The one piece of advice i would add is to batch your activities together by location if possible. If there is 2 -3 activities/events that are within walking distance of other I would group them together to save time and money using public transportation.

Everyone forgets to mention the views from the promenade in Brooklyn HEIGHTS YOU CAM SEE THE south Street Seaport, BMW bridges, Lower Manhattan amd from what I remember, you can see the Statue of Liberty.

I love this collab! 😀 Megan has such good advice.

I am also a NYC tour guide and Megan has been one of my dearest friends for over a decade. And I'm a Wolters World fan so I was tickled pink to see this collaboration!

The two questions I get from my tourists the most often are "What would an apartment in this neighborhood cost me?" and "Where were you on 9/11?" But, of course, those don't contain actual travel advice so I totally respect why they wouldn't be in this video. Thank you for highlighting one of the true stars of our city and our industry!

I visited New York City for the first time in July 2021 from Dallas, & plan on going again this Summer. One advice I can give is to also explore the other boroughs. I love Manhattan, but it's way too touristy & most don't ever explore Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens or Staten Island. Definitely explore Brooklyn & Queens. Maybe catch a Yankees game in the Bronx & visit the NYC Zoo there too. To me, it's the "real, authentic New York" are the boroughs outside of Manhattan. As always, great content & a loyal watcher of your videos, Mark!

Great questions. Thanks for sharing your knowledge about NYC. 🙌

I'm a lifetime New Yorker. This advice is spot on.

One World Observatory is awesome. A must go.

I spent only three days in New York back in October as part of a trip to multiple cities on the East Coast. I went to Liberty Island and went up to the crown, and it’s absolutely worth it. One of the most incredible experiences of my life

[yaowsers]

she is correct. also, the cold months, the garbage and bad smells aren't bad. and a one day trip - i feel like it depends on what you are looking to achieve. food? touristy stuff? museums? broadway show? i'm going to be going 3 times in the next three months. a food trip, a broadway show trip, and i think i'm exploring the seaport area.

[davidpalmer]

For a first-timer, I'd ask what their focus is. Is it food? Is it Broadway? Is it museums? Is it parks? I mean, if you love art, you can spend an entire day in The Met, for example. The key to enjoying yourself in NYC is having somewhat of a plan. Just wandering around can feel frustrating, especially if you aren't used to crowds.

My choice for a starting point would be Grand Central. Grab a bagel or a black and white cookie, and a coffee, and take in the architecture.

Wow!!! Wolters World and Meagan together talking about my hometown and greatest city in the world!!! Holy cow!!! What a great thing! Thank you!

[davestrasburg]

lnteresting video. As to the observation decks, as she implies, all are worthwhile; she favors One World Trade Center, but my favorite is The Edge, where 33rd Street ends at the Hudson River, which also has super-friendly, helpful personnel.
Regarding the airports, even though l have never flown into or out of Newark, l believe what she said about that airport.

I hit a few of these places. Absolutely love the pizza in NYC. Nothing against Chicago but NYC is where it's at for a slice. 🍕

[colormedubious]

Don't plan to eat at specific restaurants! The best dining in NYC is unplanned dining. All the food is decent there, because crappy restaurants don't survive for long. On my last visit, some of the best food I ever had in my entire life included: a fully loaded hot dog from a random street vendor near the WTC, a thinly-sliced-meatball pizza from a random diner in Long Island City, and a club sandwich from a random deli in Coney Island. The next time I'm up there, I plan to make a pilgrimage to Gray's Papaya, but only because I've had some of their food shipped to me and want to try it freshly prepared.

I have been to NYC more times than I can remember, & I feel that any time of the year is good for visiting that city! There's always lots to do over there!

Great video! If people head down to NYU area we used to eat at La Lanterna and Lupa pretty frequently. Great places!
