Whether NYC is your earliest trip or you've been here many times before, a 7 days opens up a fortune of new and exciting things. And while it's nearly incredible to see everything—this itinerary is planned to permit you to visit the most celebrated sites, together with some of the lesser-known attractions, all of which give NYC its distinctive charm.
Day 1 : Midtown, Central Park & Museum Mile
Central Manhattan’s top attractions- Times Square, Fifth Avenue and Central Park.
Lots of people contemplate Midtown as Heart of New York. The signature attractions, includingTimes Square, the EmpireandRockefeller Centre, are world renowned and habitually featured in films.
For a sight of the brilliant magnificence of the city, take a speedy elevator up to the observation decks of theEmpire State Building. NYC's second-tallest structure (behindOne World Trade Centre) offers breath-taking views from the highest open-air observatory in the City.
Midtown also features some of the world's best shopping. Wander up 5th to visit famous Tiffany & Co., the flagship location ofSaks Fifth Avenueand toy storeFAO Schwarz. Later, atone for your worldly interests atSt. Patrick's Cathedral. This stunning edifice is the largest Gothic cathedral in the United States, with seating capacity for 2,500 and a giant organ equipped with 7,300 pipes.
Across the street from St. Patrick's isRockefeller Centre, home to NBC Studios, an ice-skating rink and a plaza that's houses annual Rockefeller Centre Christmas tree-lighting ceremony. For a different perspective on the City and Central Park, visitTop of the Rock, the observation deck located atop the famous “30 Rock” skyscraper. Underneath that building, you can explore a 2-mile-long concourse that houses a variety of shops and restaurants.
Lunch and After
The massive collections of theMuseum of Modern Art (MoMA)hold many of the art world's most cherished works, including Pablo Picasso'sLes Demoiselles d'Avignon, Vincent Van Gogh'sStarry Nightand Salvador Dalí'sThe Persistence of Memory. MoMA's cafeteria and its restaurant, The, are both excellent eateries, but there are plenty of inexpensive, casual options in the neighbourhood as well. Although they don't offer much by way of atmosphere—you'll have to find a place to sit—the award-winning food cartHalal Guys, a favourite of the office crowd, serves up spicy proteins (chicken or lamb) over rice at the corner of Sixth Avenue and 53rd Street.
Carry on up Fifth Avenue to visit the renowned institutions along the Upper East Side'sMuseum Mile, including the recently reopenedCooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, with its prints, textiles and new design library; theMuseum of the City of New York, which provides an in-depth look into NYC's past; and the Metropolitan, home to one of the most extensive collections of art, history and culture anywhere on earth. (Note: each of these is worth spending a full day in on their own.)
For those who'd rather spend time outdoors,Central Parkis the place to go. The 843-acre park is an oasis of trees, gardens, water features and Rolling Meadows. Don't miss attractions like theZoo, BethesdaandStrawberry Fields, named after The Beatles song "Strawberry Fields Forever" (John Lennon lived nearby, at the Dakota). Meanwhile, across the park on the Upper West Side, children and adults will love a visit to theAmerican Museum of Natural History, packed with exhibitions showcasing all manners of creatures living and extinct, including those toothy giant dinosaurs.
Dusk/Late Afternoon
Conceivably Midtown's most famous attraction—and, statistically speaking, the NYC's most visited—isTimes Square, site of the famous annual New Year's Eve celebration along with a host of other year-round entertainments. Among them: the Theatre District, where you can see new and classic Broadway musicals, comedies and dramas. Long-running shows likeChicago,WickedandThe Phantom of the Operahave delighted millions. (To peruse current shows, and buy tickets, visit ourBroadwaysection.) The area also contains a diverse selection of eateries. Nearby institutions likeBarbetta, serving Italian food in a chateau setting, andB. Smith's Restaurant, offering Southern cuisine, are two good choices along Restaurant Row. Forpost-theater dining,Carmine'sis a favorite for Italian food served family-style.

Lower Manhattan is rife with US history. The area has hosted some of the nation's most significant events, including the first inauguration of President George Washington and the founding of America's first bank (now theMuseum of American Finance). Start out with a weekday tour ofFederal Hall, where the first session of Congress took place in 1789, orCity Hall, the oldest building of its kind in the nation still serving its original municipal function. History buffs will further enjoy seeing President Washington's old stomping grounds,Fraunces Tavern, where period rooms, paintings and exhibits explore the tavern's importance to Revolutionary America. Within the tavern are a variety of rooms for eating and drinking: thePorterhouse Bar(with a small bites menu), theDingle Whiskey Bar(lots of Irish whiskeys) and theTallmadge Room, where you caneat American grub while surrounded by photos of past patrons.
Other aspects of American history can be gleaned by visiting theNational Museum of the American Indian,Ellis Islandand theStatue of Liberty, which can be viewed up close on aStatue Cruises tour; best to purchase tickets in advance. The iconic symbol of freedom can also be seen for free fromBattery Park, a 25-acre green space at the base of Manhattan that offers views of New York Harbor.
The area is also known as the seat of American finance, and no visit to Lower Manhattan would be complete without a trip to Wall Street.

While the New York Stock Exchange trading floor is closed to the public, the bronzeCharging Bullsculpture at nearby Bowling Green Park, symbolizing financial health, is always available for a photo op. For those looking to shop,Century 21is stocked with bargains. Expect to pay 40-to-70% below retail prices for designer duds.

Many visitors will want to pay their respects at the9/11 Memorial & Museum. The memorial is a moving tribute to those lost on September 11, 2001: twin reflecting pools, located in the footprints of the Twin Towers, afford quiet moments for contemplation. Located underground, the museum tells the story of the City's response to the tragedy through exhibitions and video installations. Meanwhile,One World Trade Center, the tallest building in the United States, now soars above the site.

Take a break from viewing NYC's monuments, skyscrapers and museums by engaging in two of our favourite activities: eating and shopping.
Post Dawn and Breakfast

Department stores likeBloomingdale's SoHoandOpening Ceremonyoffer a range of designers, while vintage havenThe Reformationreworks used apparel into affordable—and stylish—gear.
Restaurants in the area tend to be just as high powered. Tried-and-true, Balthazaroffers consistently excellent eats and similarly excellent people-watching, thanks in part to the mirrors hanging over the bar.The Dutch,Mercer KitchenandJack's Wife Fredaare also popular spots. If you can't wait for lunch, you can always try your luck atDominique Ansel Bakery, which made the Cronut a household word.
Lunch and After
NearbyNoHo(a short version of “North of Houston”), is a slice of a neighbourhood with extra-large appeal. The former stomping grounds of artists like Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat, and once the location for underground music club CBGB (now aJohn Varvatosstore), NoHo is still an undeniably cultural district. Hear live music atBowery Electric(in the evening), see theatrical performances atThe Public Theater(the same, usually)or view art at neighborhood galleryThe Hole.

Perhaps because of its proximity to NYU, the area teems with inexpensive restaurants; two standbys areMamoun's Falafelfor Middle Eastern favorites and Artichokefor ultra-thick pizza. But in keeping with the rest of the City, the neighborhood offers high-end fare as well.
