New York City is a feast for the senses. As the lyrics to the famous Sinatra tune, “New York, New York” attest, the Big Apple is the city that never sleeps! Since this bustling metropolis features 468.484 square miles to play in, plus a population of approximately eight and a half million, there is certainly no shortage of attractions and activities.

Sometimes, the sheer size and scale of the city make it hard for tourists to know where they should go and what they should do. They are overwhelmed by all of the options!

If you’re planning a visit to New York City, our guide to three fun things to do should help you to put together an itinerary which is truly superb. We’re here to narrow down the choices a bit. We want to help you plan a Big Apple adventure that makes you really happy.

To give you a well-rounded experience, we’re going to focus on one big attraction, one amazing activity and one exceptional eatery. Make these three “things to do” the centrepiece for your itinerary…and then go from there!

Also, we recommend keeping a little time free to just wander and take everything in. Some tourists over-schedule their time. This is why there is great value in choosing just a few core things to do. You may flesh out your itinerary as you go along. Give yourself an ideal blend of scheduled things to do and spontaneity.

1.) Big Attraction – Book a Pedicab Tour of Central Park

Central Park is a stunning oasis which is found right in the heart of one of the world’s most exciting, busy and fast-paced cities. When you book a pedicab tour of the park, you’ll be able to relax as your pedicab operator pedals you around the park…and shares information about the park’s most fascinating features. Pedicabs feature comfy, padded seats for one, two (and sometimes three) passengers. Pedicabs give passengers the power to see the park without walking or cycling. The operator does all of the pedalling, which means that passengers are free to enjoy the many splendid vistas of Central Park.

New York City

When you choose an affordable pedicab tour from a trusted and reputable provider company, you’ll see so many wonderful Central Park attractions. Tours vary in duration. Routes vary, too. Choose the right tour for your tastes and budget. In general, we think that these tours are cost-effective choices. They cost so much less than a lot of Big Apple activities and they provide superb value for the money. As well, it’s really simple to book a tour online or by phone. People do it all of the time!

Central Park is filled with attractions that are beautiful, as well as historically significant. For example, Strawberry Fields, which is a touching tribute to the late musical legend, John Lennon, is well worth a visit. The Reservoir, which Jackie Kennedy Onassis used to jog by frequently (during the period when she worked as an editor at Doubleday) is also a great place to check out.

Other interesting attractions include picturesque Bethesda Fountain and Cleopatra’s Needle, which is a 3,500-year-old Egyptian obelisk.

These attractions just scratch the surface. When you book a Central Park pedicab tours (one-hour, two-hour and three-hour tours are available), bring your camera and prepare to glide through the park without needing to tire yourself out.

Gossip Girl Tour NYC on pedicab make it so easy for people to experience the magic of Central Park and Upper East Side, up close and personal.

2.) Amazing Activity – The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)

MoMA is considered one of the best museums in New York City. Located at 11 West 53rd St., it’s a place that celebrates modern creativity. You won’t need to be an art expert to enjoy this type of activity. You may stroll around at your own pace and take in some gorgeous and compelling exhibits. You’ll get a little exercise and also have time for plenty of mentally stimulating contemplation.

In 2017, there have been some wonderful exhibits, including a Frank Lloyd Wright retrospective. At MoMA, the great exhibits just keep on coming. When you choose this amazing activity, you’ll drink in beauty with a modern twist, as you explore a museum which captures the progressive spirit of the Big Apple. This museum is one of the best places on the planet to see thought-provoking contemporary art.

New York City

If art isn’t really your thing, consider another museum which is more in keeping with your interests. Other options to consider are The National September 11 Memorial Museum (which ensures that the memory of 9/11 victims is always honoured) and The American Museum of Natural History, which features forty-six permanent exhibits, as well as optional access to Hayden Planetarium.

3.) Indulge in Fine Cuisine at Babbo Ristorante Enoteca

The food scene in the Big Apple is spectacular. If you want a one really fancy meal during your time in the city (and most tourists do!), we think that you should consider Babbo. It’s a carriage house eatery which serves the sophisticated Italian cuisine of renowned chef, Mario Batali. Situated at 110 Waverly Pl. in Greenwich Village, this restaurant is known for its exceptional pasta dishes and caring service.

New York City

Babbo made Batali the icon that he is. If you want the sort of gourmet meal that makes you feel pampered, satisfied and at peace, you should know that treating yourself to the Babbo experience will be well worth the money! At lunch, start off with an exquisite antipasti, such as Prosciutto San Daniele (served with grapes and horseradish). Then, move onto Linguine with Clams and Hot Chilies. Don’t forget dessert. Saffron Panna Cotta is a good dessert option to consider. Another is Roasted White Chocolate Cheesecake.

New York City

Dinner is also served at this five-star, high-end Italian restaurant. Your meal won’t be inexpensive. However, it will probably make you feel like royalty. As well, Babbo is just so New York! It’s been around since 1998, so it’s not as old as some famous New York restaurants. However, it’s definitely become an important part of Big Apple culture and history.

Plan a Great Trip Today

A pedicab tour in Central Park will allow you to get outside and breathe in some fresh air. Studies have shown that people naturally relax in park settings, so your pedicab tour will be a perfect way to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city streets for just an hour or two. You’ll feel refreshed as you sit in comfort while your tour operator shows you all of the sights.

Next, hit your preferred museum. We love MoMA, but there are so many choices. It’s good to experience the culture that this city is known for. Also, visiting a museum is a great option when it’s a rainy or overcast day. You’ll be warm and comfortable inside of a museum. You’ll be surrounded by beauty and interesting information and you’re bound to be enriched by the whole experience. Also, we love the affordability and family-friendliness of most of the Big Apple’s museums, including MoMA.

New York City

Then, prepare to a feast by making a reservation at Babbo. Try to make the reservation as early as you can. If you can’t get a reservation, consider Tavern on the Green. It’s right in Central Park, it’s fancy and it’s legendary. You might want to go there for a meal after your pedicab tour.

Now that you have the inside scoop on three fun things to do in New York City, it’ll be easier to plan a trip that is unforgettable.

I am never a fan of getting myself clicked but a tryst with history had a fan girl moment in me.
🏵️
During my graduation in history from Delhi University, I was a big fan of Roman history. So when I was actually in a historical place right out of my books, I couldn't stop myself from getting?

Often listed amongst the best beaches in the world, Anse Lazio in Praslin, Seychelles truly open gates to altogether new world. And let me tell you, reaching here was quite a journey. One has to reach the bottom of the hill to Zimbabwe either by car or bus, then one has to trek over a large forested jungle clad hill and along some way before you reach the beach. But the journey is well worth the effort with views that take your breath away perfect with fine white sands and gorgeous turquoise waters that are so clear you can watch the fish swim around you, it's no surprise Anse Lazio is frequently called 'the best beach in the world'.

When traveling, definitely discover a Beverage destination. We headed to the @Takamaka Rum Seychelles distillery with @Creole Travel Services where we fell in love with the slow pace, exquisite beach and two barrel aged rums. The Extra Dark is aged twice, first in French Oak and then in reused Bourbon casks for three years and the St. Andre which has been aged for eight years in American Bourbon casks. Which one should we get back for tasting?
