to spend a day.
Go through some of the little shops in the village.
See a show-- Broadway; off Broadway; whatever.
Take the ferry to Staten Island and back-- it's really cheap %26amp; just a fun ride.
Statue of Liberty of course, interesting. Or Ellis Island.
NY Public Library is quite a beautiful place to hang out.
If you head over to Brooklyn on the subway check out Juniors famous cheesecakes (they have good food too), right near the amazing Brooklyn Botanic Gardens and the Brooklyn Museum (which has one of the world's biggest Egyptian exhibit).
Also cool things in Brooklyn are the Aquarium and Coney Island (not the best neighborhood, but still the boardwalk is a fun place to visit).
In Queens-- the Museum of Moving Images (TV %26amp; Film) is a fun %26amp; fascinating place. Again, a short subway hop.
If you feel like a subway ride up North to the Bronx, the Bronx Zoo and the Botanic Gardens are beautiful there.
Oh-- this time of year go ice skating at Rockafeller Center, or just go to see the tree.
Seriously there are too many fabulous restaraunts to even get into... but for me the real treat is 1) pizza %26amp; 2) stopping to get hot dogs/pretzles off the cart.Awesome things to do in NYC?
