Best time to visit in the AM, first or second ferries because the line can be long, please note that this requires at least 3 to 4 hours otherwise we are in a rush. $ Entry Fee.
Observation
Spectacular views of the city, as much as I adore the Empire State Building the line can be long, I often suggest Top of the Rock. Night visits it seems the stars about below your feet. $ Entry Fee.
Brooklyn Bridge
Something to behold, walking, it is a lovely connection to some lovely neighbor-hoods, sharing its history and lore can be had on either side of the East River. Don't miss it.
Washington Square

Central Park
843 acres of green space right in the middle of the city is a haven and a delight for locals as well as visitors with so much to see. Truly need a guide for this particularly if you have limited time.
