Things To Do

General Grant National Memorial

The resting place of Ulysses S. Grant.

American Museum of Natural History

Night at the Museum anyone? This Museum is 4 blocks wide by an avenue long and 4 floors. Basically... its HUGE! Eva brought Connor to see the Dinosaur wing because she knew he loved dinosaurs! The dinosaur wing is one of the best and takes about 2 hours+ to go through.

Central Park

There are so many places to visit in Central Park. Skip the Zoo! Strawberry Fields, The Fountain, Bethesda Terrace and Fountain, The Ramble, Belvedere Castle, The Mall. You can honestly get lost in the park and it should be all beautiful shades of orange, yellow and green.

St. Patrick's Cathedral

The Godfather has scenes filmed in the Cathedral and it is also one of the most beautiful Churches. Open to the public daily and worth a visit!

Radio City Music Hall

Intrepid Museum

Our Aircraft Carrier Museum - Explore a WWII-era aircraft carrier, get nose-to-nose with NASA’s original space shuttle orbiter, discover the secrets of a guided nuclear missile submarine and get an up-close look at our collection of historic aircraft.

TKTS Discount Same Day Broadway Tickets

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers

A taste of home for all you Mid-Westerners, but NY style. Psst...ask them to butter both sides of your toast!

Harry Potter New York

Enter the World of Wizardry in NYC

Little Island

Connor and Eva took a walk here and this is where Eva first spoke to Ken and Sheila on the phone, disappointing them with her lack of New York accent!

The High Line

Want to escape the city and still see it. The High Line gives you a break from the city's hustle and bustle. One of the best ways to take in the views of Manhattan. Several entries to get on the 1.45 mile elevated linear par that was a former NY railroad.

Chelsea Market

Indoor shopping and food. Decorated for the holidays!

9/11 Memorial & Museum

9/11 Memorial Pools and Museum. Allocate about 3-4 hours to tour the museum.

FDNY Memorial Wall

The first firehouse to respond to the 9/11 attack, walking distance from the pools and the museum

St. Paul's Chapel

Chapel building of Trinity Church. All of the buildings surrounding the area had windows blown out and the Church which sits directly across the street from the World Trade Center site suffered no physical damage.

Trinity Church

Gravesites of Alexander Hamilton, Eliza Hamilton, Angelica Schuyler, Robert Fulton, and many other famous people throughout history are able to be seen. Not to mention Hugh Gaine rests here bringing Connor's roots to NYC.

Irish Hunger Memorial

South Street Seaport Museum

Beautiful place to visit. Nestled underneath the Brooklyn Bridge is a neighborhood a few steps away from the Financial District. Cobblestone streets, boats, shopping, seafood restaurants.

Jackson Hole Burgers

Only-in-NY personality and probably the best burgers in the country. You might want to think about sharing they're pretty big! Eva brought Connor here after they walked back to the hotel downtown from Times Square. He had the Macaroni and Cheese burger! Don't forget to try the Vanilla Egg Cream a NYC Classic beverage! P.S. there is no egg in an egg cream.

Rosetta Pizza

Downtown and looking for a great pizza? You have hundreds of options in NYC, but Rosetta is the best one we think. You can choose all different types of slices from normal slices to Caesar salad slice, to BBQ chicken, to penne vodka. Try the garlic knots for the table!

Veniero's Pasticceria & Caffe

The best patisserie EVER. We mean it! Anything you try will be absolutely delicious, Connor's favorite is any of the cheesecakes. (Eva flew one in for Connor's birthday and especially for Connor's Nephew Owen to have some!) Eva's favorite is the banana strawberry chocolate shortcake. For something a little lighter, try a millefoglie and you can never go wrong with cannoli's.

Staten Island Ferry

Staten Island Ferry from NYC to Staten Island is a free Ferry that takes you right past the Statue of Liberty for a photo opportunity!
