Discussions tagged “things to do”

I'm planning my first trip to New York City and I'm overwhelmed by the number of things to do. I know the usual suspects like the Statue of Liberty, Times Square, and Central Park are must-sees, but I'm also interested in some hidden gems and local favorites. I've heard great things about places like the High Line, the Cloisters, and some amazing food spots in Brooklyn. How do I balance the tourist attractions with the local experiences? What are some must-try foods and unique activities? Any tips for navigating the city would be greatly appreciated!
