Going to NYC for the first time for a long weekend with partner. I won’t have time to see everything; what stuff should I go do and or see? Thanks!

    Take the commuter ferry on the East River from Brooklyn to the Bronx. It’s far cheaper than the tourist ferries and the views are wonderful.

      Native New Yorker here - do not take any tourist ferries whatsoever. Do take the commuter ferries or even the Staten Island Ferry (free) for a pretty great view of Lady Liberty.

        Also, or perhaps instead, take the Staten Island ferry around sunset/twilight. Its free and has the best view of the city IMHO.

        Also? If you see baked ziti on pizza I would highly recommend it.
