This is the ULTIMATE New York City Travel Guide heaping full of things to do in NYC on your first trip to NYC.
People spend their entire life in NYC and still leave New York City corners unturned, so how can you possibly conquer all the New York things to do during a short visit. Fortunately, you’ve run into a licensed New York City tour guide with over a DECADE of experience. This list of 16 NYC must-sees was put together after countless conversations with tourists from all over the world about what created the best and most lasting NYC memories.
Throughout this guide, there are several companies listed. NONE of them are sponsored. This is all my own personal opinions, and every experience I’ve had thus far is an experience I spent my own money on. They are NYC experiences I absolutely loved and felt were worth the price!

from whichhe you prity derling?
Great video. Thanks for the tips!
We plan to visit NYC in October, and that will be our first time. I really appreciate your videos and find them very helpful. We'll try streetfood, like you suggested, but would love to taste the best NY bagels (because we've been told not to miss it). Do you have any recommendations, if we eat glutenfree and organic? Can we get that kind somewhere in or around Central Park?
I'll be the tour guide for the hoods of NYC. That's where the real fun is at! Can't just stay downtown. Gotta come uptown too to spots like the Apollo on 125th and other spots in upper Manhattan where the food is good. Pizza is good but you gotta get a chopped cheese from a Bodega! You gotta experience walking through the projects and just taking a seat on the benches. You wanna experience the real NYC you gotta get outta the bright lights sometimes and go where it's a lil gritty!
Would you recommend going to New York alone?, as I'm thinking of going.
Watched the video AFTER our NY-trip 😂, but it seems that we did it not too bad during our 9 days 😊. I absolutely agree to what you say about the Tenement museum. What an unexpected jewel, we had such a great guided tour there and it was amazing to hear and see so much immigration history in such a personal way. At the end of the tour it was almost as if we knew the family we followed listening to their Story told by the excellent guide ❤
Tony Dinapolis and carmines 2 of my favorite Italian places to eat with a family style menu!!
We will be there is August ❤
Do you give the Torres in Spanish?
Going New York in August Megan love ❤️ your video , I’m from london England 🏴 my first time
WAIT – the subway is both the cheapest AND least expensive way to get around the city? No way!!

Thx for sharing.

Eww this was s bad😂😂😂
SO MUCH FUN WATCHING IDE LOVE TO VISIT NEW YORK AND FREEDOM TOWEL
What, no side trips to the migrant shelters? Your tour didn’t include this.
Hi! which airport in NY is the nearest to NYC attractions?
Wow, next week I'll be there and will try to visit all of these places, thanks a lot!
I just found this and wanted to view it since I'm in NYC a lot, and wondered if I am missing something. I must say that I go to the 9/11 memorial, but I have never been in the museum. That day was so horrific and embedded in my psyche that I don't think I could emotionally handle the museum. Maybe someday I'll be able to settle myself from the horror and do so. Thanks for your video.
