I lay out here in the summers. People watching by day and star gazing by night. Beautiful. You can have a picnic, take a boat ride, have a meal, sun bathe, cycle, or just read a novel.

Conselho para os viajantes
Viajar com crianças
Subway system
If traveling on the subways try to travel when it isn’t rush hour. It can be brutal finding seats and for little people it can be frightening. For safety - My recommendation would be to sit in the first car because the Motorman is in that car and the middle because the Conductor is in that car. You can find the conductor prior to the train pulling in by looking above your head for a black and white board- he will always be aligned with that board.
O que levar
Sightseeing gear
A back pack, waters, a portable charger, subway map, good tennis shoes, and a positive attitude.

I’d take a stroll in the park first and then grab some cider, homemade jam, cookies, and cakes. You can head across the street and have a seat in front of the Library. There’s several tables and benches outdoors.

You haven’t visited NY if you did not see a play on Broadway.
