Exploring New York City by yourself feels special.
I lived in New York City for almost three years, and some of my favorite days there had nobody else in them.
As a licensed NYC tour guide, I’d finish a tour, wave goodbye to my group, and instead of going straight home to sit in my apartment, I’d use the city like my personal playground.
I’d wander into shops, duck into a museum, or get purposely lost until I found a new favorite corner.
I grew up in New Haven County, Connecticut, so New York was always the big trip.
Now I live in Italy and lead trips around Europe, and I tell every solo traveler the same thing: New York is one of the easiest cities in the world to explore by yourself.
The subway runs 24 hours. A table for one is completely normal. And there’s always something happening.
Here are my favorite things to do alone in NYC, plus where to eat solo, how to get around, and how to stay safe when you’re on your own.
Short on time? Here are my recommendations for things to do alone in NYC:
- Best things to do alone in NYC: see a Broadway show (single seats are easier to get), walk the Brooklyn Bridge, ride the free Staten Island Ferry, spend an afternoon at The Met Cloisters, and take the ferry to Governors Island.
- Is it safe to visit NYC alone? Yes, for most visitors, with the same awareness you’d use in any big city.
- Where to eat alone: food halls like Chelsea Market, or a seat at the bar.
- Getting around: tap a contactless card or phone at the subway gate. A ride costs $3, and after 12 rides in 7 days the rest of the week is free.
- Free things to do alone: the Staten Island Ferry, the High Line, Little Island, and free one-hour tours of the New York Public Library’s main branch.
- If you only do one thing alone in NYC: My suggestion is seeing a Broadway performance. You can sit by yourself in the theatre, surrounded by hundreds of other people, and share in the collective experience that is a show.
The Best Things to Do Alone in NYC
If you’re looking for things to do alone in NYC, this list will give you plenty of ideas to get you moving!
Planning a solo NYC trip?
- Where to stay: See my curated list of quiet hotels in New York City
- A guided tour so you’re not alone the whole time: the tour of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island with reserved entry I mention in #2
- The splurge: the Manhattan skyline brunch cruise I talk about in #35
1. Spend as much time in one of New York City’s incredible museums as you want
New York has more museums than you could see in a year of Saturdays, and going alone lets you see one at your own pace.
Pick the museum you’ve always wanted to visit and stay as long as you like.
Stand in front of one painting for twenty minutes. Read every plaque. Nobody is tapping their foot by the exit.
If I have the whole day free, I will spend my afternoon exploring the Museum of Broadway, one of the best museums in New York, in my opinion. It’s an immersive museum where you can learn about the history of this incredible art form.
Several museums offer free or pay-what-you-wish hours, and I keep a running list so you can plan around them.
2. Take a tour of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island
French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi designed the Statue of Liberty, and it was first assembled in Paris before crossing the Atlantic to New York Harbor.
Fun Fact: Gustave Eiffel, the same Eiffel behind the Eiffel Tower, designed her insides. His iron skeleton holds her copper skin with flat metal bars that flex like springs, so she can move a little in the wind. She’s been doing that since 1886.
Ellis Island opened on January 1, 1892, and more than 12 million immigrants passed through it before it closed in 1954. Today the main building is the Ellis Island National Museum of Immigration.
Statue City Cruises is the only official ferry to both islands. Boats leave from The Battery in Lower Manhattan (or Liberty State Park in New Jersey), and one ticket covers both stops.
Going alone means you can take as long as you want on each island.
Walk up into Lady Liberty’s pedestal, then head to Ellis Island, where you can look up a family name.
Pro Tip: Pedestal and crown tickets are limited and only sold online through Statue City Cruises, so book ahead. The crown is 162 steps with no elevator.
Or, if you’d rather spend your alone time with a group, take a guided tour of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.
3. Take a guided walking tour of New York City
Just because you’re exploring New York City by yourself doesn’t mean you have to be alone all day.
Sign up for a walking tour and spend a couple of hours with a guide in a neighborhood that has always fascinated you. You get company and stories without coordinating with anyone.
When I was giving walking tours of New York City, solo guests were my favorite. They listened to my stories, asked questions, and chatted with me on the walks from point to point.
4. Walk the High Line
Spend your solo time with a few thousand strangers on the High Line.
It’s an elevated park built on the West Side Elevated Line, an old freight railway that started running in 1933 and carried meat, dairy, and produce to the warehouses of the West Side.
By the 1980s, the trains had stopped, and the tracks sat abandoned and overgrown.
In 1999, two neighbors, Joshua David and Robert Hammond, started Friends of the High Line to save it.
