If you like museums for their beauty, Met Cloisters. The building itself is based off medical architecture, it’s high up in the middle of a very green park (the park/forest is beautiful too), it overlooks the Hudson River. If you purchase a ticket for the Cloisters, that same ticket is good for two days and let’s you into the main Met building on 5th (and you can live out your gossip girl dream if you want). 

If you’re of age, Drunk Shakespeare is so much fun to see. You can buy the tickets on their website but Groupon also usually has them discounted. Todaytix has them on saley. Drinks are provided btw. 

Oh if you’re a student from nj,ny, or Connecticut the met is pretty much free or pay what you want. 

ooh thank you for these recs! the met cloisters and the area around it sounds like a nice break from like. sidewalk. i will put it on my list ✅

Depends what kinda stuff you were already planning on seeing/when you're going/what areas you'll be in (manhattan, queen, brooklyn)

oh yea good point lol. the last time I was in nyc (march 2020) I walked extensively in chinatown, jackson heights, and flushing, so I’m good with those areas

the only things I have planned so far are cix’s concert (theater district) and mofad (north east corner of central park). I’m happy with recs in harlem and anywhere in manhattan, but i’m also considering exploring brooklyn :0

Drunk Shakespeare isn’t about following the story. It’s 😆 an experience. All the stage actors get drunk and attempt to follow the story. Theres audience participation too but I think that’s changed since Covid. Some of the shows have just one or two actor get drunk and the sober cast have to play along with the drunk member’s version of the plays. But there are plenty of other plays if you’re interested. Off broadway is always my rec but also if you don’t want to break the bank.

​It’s also small and quaint so you don’t have to squint to see the stage. The stage is in the middle and there’s only 4 or 3 rows circling the stage. If you want to. XD I don’t wanna sound like I’m pushing you.

Adrienne’s pizza is also a really good place to eat. It has a rooftop bar too. It’s not the typical ny slice kinda pizza. Walking the high line is really beautiful too. Having a little lunch there on a bench.

you’re not being pushy at all! I’m the one who asked hahaha i love hearing about experiences that people recommend highly so i appreciate your detailing your recs 😊
