First New York trip September 02, 2009 07:53AM |
Hi,
I'm coming to New York for the first time ever. I'm staying with a friend, but he's going to be working during the days. I'm looking for suggestions of things to do on my own during the day.
I've already booked a 2 day pass on the Gray Line bus tour, but any other suggestions of great things to do would be great.
One thing I am definitely interested in is a day at the Outlet Malls. Are they easy to get to from Manhattan, and which are the best to go to. I'm not that much of a shopper, so I think 1 day would be enough.
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks,
Karina

Karina, if you are not much of a shopper don't waste your time at a boring outlet mall. There is so much more to do. There are lots of shops that have great sales and for outlet like prices go to Daffy's or Filene's Basement. You will have much more fun walking around NY and seeing other things in addition to someshopping. Below are a couple of lists that will help you map out doing both at the same time. Have a great trip!!
