Just got back from 3days there with the family
WTC Memorial site worth a visit
Highline walk (mentioned above)
Visit at least one of the tall buildings (we did Top of the Rock at the Rockefeller at dusk)
Grand Central station has impressive architecture
Walking the island (and Brooklyn bridge) is best way to get a sense of the place
Was 20+ years since I’ve been. Shocked at how much has NOT changed.
Arrivals at JFK airports was just like stepping back in time. And a 1.5hr wait to get through security/immigration.
very few places do contactless payments – it’s weird signing for things on your card — and where they DO have chip and pin, watch out for the Fisher price size chip&pin terminals.
and be prepared to “wait in line”…my patience was wearing thin with all the waiting I had to do (restuarants, atttractions, traffic, airports, …, etc). I am not a patient person.
Still a great city to visit though