The first section opened as a park in 2009. James Corner Field Operations designed the landscape, Diller Scofidio + Renfro handled the architecture, and Piet Oudolf designed the plantings that change along the route.
Today, it runs about 1.45 miles from the Meatpacking District through Chelsea to Hudson Yards, with benches, street-level lookouts, and views of the Hudson River.
If you’re visiting in the spring, that’s my favorite time to walk it, when everything is in bloom.
5. Read a book in Bryant Park, or any park, really
If you have time to yourself, dive into that book sitting on your nightstand for way too long.
On a nice day, grab a movable chair in Bryant Park, spread a blanket in Central Park or Prospect Park, or take the ferry to Governors Island for a picnic.
6. Treat yourself to a great meal at a restaurant you’ve been dying to try
With so many restaurants in New York, pick the one you’ve always wanted to try and treat yourself to a solo meal.
I don’t know about you, but I love eating alone. You can order whatever you want, linger as long as you want, and nobody is judging you but you.
I’ve got more tips (and where to sit) in my section on eating alone in NYC below.
7. Go on a thrift-shopping spree
If you have a whole day to yourself in the city, go thrift shopping. New York has some of the best secondhand and vintage shopping in the country, and you can take as long as you like in every rack.
Some of my favorite stores are Crossroads Trading, AuH2O, and Buffalo Exchange.
But if you want a little guidance, you can join this vintage thrift shop tour.
8. Hit the beach
Did you know New York City has real beaches you can reach with a tap of your phone at the subway gate?
Rockaway Beach in Queens is a ride on the A train (switch to the S shuttle at Broad Channel).
Brighton Beach in Brooklyn is right off the B and Q trains, and Coney Island is next door at Stillwell Avenue.
Up in the Bronx, Orchard Beach is a 6 train to Pelham Bay Park, then the Bx12 bus.
Pack a little beach bag and lie out in the sun. It’s one of my favorite summer things to do in New York.
9. Watch a Broadway show
I’ve seen at least a dozen Broadway shows entirely by myself, and twatching a Broadway show alone is one of my all-time favorite things to do in NYC alone.
There’s nothing like sitting in a theater and sharing a few hours of magic with a room full of strangers. Theater can be life-changing, and seeing a show on your own takes that to a whole new level.
Check out Playbill’s weekly list of Broadway performance times, or go to the show’s own website if you already know what you want to see.
Feeling spontaneous? Head to the TKTS Booth under the red steps in Times Square for same-day tickets at up to 50% off. There’s a second booth at Lincoln Center, and the TKTS app shows what’s on sale in real time.
And if you want to take yourself on the ultimate solo date experience, dinner and a show, here are my favorite Theater District restaurants.
10. Win a Broadway lottery or rush a show you’ve been dying to see
Waking up early to rush a Broadway show is a great use of your alone time, and going solo gives you an edge, since one seat is easier to find than two.
Rush tickets are discounted seats sold at the box office when it opens, or online for some shows.
There are only a few each day, so for popular shows the line forms well before the box office opens.
Many shows also run digital lotteries, where you enter online and find out if you won.
If you miss out, you can still buy a full-price seat or try the TKTS Booth.
Check Playbill’s website for each show’s current rush, lottery, and standing-room policy, and read my advice on how to get Broadway tickets if you’d rather not get up early!
11. Head to the movies
If your budget doesn’t stretch to a Broadway show, take yourself to the movies instead.
The Paris Theater is one of the city’s longest-running arthouse cinemas, and the last single-screen theater left in the five boroughs.
Since they show only one movie at a time, you have to keep checking their schedule to see if a movie you want to see is screening. But if you find a showing that excites you, it’s a really cool, throwback way to go see a movie.
It’s a cozy way to spend a few hours alone in NYC, especially on a cold winter day.
12. Try new foods at Chelsea Market and then head across the street to a special Starbucks
Have you ever wandered around inside Chelsea Market? It’s always packed, and for good reason. Everyone wants to try everything.
When you’re on your own, you can browse every shop and food stall at your own pace until something calls your name. The concourse is open daily from 7 am to 10 pm.
Once you’re done, head across Ninth Avenue to the Starbucks Reserve Roastery. It’s one of only five Roasteries left in the world, and it feels nothing like your usual Starbucks.
13. Walk the Brooklyn Bridge
The Brooklyn Bridge stretches from Lower Manhattan across the East River to Brooklyn, and it opened on May 24, 1883.
Its story is a family drama.
John A. Roebling designed it, but he died before construction even began.
His son Washington took over, and a few years in he was struck by caisson disease (the bends) and left bedridden.
