New York Sightseeing

It can be a challenge trying to figure out what to do in a city that has more sightseeing, activities and attractions than any other city on earth.  Here are a few tips:

*  Do your research!    The internet has a wealth of information on major and off-beat sightseeing in New York.  Arrive in the city with a plan on what you're going to do. 

* Wear Comfortable Shoes.  New York is a city of walkers and some of the best sightseeing tours are walking tours.  Don't even think of visiting one of our massive museums with the most comfortable shoes you own.  If you want to dress like a celebrity, great!  Wear jeans, athletic shoes, a t-shirt, baseball cap and sunglasses.

* First Time Visitors.  If your time is limited I recommend taking a motorcoach tour, especially the "hop-on, hop-off" tours. 

* Be Creative.  In "101 Very Cool Things To Do" you'll find all sorts of things to do, many of them off-beat.  

* Bathroom Breaks.  Large department stores and all Starbucks have bathrooms.  If you opt for the latter, I suggest buying a cup of coffee or tea.
