“Do this not that” New York City
Guest post by Laura
Sometimes it’s better to here where to go from the locals. Here are four alternatives for tourist attractions in NYC.
1 – Instead of seeing the Empire State Building, go to the Top of the Rock
The line to go to the top of the Empire State Building is incredibly long (at times 2+ hours) whereas the wait to go to the Top of the Rock is significantly less. You also have an unobstructed view 360 degrees of the city and you can get a photo of the Empire State Building.

2 – Instead of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), go to P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center
If you’d like to go to the MoMA, then go on a Friday afternoon when it’s free admission however, as are most attractions in NY it is packed and the line extends well around the block. Instead head to P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center which is an affiliate of the MoMA and houses artwork of future artists. The admission cost is more affordable at $10 for adults, rather than the $25 for the MoMA and it is located in Queens which is a great borough to explore.

3 – Instead of taking a cruise around Manhattan, take the Staten Island Ferry
The main reason to take the Staten Island Ferry is it’s FREE. Just catch the ferry at Whitehall and Water St and you’ll have a beautiful view of the skyline. Once you get to Staten Island, you can either hop back on and turn back or check out a Yankee game – the Staten Island Yankees are a farm team for the New York Yankees so you may see the next Derek Jeter in action.
4 – Instead of going to FAO Schwarz, go to the Toys “R” Us in Times Square
FAO Schwarz has a long history and was shown in the movie “Big” which attracts plenty of tourists, however if you’re going to go to a toy store – go to the Toys “R” Us in Times Square. It’s unique in that there is a working ferris wheel in the middle of the store and among other interesting displays there is also a life size Barbie house that visitors can actually go in (adults included!).

I lived in NYC for five years — these are great ones! This post made me want to go back. It’s been way too long.
Laura had indeed some good tips – especially for those that don’t have a lot of time to spend there and to find the best places to see. So, beside “the usual suspects” she shared some wonderful options.
I hope you’ll have the time – at least for a short trip there.
Some great tips there, unfortunately I’ve come to them a bit too late as I’ve done most of the original things. Oh well, if I ever go again and will make sure I do as you say!
I’m sorry the tips come too late for you – but who knows: maybe you’ll get back in NYC sometime!
