First time visiting NYC. What are the "musts"? I've never been in the US in the first place, so everything here is kinda new.
So far I've taken a picnic at central park, eaten pretty good pizza, visited a shake shack, taken the subway everywhere. I checked out natural history museum and transit museum as well earlier, intrepid is in the schedule next week.
I wanted to visit a costco, but apparently they're a member only place. I guess I'm going to check out Macy's and oakley store at least tomorrow.
I like your city and most of you guys seem pretty friendly and caring. Some elderly lady even stopped yesterday to ask if I needed help when I was checking out google maps on my phone on the sidewalk.
Have you checked out places like the East and/or Greenwich Village, and SoHo? Have you been to Queens or Brooklyn yet? I typically just enjoy going for after breakfast walks around some neighborhoods around the city.

Sounds like you've already done some musuems, but maybe the MoMa? iirc it's pay-what-you-want to get in.
I've walked quite a bit this week around queens, brooklyn and manhattan. In fact I even got some blisters :) I've walked along manhattan bridge and I'm going to walk the brooklyn bridge as well too.

I'll be flying into NYC at about 215 PM Eastern today!
This will be my 4th trip to NYC, I love that city. Check out Coney Island and while your down in that area, go eat at L&B Spumoni Gardens. Get a couple slices of pie and some spumoni.

I can't think of anything special on Staten Island, but you should take the (free) ferry there and back, to see the harbor while resting your feet.

You can get great looks at Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty if you take the free Staten Island ferry

>wants to visit Costco
seriously?
Gonna be living in NYC for a month this summer for work. Should I get a subway pass or bring my bike? Does the Amtrak vermonter service allow bikes?
going to NYC next week
where do i go to exchange my money to US dollars? i would think any currency converters at the airport will overcharge you
>>1117599
Where the fuck are you coming from and staying that costs 11k?

Had to bring my family with me, so three people, three weeks.
My kid goes to sleep pretty early in the evening so I had to get an accommodation with a separate bedroom and those dont come cheap. I'm staying in manhattan.

Just use ATMs and draw money off your credit card? It costs something like $3.5 for $100.

> Should I get a subway pass or bring my bike?
What I've seen, I'd do both. Subway is a really comfy way to get around quickly, but for shorter distances it would be quicker to get around on a bike. Bike's gotta be a beater, though.

Im living and working in manhattan, does that change anything? i want to bring my retro roadbike commuter pic related
>>1117945
Is that a fixie?
Swing that on over here, pal.
>>1117964
Not a fixie, no. And i plan to. I suspect Amtrak will charge me some bullshit fee for bringing it though.
