Tips
If you need to shorten the trip, combine Day 2 and Day 3 by visiting MoMA after a quick walk in Central Park, and skip the night cruise on Day 9. To extend your stay, add a day in Queens for the vibrant food scene at Flushing, or spend an extra day exploring the museums of the Upper West Side such as the Lincoln Center and the Children's Museum of Manhattan. Public subway passes are the most cost‑effective way to get around, and booking Broadway tickets in advance often yields better seats and prices.
