Active Leisure & Sport in New York:
Empire State Building
Manhattan Sky Tour
My advice is to check for discount codes online before you go. I saved some bucks doing this and it made the experience even sweeter!
I suggest booking your flight in the late afternoon around 5 PM to catch the sunset. It's such a breathtaking view and you'll get the city lights twinkling as you land. Definitely a highlight for me!
Don’t forget your camera, but make sure to double-check their rules on photography. I missed some great shots because I was worried about guidelines
Madison Square Garden
If you’re looking for a great view, try to sit higher up. I had seats on the lower level once and could hardly see the full action. The upper tiers have a better overall perspective
My advice is to check out the food options in advance. Some stands can get super crowded, and you might end up spending more if you don’t plan. I found the pretzels and pizza worth every penny!
Yankee Stadium
Public transport is the way to go! Take the subway to the stadium. It saves you from the parking hassle and traffic – I paid a fortune for parking last time. Plus, it’s a fun way to soak in the city's vibe!
Barclays Center
I suggest bringing a small portable charger. Using your phone for pics and directions drains battery life, and you might miss out on moments.
I recommend arriving around 5:30 PM for weeknight games. You'll beat the crowd and have a better chance to find cheaper parking near the arena.
Indoor Extreme Sports Paintball & Laser Tag
If you can, bring your own snacks and drinks. The cafe can be pricey, and a little break with your own food really hits the spot!
Liberty Helicopters
I think wearing a windbreaker is a smart move! The chopper can get pretty windy, and it's way more comfortable than freezing your butt off mid-flight
One World Trade Center
Amsterdam Billiards Club
Frames Bowling Lounge
Try to arrive at around 5 PM for a good mix of crowds. It’s lively but not too packed, so you can enjoy the vibe without the crazy wait times.
