It's an unpleasant city too. I really don't like the place. You can see the tourist bits cost effectively if you have a basic level of fitness. I took a subway to ground zero from times square and walked back. You can eat cheaply too if you find the cheap pizza places.
Funny but I love NYC
Lots of free museums
Visit Staten Island via ferry, eat breakfast then enjoy the view again on the way back
Central Park on a sunny day - walk or picnic
Subway to Coney Island
Bronx zoo
Visit different neighborhoods via subway to sample beer and food

I like it too but it’s hitting my wallet hard lol

Racked up some brutal step counts too.
 
Did about 160k steps in 6 days. Enjoyed the places I went to that were a bit more relaxed. Williamsburg, LES, Harlem, Upper East Side. Didnt make it to Bronx unfortunately. Still the one borough I haven’t been to. On the list for next time
 
Afternoon game today at Citi Field (Mets/Cubs) if you’re still in town
In NJ now unfortunately. There was a Yankees game last week but my mate was not up for it. Might check if there are any games next week. Watched one of the Knicks playoff games in a sports bar though which was fun
 
Off to Riga for 3 nights next week. Any decent bar or restaurant recommendations?

Seems small enough to just walk everywhere tho and try lots of places. Will check a couple of museums too.

Always hope to find a decent indie or rock bar/club wherever I go but not seeing much like that
 

That will do us. The plan is to relax for a few days so not too fussed on sightseeing. Some good food and a few beers each day will keep me happy.

Going to do a day trip on the ferry to Saranda, Albania also to mix things up.
Off to Corfu for a party, with a gang of mates in 2 weeks time. We were late to commit, so no cheap flights from London left. All crazy £ really.

Plan b now happening, flights to Tirana, Albania @ £45, then a 5 hour bus trip to Saranda @ £12, 3 night stop-over there, before catching the ferry to Corfu. Less than £100 quid for the 3 nights in what looks like a decent hotel in Saranda.

The Mrs doesn’t yet know the exact logistic details of our trip to Corfu. The wtf surprise at the Stansted departure gate should be fun !

It’s been years since I’ve been there but I recall a casino who had a panoramic roof top bar which was cool.

Just googled it, it’s called the skyline bar.
