ROCS Holidays - 8 Day New York City

20 MUST DO THINGS FOR YOUR FIRST TIME IN NEW YORK CITY

• The Metropolitan Museum of Art

• A Flower Shop in NYC

• Enjoy the views from Brooklyn Bridge Park, Brooklyn Bridge Promenade (in Brooklyn Heights) and walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. Tip: The views walking from Brooklyn to Manhattan are more stunning. Go early in the morning to beat the crowds. • The photogenic spot in DUMBO is very famous with the tourists – it’s definitely worth a visit earlier in the morning when it is not packed! • Explore historic Lower Manhattan – Stone Street, Wall Street, The Oculus and the 9/11 Memorial. Don’t spend too much time at the Oculus, I love it for its unique architecture rather than the run of the mill shops you find at any mall in the USA. • Take the free Staten Island Ferry to see the Statue of Liberty. Note, please do not ride it during the morning or evening rush hour. Or, if you don’t mind splurging, book a cruise on the river with views of the Statue! • Go shopping at the lovely boutiques in SoHo and admire the architecture. My favorites are Sezane and McNally Jackson books followed by a stroll through Elizabeth Street Garden.
