Tips

If you’d like to extend your stay, consider adding a day for a Broadway show and a visit to the American Museum of Natural History. To shorten the trip, you can combine the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Guggenheim into a single morning and replace one museum visit with a relaxed afternoon in Central Park. Either way, the city’s extensive subway system makes it easy to adjust the itinerary on the fly.
