Things To Do
Ver a Jaime Correr el NYC Marathon - Only on 11/06/22
The world’s most famous and biggest marathon happens in New York in November and attracts thousands of runners and visitors every year. The TCS NYC Marathon is organized by the New York Road Runners and is considered a goal of every runner (next to the Boston Marathon). The course is no walk in the park either and can be very demanding of the athletes. It starts in Staten Island, then runs through Brooklyn to Manhattan. So if you’re in New York during the Marathon, make sure to check it out and show the runners support! The crowd makes a huge difference and motivates the athletes.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art
Dato curioso: el primer date de Andrea y Jaime fue en este museo. Año y par de meses más tarde, es en este museo, en la sala favorita de Andrea (la que ven en la foto) que Jaime le pide la mano.
Long Island City Ferry
El costo del ferry es $2.75. Si lo toman desde Long Island City hacia el Financial District, hace paradas en Midtown (Manhattan), Brooklyn, terminando en el Financial District (sur de Manhattan).

Ice Skating @ Bryant Park, Central Park, or Rockefeller Center
Ya para Noviembre las pistas de patinaje van a estar montadas. Las que recomendamos son: 1-Bryant Park - The Bank of America Winter Village at Bryant Park returns on October 29 with its holiday festivities, shopping and food. Its 17,000-square-foot ice-skating rink that's free to use (if you bring your own skates) is the highlight, while more than 60 shopping and food kiosks are there to peruse—all at one of the best NYC parks. 2-Central Park 3-Rockefeller Center - Admission prices range from $20-$54 per person depending on the date and time of day. Skate rentals are available for $10.
Bryant Park
The Winter Village at Bryant Park Holiday Market is a European inspired open air market with over 170 unique artisans from around the world. The shops are housed in custom-designed, “jewel box” kiosks and surround the entire Bryant Park Ice Skating Rink. When you’re shopped out, or just need a break, there’s dozens of great food options, like their food kiosks, Bryant Park Grill and Café, Southwest Porch, Public Fare and The Lodge, a food hall operated by Urbanspace located rinkside near the Upper Terrace.
Central Park
One of the most beautiful retreats in Manhattan is Central Park. If you’re in New York in November, make sure to check it out as there is always something going on at every corner. The trees are now in a deep red-orange autumnal color which gives the park a beautiful aesthetic. You can just stroll around Central Park, ride your bike, or take a guided tour. Also, try not to miss the Imagine Mosaic. The Imagine mosaic is the John Lennon Central Park memorial made in 1980. Located in Central Park West, Lennon’s Strawberry Fields memorial is near West 72nd Street. Visitors can see The Dakota apartment building in the background. The view is purposeful: it’s a few hundred yards from the spot where the former Beatles member was shot dead on Dec. 8, 1980.
American Museum of Natural History
In Theodore Roosevelt Park, across the street from Central Park, the museum complex comprises 26 interconnected buildings housing 45 permanent exhibition halls, in addition to a planetarium and a library.

The High Line
The High Line is a 1.45-mile-long (2.33 km) elevated linear park, greenway and rail trail created on a former New York Central Railroad spur on the west side of Manhattan in New York City. The High Line's design is a collaboration between James Corner Field Operations, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, and Piet Oudolf. The abandoned spur has been redesigned as a "living system" drawing from multiple disciplines which include landscape architecture, urban design, and ecology. The High Line was inspired by the 4.7 km (2.9 mi) long Promenade plantée (tree-lined walkway), a similar project in Paris completed in 1993.
