This was a great overview of a newby in NYC. My only visit was almost 60 years ago, and what you describe I can fully imagine, as the details of my visit differ in places, problems, time, etc., but not in the wonderment of the city. And of the helpfulness of strangers to a Midwesterner.

Oh, How I loved reading this! It brought back my all time favorite thing to do in NYC, walk and overwalk, ha ha. We lived on Long Island (Cold Spring Harbor) for a year, so the train experience was fun to recall.

In the five years I lived in NYC, I never tired of the view from the Empire State Building. Even when we weren’t showing friends from out of town around the city, Dave and I would sometimes just go up there after work to remind ourselves while we were here. It’s so majestic. Glad you got a chance to experience a great day in NYC.

The views from the Empire State Building were amazing! I would like to see it at sunset and at night too.

Nighttime is surreal! Magnificent. But daytime gives you a great way to get oriented to the layout of the city. Best choice for newcomers!
