I've been to New York City nine or ten times over the past six years or so. Seen all of the tourist attractions (UN, Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, TV and other Museums, Guggenheim, Brooklyn Museum, MOMA, MMA, Natural History, NBC and Rockefeller Plaza/Radio City Music Hall, the Churches, City Hall, Harlem tour, Walking tours of Greenwich Village and Chelsea Market, etc.), walked extensively through just about every neighborhood in Manhattan, and been to many shows/clubs/restaurants. I was even in the World Trade Center a few years before 9/11.
But on this upcoming trip (April 2-7), I was told that I had to pick one thing that I "must" do while there. My girlfriend has chosen the Guggenheim as her one thing because, as an artist, she never gets tired of it.
I have been to all of the museums, and my initial reaction is to choose the Museum of Natural History, since I've only been there once. But before I choose, I thought I would solicit ideas for something astonishing while I'm there. A walk across the Brooklyn Bridge? I've never done that. I've never been to the Cloisters. I hear the Tenement Museum is something to see. My dad grew up near Coney Island, but I hear that's a bit dangerous. I've never been in Carnegie Hall (despite a lot of practice
). Not a sports fan, so forget the games or Madison Square Garden.
So, if you had to pick only one thing to do, and you wanted it to be astonishing, what would it be?
