  • Utilize public transportation. The traffic in New York City can be horrendous, but honestly, the public transit is pretty reliable. Try to purchase a public transportation pass to save some money.
  • Book your hotel in the area that you most want to explore. Most people underestimate the size of New York City, but by staying where you most want to visit, you'll have a lot of great spots right at your doorstep.

  • Visit the High Line
    Visit the High Line

    The High Line in New York City opened in the 21st century. It covers 1.5 miles and is a park that stands with the city's skyscrapers, therefore offering some of the best views of Manhattan's west side. A few different architects and designers created it. Historically, the High Line was home to freight train tracks. Over the years, the area sort of got left to rot and was overtaken by nature. Before long, it was set for demolition, until the New York City community worked together to develop the idea to turn it into something new for visitors and locals alike to enjoy.

    Best Time To Visit

    The park is only open for about eight hours every day, and it gets busiest in the evening. Try to visit around noon right when it opens to avoid the crowds.
  • Marvel at Times Square

This plaza is home to some of the best entertainment in the country and is also known for its giant advertisements and billboards that can be seen no matter where you look. This part of the city is the busiest area, but it's still completely worth visiting. There truly isn't an un-busy time to visit, but even just walking through will give you an authentic New York City experience.

    Chelsea Market is one of the best food halls in New York City. It's also home to some of the city's offices and even a shopping mall.

This was a popular spot for the Algonquin Indians to come and trade their many crops. Its prime location on the Hudson River made it ideal for exchanging with others.
