I’ll visit New York City in a few weeks (for a week). What are some things that I should see/experience?

Doesn’t need to be an unknown attraction but maybe not something that is in every top 10 list.

So far I was advised to go to the Top of The Rock rather than the Empire State (since you can see the latter from the former).

    Here are some suggestions:

    Tours - Catacombs @ St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral, Speakeasy/Prohibition Tour, Underground Railroad (multiple cool locations) Museums - Tenement Museum, Ellis Island Museum, NY Historical Society, Merchant’s House Museum, Alice Austen House

    If you’re in Manhattan, Chelsea Market is definitely worth hitting up. Other places to check out are Chinatown (Manhattan), Greenpoint, Williamsburg, Brighton Beach (Brooklyn), Astoria, Flushing, Jackson Heights (Queens). Different neighborhoods are known for different cultures of food, so definitely look these up and see if there’s anything that interests you!
