Native New YorkerI'm going to NYC what sites/places should I definitely go to?
Well, i should recomend you to visit Museum Of Natural History, Metropolitan Museum, get a walk at Central Park, don't go visit the Statue of Liberty (take a boat to see from far, because there you gonna lost time, just a stair to up and down). I've bought the City Pass there, for about 74 dollars, and you get all above plus the ride boat to visit the Statue.



If you like, go see Stomp in Broadway (I'liked a lot) or a Yankee game (just to feel like a local one).



Empire statue is an amazing place to see all from above (the City pass gives acess to this one too).



Ground Zero (in memoriam), Guggenhein I didn't like, to abstrat.



I think 4 or 5 days is good enough to see the best places.I'm going to NYC what sites/places should I definitely go to?
