New York City. The Big Apple. The City That Never Sleeps. Or maybe it just has a really bad case of insomnia. Whatever it is, there's no denying that this place has a certain je ne sais quoi. It's like a giant, noisy, smelly, amazing playground for adults who never really grew up.

| What To Do On New York City |
See and Be Seen
Let's start with the obvious: sightseeing. You can't come to New York and not see the Statue of Liberty. I mean, unless you're afraid of heights, or boats, or large green ladies. In that case, there's always the Empire State Building. Just be prepared to wait in line with a million other people who also think they're the main character.
Tip: Keep scrolling — each part adds context.
If you're more of an artsy fartsy type, there's the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It's so big, you could probably get lost in there for a week and still not see everything. Or, if you prefer your art with a side of weird, the Museum of Modern Art is your jam.
Tip: Look out for transitions like ‘however’ or ‘but’.
Eat, Drink, and Be Merry
New York food is a whole other level. Pizza? Legendary. Bagels? Iconic. Deli sandwiches? So big you'll need a bib. And let's not forget the endless array of international cuisines. You can find anything from Ethiopian to Uzbek here. Just be prepared to spend a small fortune on rent for your stomach.

Speaking of spending money, New York's nightlife is world-renowned. From dive bars to rooftop lounges, there's a place for everyone to let loose. Just remember to pace yourself. You don't want to wake up in Times Square with no idea how you got there.
Tip: Focus on sections most relevant to you.
Central Park: Nature's Escape in the Concrete Jungle
Okay, so New York is mostly concrete, but there's one oasis of green: Central Park. It's bigger than some small countries and it's packed with things to do. You can rent a boat, go for a run, have a picnic, or just people-watch. It's the perfect place to escape the city without actually leaving the city.
