Guidebook for New York
Sightseeing
Make sure NOT to bring a backpack, no matter how small. You can wear a giant messanger bag over one shoulder, but their rule is this: "TWO STRAPS, HAVE TO USE A LOCKER." These lockers require a finger print to re-open, which failed us last time.

炮台公园
We like walking along the waterfront on a nice day.
Circle Line Sightseeing Cruises
12th AvenueI recommend taking the full island loop tour!
圣巴德利爵主教座堂
A gorgeous church, and a must-see no matter your religion!
Not a highlight for us to visit, but is an important must see. Prefer visiting at night when the lights illuminate and the crowds are not as overwhelming.
See after a late afternoon walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, or after a day of visiting the Statue of Liberty.

Food Scene
Love the vibe here. Love the food. Love the service. Currently my favorite restaurant in NYC. Great for any size group. Main room with dangling chandelier is gorgeous, however, we get placed in "library" area so we can actually carry a conversation without raising voices.

Arts & Culture
If you must pick only one museum to visit during your stay in NYC, this is the ONE! I love visiting evening hours on weekends, or show up early. We usually grab Halal food from in front and have picnic when weather good, but the buffet at the Cafeteria is convenient and good. If have time, the atmosphere for Petrie Court Cafe is great for brunch / lunch, but make reservations.
