nyc: We are going there for the first time in Dec and my boyfriend and i dont' want to do super touristy stuff ( I live in SF and want to avoid the Fishermens Wharf of NYC whatever that is) we want to check out museums and stuff and i would like to go to Whasington Square park. What should I see and where should I walk around. I want to do a lot of walking around. Also I am staying in Brookyln, any suggestions?|||go iceskating at central park, bryant park or rockefellar center. i lived in ny my whole life and i still go, so i guess its not so touristy.|||There's the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and you can walk around Times Square. Actually you can walk to many places. You and your boyfriend can walk along some streets, like 42nd, and Broadway, and just look at the 'brown stones" i.e. house's. http://www.123world.com/new-york/new-yor鈥?/a> Don't forget to go to Macy, and Saks, it's huge! There are a ton of plays to see as well. And you can get a TAXI on every corner. Look into the SHERATON Hotel, it's near so much to see, and you and your boyfriend could walk to Central Park from the hotel. There are also vendors all over the streets, so when the two of you are out and about, you'll be able to purchase a scarf or a t-shirt, or a fun foe name brand watch. And don't forget you two could go to the ZOO, and that's a lot of walking. Have a wonderful time in NY'!!!!|||The things the girl above suggested are all really nice but they are the most TOURISTY things to do in NYC EVER!! Metropolitan Museum of Art is awesome, you should stop there if you like art. The MOMA is excellent if you like a modern twist on art. NYC has great museums. Do a little research and you'll find something unique! I went to the Museum of Sex! It was interesting... Take the R train and go to downtown Manhattan. Best night life, interesting people, great shopping.|||**The Central Park Zoo - open all year around; $8 for adults **Nirvana Indian Restaurant - 40 Central Park South (not far from the Zoo) ... on a high floor, overlooking Central Park / beautiful view / classy neighborhood: dress nicely **FAO Schwarz - the toy store, on Fifth Avenue at 58th St. ** The Metropolitan Museum - 82nd & Fifth closed Mondays, open late Friday & Sat (take the Madison Avenue bus uptown, the Fifth Avenue bus back downtown) ($ donation) ** The Frick Collection - (museum) 70th Street at Fifth Avenue - beautiful buliding & grounds -also closed Mondays; ($ donation) Staying in Brooklyn: take the #51 bus across the bridge to Chinatown in Manhattan.( #51 bus: not on weekends; check the schedule - it runs about every half-hour) or take the subway....
