With only 4 days and 3 nights in New York, there’s only so much that one can see. Sean and I were out from morning to night and covered a ton of ground and yet, there were sights we just couldn’t fit in… I think we did pretty good, all things considered.
Here’s what we’ll be sure to see next time:
* Guggenheim Museum
* Whitney Museum
* Museum of Art and Design
* Rose Centre for Earth and Space and Hayden Planetarium at AMNH
* New York Public Library
* Chrysler Building
* Flatiron Building
* Grand Central Terminal
* South Street Seaport
And let’s not to forget about the other boroughs:
* New York Botanical Garden
* The Cloisters
* Brooklyn Heights, Prospect Park, Park Slope, Williamsburg
* Brooklyn Museum
* MoMA PS1
* New York Aquarium
* Museum of the Moving Image
* Bronx Zoo
* Coney Island
And of course, more time needed for:
* MoMA
* Soho / East Village / Lower East Side / West Village
* Central Park: Great Lawn, Bethesda Terrace, Alice in Wonderland, Bow Bridge, Hans Christian Anderson, Shakespeare Garden, Strawberry Fields, pale male and the central park hawks
As it was Sean’s first time and I wanted to make sure he saw the greatest hits, I was not able to indulge in a couple of things I would have liked to do, which is why the next time, the following goes straight to the top of the list:
* Tea & Sympathy for afternoon tea
* Falafels at Chickpea
* Falafels at Maoz Vegatarian
* Parkoras, chana masalas and parathas from Baluchi’s
* Strand Bookstore
* Friends building – Grove & Bedford in Greenwich Village
* Breakfast at Tiffany’s Holly Golightly’s apartment – 169 w. 71st Avenue
* See an opera at the Met or a ballet at New York City Ballet
There’s always something to see or do in New York. And however long you visit, it always seems like there’s never enough time. And every morning when you wake up, New York will have you thinking, “what AM I going to do today?” instead of “what is there to do today?”
How many cities can inspire that? Until next time…
