Governors Island gives you a view of the Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Statue of Liberty and Staten Island. It's a great way to start & put an NYC tour into perspective.
The Staten Island & Governors Island ferries are right next to each other, so from South Ferry, head to SI, and go on an adventure back in time to Historic Richmond Town. It's a trek well worth it.
One of the worlds preeminent museums, with dinosaurs, meteors, and a couple of animals actually killed by Teddy Roosevelt. The planetarium is among the best & Central Park is across the street!
This is a hidden gem in Manhattan, with a medieval museum (part of the Met) & park situated at the north end of the island with incredible 360° views of the Hudson River, Palisades, Bronx & Manhattan.
There's few places as quintessential Brooklyn as Coney Island. Big personalities, great food (Nathan's, Totonno's) & amusements (Cyclone & the Cyclones) on the Atlantic make this one-of-a-kind BK.
