I'll be there starting July 27th.....already figured out the Statue of Liberty Crown is Sold Out for months but any tips on how to get around or things to see and do that are not as advertised as the regulars. Also what's the most cost effective way to get from the airport to hotel, I was thinking Uber but then I realized there's tolls for some roads. Any info is appreciated!
 
Avoid Times Square

Go to Habana in Brooklyn

Check out the many museums

Train is the best way to get around Manhattan and Brooklyn, Uber everywhere else

Keep your wallet in your front pocket
 
Sbarro's is actually pretty good. At least it was whenever I bought slices at the mall.
 
I highly recommend "Sleep No More". Very trippy. Worth the price for the experience. You can visit the high line park before hand. It's an elevated train route turned park. Pomme Frites, Bauhaus, Midtown Poke, Vanessa's dumplings. Some of the best cheap spots. Yelp is pretty good for food spots. It's a quick train ride from Manhattan to Hoboken, NJ. You won't get a better view of the city. Plus you can pick up desserts from cakeboss while enjoying the view.
 
Check out Difara's Pizza.

If you're visiting the city, don't accept ANYTHING people give you. Just walk past them.
 
go for a walk on wall street after midnight... there is a calm vibe and its usually empty. kinda cool on weekends if you wanna smoke a blunt and not get harassed.. 

go to Coney Island just cause

take the ferry to staten island, just to see the SOL a lil closer... lol

go to a METS game 

go to Central Park enter from 5th or 6th ave and 60th

go to prospect park

take a train ride to flatbush and just walk around

take a train ride to harlem and just walk around...

The best cheap eats are in Chinatown; check out Xian Foods and don't forget to get a coconut from one of the street vendors. Also suggest checking out Amy Ruth's up in Harlem for delicious chicken and waffles (they have the best waffles in the city IMO).

Some other things to do:

- Walk the high line
- Rent a city bike and cruise along the Westside Highway path
- Check out the 9/11 memorial
- Southstreet Seaport
- Shop in SoHo/LES
- Max Fish
- Check out Mister Sunday's in Brooklyn for a chill daytime party
- Walk the Brooklyn Bridge
- Eat a cookie from Levain Bakery on the Upper West Side
- Shoot hoops at West 4th street
- Eat/chill at Boat Basin along the Hudson on the Upper West Side
- Best wings in the city are at Bar Coastal on the Upper East Side
- Smorgasburg in Williamsburg

Let me know if you have any questions, enjoy!! :smokin

Sex Museum in Manhattan. Go shoot some ball and lift weights at Flushing YMCA and.or LaGuardia CC in Queens (it's 5 dollars). Go to the SouthPole/Arizona factory in Jersey.
