If you’re visiting New York, you may want to avoid doing super touristy things, but let’s face it: if it’s your first visit, there are certain items you’re going to want to check off the list, and for good reason. New York has a lot of landmarks worth seeing. Chances are, the Statue of Liberty is on that list.

When the hazy days of summer begin, something magical happens in the middle of Central Park. Well seasoned actors walk the boards, talented directors set the scene, lighting and set designers create a space, and a technical crew bring it all together. Anyone who cares to watch can see the outcome: a fantastic piece of professional theatre– for FREE.

Don't think that the Museum of Childhood is only for kids, It's really interesting to see the exhibits. There's an amazing collection of dolls and teddy bears and it's free to enter.

Next time you’re in Grand Central with a friend, head downstairs to the Oyster Bar. No, you’re not going there to dine on the famed aphrodisiacs, though they do have some tasty bivalves on the half shell. The wonder you’re after is at the entrance of the historic restaurant.
