We tend to avoid touristy spots but maybe Top of the Rock if we can reserve a specific time or get a Fast Pass or something.

I will pay handsomely to skip a line.

I think I'd opt for the Summit observation deck. Relatively new: https://summitov.com/experience/

Sold out completely for all three days.

That’s the downside of bad planning…

Dinner at the Peak?

Or old school empire state building. I thought of top of the rock because it was the last one of those I did that wasn't a straight up roof bar (lots of those too).. and even as a jaded NYer, the views were amazing. Caveat, this was 2010, so not up to date.

Snowing right now. If it keeps up it's going to be a sloppy mess here .. make sure you bring shoes that can get sloppy.

Going to Soho tomorrow and Thursday with sixteen year old daughter and her friend. Gonna hit the MOMA first I think, maybe ice cream museum. They want to shop a little. Anything else going on in the area that we should check out? I assume we will eat Italian for dinner, haven't looked at that yet. Ghostbusters Fire house is tempting, but it's just so cold. Tia

On a new york subway to MOMA ffs. Uber was $50!

I guess FBG's is truly finished.

I've been sick... sorry.

Hope you're having fun with the girls. I freaking love MoMA.

and you should absolutely be riding the subways. faster during the day than a car, and obviously cheaper. plus, it's the experience for the kids to remember.

We are already gone. Ended up skipping the Ice Cream museum because it was $55 a person. I laughed at the dude. We just did more shopping which they preferred anyway.

Other than a show, is imagine that would be an ideal NYC couple days for a a couple teenage girls

Lots of great food in Soho and surrounding neighborhoods.

If you want a well-known/slightly touristy bakery - Dominique Ansel on Spring Street invented Cronuts (those and the DKA have been the best things we've tried there).

There are at least four semi-famous pizza places on Bleecker Street - Joe's (which was just the regular neighborhood place when I was in High School, but somehow became famous in the past 35 years), Johns (famous thin crust place that's been around forever), Mama's Too (be prepared for chaos) and L'Industrie (be prepared for a long line).

Mrs. Jayrod and I are planning a few days in NYC in July with a train ride to Boston and back. It's our 25th and outside of something in Europe (too much $$ for us right now) this is our dream vacation.

I've got a cousin with a nice place in Westchester we can stay with for a night or two, plus want a couple of nights in Manhattan.

We hit the city for 3 days back in 2022 and had the time of our lives. Only big things we missed were the 9-11 Museum and MoMA.

Anything new pop up in the last few years any locals would recommend? We didn't catch a Broadway show last time either, so may throw that in this time (not a big deal to either of us, but I would love to see Hamilton live once).

Anyway, looking to start booking soon.

Hamilton is an amazing night of theater- we're considering seeing it again now that prices aren't 1k+ for nosebleeds. Totally recommend seeing it.

Man... new... always new restaurants, shows, bars, hotspots... none of which I go to or know much about, sadly.

If you're only in the city for a couple days, those will fill up fast between 9/11, MoMA, a BWY show or 2 and shopping/wandering/eating.

Heading to the NYC area with the wife and kids (19 & 17) for Pokemon GoFest in a couple weeks. On Saturday 6/7, We'll be driving up from the Allentown, PA area (about 2 hours) to Liberty State Park on the Jersey side and where we'll be doing the Pokemon stuff on Sunday. I was looking around to build some other things on while we're in the area on Saturday. Here's a rough plan, let me know if you see any issues with my thinking here or if there are better options in the area.

Saturday - 6/7
10:30-12:30 - Drive to Liberty State Park
1:00-? - Ferry to Statue of Liberty with Crown Access (tickets purchased)

At this point not sure whether to try and get a ferry from Liberty Island direct to NYC or come back and check into our reservation at Canopy by Hilton Jersey City Arts District and then take the PATH from the station a couple blocks away over to the World Trade Center station.

Thinking about going to the 9/11 memorial / museum in the afternoon / evening before dinner. I see last entry is at 5:30 and it closes at 7:00. Looks like ticket reservations are wide open right now. Do you think there will still be tickets available if we wait and play it by ear that day?

Anything else in the WTC area that we should stop into while we're in the area that afternoon / night (or instead of the 9/11 memorial / museum)?

8:30 - Dinner reservation in Piano Room of Fraunces Tavern. (Any thoughts or alternatives to this one? Also considered Eataly or Chinatown)
10:30ish - Head back to the hotel via the PATH
