New York City Things to Do Tips by Digi

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of the most widely visited landmarks in New York, and for good reason. It houses some of the finest peices of art in the world, and covers all types of art from ancient Egyptian art, to modern Art.

The museum is so large, that one could spend an entire day there, and even get lost.

One of the biggest attractions in my opinion is the Egyptian wing, where several Egytpiain buildings have been preserved, complete with mummies and all the like.

It's best not to take any bags or jackets with you since you may have to check them once you enter the museum, and the check-in process can take up to half an hour on a busy day (like Friday)

Directions: Take the 4, 5, or 6 to 86th Street. As always, you can drive, but in Manhattan that can be pain in the butt.

Having Central Park in the center of Manhattan is a stroke of genius. It is an immenslely large park, and provides a nice place to relax away from the noise of New York City.

It is also a great place to explore, especially on a nice summer or spring day. There is a lot do and see in Central Park, and you could spend an entire trip to New York just exploring it. It streteches for over 50 blocks from Columbus Circle to the border of Harlem and divides Manhattan into its East and West sides.

Within the park, there are maps all over the park that should help direct you to your location. If you get lost, there should be police around to help you. If you ever do get lost, I suggest heading in one direction so that you can get to the edge and figure out where you are.

Central Park is much safer than it was in the past, but I wouldn't advise traveling around in the middle of the night. I did once cross the park at about 4am, but I practically ran, it's really eerie to see the park completely dead and dark.

There is a lot do here. During the warmer months you can often find performances in different parts of the park. There are some castles to explore, and you can even rent a boat and paddle across one of the large lakes within. Not to mention, there are numerous Museums on the edges of the park.
