Everyone loves New York City. If you ever talk to someone who had never been there and recently visited, they will rave about it all day. The energy in New York City is always high and there’s a lot to do.


Actually, there’s so much to do that it’s impossible to see it all in one trip. Therefore, we have listed the top 5 things to do in New York so that you can plan your trip better. However, consider booking your accommodation in advance; rooms in this town are known to go fast.

1. Sporting Events

The New York Yankees are the most storied and successful sports team in the United States. They’re a contender to win the World Series every year. In football, the New York Giants and New York Jets are always the competitors. As far as basketball and hockey go, there’s nothing like watching a game at Madison Square Garden. It’s an electric vibe that sticks with you well after the game.

2. Broadway Shows

Prior to seeing a show, be sure to walk around Times Square. This in itself is exciting. The pace is so fast that it’s almost surreal. As far as shows go, if you’re traveling with family, see The Lion King. If you’re with friends or a significant other, see Wicked. Both are incredible experiences.

3. Cruise Around Manhattan

This is the best way to see and appreciate the New York City skyline. It’s a beautiful cruise that will take your breath away. You can choose between a small charter boat and a huge luxury cruise ship. This will depend on how much you want to spend and if you want a meal with your trip. Regardless of what you choose, if you’re traveling with someone you love, this is a great place to propose.

4. Downtown

A trip to New York City isn’t complete without a visit to Downtown. This is where you’ll find Little Italy, Chinatown, SoHo, and Greenwich Village. Little Italy has the finest pizza and Italian food in the country, Chinatown has the best Chinese food as well as amazing discount shopping. SoHo is the ideal spot for anyone into art, and Greenwich Village shows you an alternative world when it comes to lifestyle.

5. Central Park

Walking around the park is nice, but there is so much more to do. You can go to the zoo, suntan on one of the large lawns, watch your kids play on a playground, play tennis, play softball, have a picnic and more.

If you do everything on this list, you will have a great time. Remember to book your New York accommodation well ahead of time.
