Tourist attractions worth checking out?
Hey, All. I'm going to New York City (by myself!), and I want some ideas about which attractions to see. I don't really care if it's touristy--I want to see it all--I'm just not really sure where to start!

Early one morning, grab a coffee (perhaps from One Girl Cookies ) and take a walk around Dumbo in Brooklyn . I can never get over the view of Manhattan from Brooklyn Bridge Park . In Manhattan, I think Top of the Rock is a nice alternative to the Empire State Building because you get a really lovely view of Central Park (and you can get the ESB in your photos)! The other suggestions from Soleil and Drew are spot on.

Breakfast at Balthazar Restaurant is a classic. You'll see the New York digerati tuck in to pain au chocolat.
High Line Park . Take a walk and see what all the fuss is about.

If you want to see the Statue of Liberty , I'd definitely recommend taking the Staten Island Ferry . It's free and a great way to see her.
Cross Brooklyn Bridge , stroll around Central Park , walk along the High Line Park .
I also thought the 9/11 Memorial Visitor Center was quite impressive but I did find lines quite long except for quite early in the morning.
I'd say visits to Guggenheim Museum , MOMA and Empire State Building are musts for a first visit to NYC.
