5 Things to Do in New York City

New York is a fantastic city to play in, and living here ain’t half bad either. There’s plenty to do here and lots to go see. And I don’t mean to limit you to just five things, but let’s face it: who can really get all of that done?

Let’s just give you five things to start with.
  1. Visit Central Park - this is a huge park, and it’s iconic to the city itself. It’s filled with bums and crooks and hucksters but if you can get past it you’ll find some truly beautiful parkland.
  2. Dine-In - New York is a hustling city. It’s huge and busy and crowded. That doesn’t change the fact that there are some great restaurants and things worth seeing in this town. Slow down. Take your time.
  3. Visit the Memorial - it’s New York City. You know the one I’m talking about. I’ve been on the anniversary of the attacks, and... it was something. I can’t say much more than that.
  4. Walk - for love of Allah, don’t take a taxi. They’re expensive, and they take forever to get you where you want to go. Take a subway if you absolutely have to get somewhere, but for heaven’s sake enjoy the scenery and go for a walk.
  5. Neighborhoods - this is where you get a real feel for the melting pot of cultures. It’s great food and low prices. I kid you not.
