Check google maps before you go
The subway is the best way to travel in NYC. However, there are often delays and changes. Check google maps to see how long it'll take you and then plan an extra 15 minutes on top of that. If you're here for more than a few days I recommend getting a weekly unlimited metro card. It's $33 for unlimited rides, instead of $2.75 every time you want to go somewhere. It adds up.

The staten Island Ferry- free ride, beautiful view of the city and the statue of liberty.
230 Fifth Rooftop Bar - no cover rooftop bar. Amazing view of the Empire State Building.
American Museum of Natural History- suggested donation so give what you can. Great way to spend the day, especially if it's rainy and/or cold outside.