So his wife, Emily Warren Roebling, carried his instructions to the engineers and workers on site. For years, she carried the bridge’s construction through her.
The bridge itself is 3,460 feet long. On the Manhattan side, you’re a short walk from City Hall Park and the 9/11 Memorial; on the Brooklyn side, you’ll land right by Brooklyn Bridge Park.
14. Be a studio audience member at your favorite live taping
Many shows filmed in front of a live audience in New York give away tickets for free.
Yes, that includes favorites like SNL, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and Late Night with Seth Meyers.
The catch is that they go fast. For The Tonight Show and Late Night, reserve through 1iota. TVTaping lists dozens more shows taping around the city, all free.
SNL is the hardest.
Its ticket lottery opens once a year, in August, by email.
If you miss it, there’s standby: request a standby reservation online on the Thursday of show week, then be ready to wait late into Friday night for a standby card. You have to be 16 or older.
Other shows also hand out a limited number of standby cards on show days, and going solo helps, since one seat is easier to fill than two.
15. Wander inside the New York Public Library
The Stephen A. Schwarzman Building, on Fifth Avenue at 42nd Street, costs nothing to walk into, and it’s still one of my favorite free things to do in New York City.
Wander the marble halls on your own, then join one of the library’s free one-hour guided tours, led by official library docents at 11 am and 2 pm, Monday through Saturday.
Book online: tickets for the week ahead are released every Sunday.
16. Play the day away at Chelsea Piers
Chelsea Piers is a giant sports and fitness complex on the Hudson River in Chelsea.
My favorite solo move there is the golf driving range, which is open to the public for walk-in sessions (no membership needed).
Hours and prices change by season, so check their website before you go.
17. Relax on the grass at Four Freedoms State Park on Roosevelt Island
Have you ever been to Roosevelt Island?
Take the F train, or better yet, ride the Roosevelt Island Tram from Manhattan’s East Side. You’ll float over the East River with the Queensboro Bridge right beside you.
Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms State Park sits on the island’s southern tip. Architect Louis I. Kahn designed it, and it opened in 2012.
Relax on the lawn and take in views of Gantry Plaza State Park in Queens and the United Nations in Manhattan.
On your way, peek at the ruins of the Smallpox Hospital, a Gothic building designed by James Renwick Jr. in 1856.
Pro Tip: The park is closed on Tuesdays. It’s open 9 am to 5 pm from October through March and 9 am to 7 pm from April through September.
18. Take a day trip out of the city
I don’t blame you. Sometimes you’ve had enough of New York City and need fresh air and more trees.
Hop on a Metro-North train, and you can be somewhere completely different in an hour or two. Ride the Hudson Line up the river to Poughkeepsie, or take the New Haven Line to a charming Connecticut town near New York City.
(I grew up in New Haven County, so I may be a little biased.)
If you love hiking, Bear Mountain State Park offers trails with great views of the Hudson River, including a stretch of the Appalachian Trail. It’s easiest to reach by car.
Heads up: Some trails near the Bear Mountain Inn, including parts of the Appalachian Trail, have detours for construction through summer 2027.
19. Visit the animals in the Bronx Zoo
The Bronx Zoo opened on November 8, 1899, and it’s the place to go if you want to get up close to your favorite animals.
It covers 265 acres and is home to more than 11,000 animals.
Spend your alone time watching your favorite species as long as you like.
20. Step back in time at the Cloisters
The Met Cloisters, in Fort Tryon Park at the very top of Manhattan, feels like you’ve been dropped into medieval Europe.
Part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, it holds about 2,000 works of art, most from the 12th to the 15th centuries.
Architect Charles Collens designed the building in a medieval style, and it opened in 1938 on a hilltop overlooking the Hudson River.
Three of its cloisters feature gardens planted from plant lists in medieval sources. Sit in one and listen to the birds, or wander every gallery at your own pace.
It’s one of the most peaceful places in the city to spend time alone.
21. Climb to the top of Outlook Hill on Governors Island
I go to Governors Island when I want a whole day to myself without leaving the city. It’s a short ferry ride from Lower Manhattan, and somehow it feels like a different town.
The Lenape called this 172-acre island Paggank, which translates to “nut island,” probably for its chestnut, hickory, and oak trees. Today, New Yorkers go here to escape the other boroughs for a day.
Walk or bike the waterfront promenade, have a picnic, or check out the public art on display this season.
Then climb Outlook Hill. It’s only 70 feet up, but the harbor view from the top is the one in the photo above. The island has been open year-round since 2021.
Or, for the ultimate solo getaway, book a glamping experience. Collective Retreats runs it in the summer and fall.
I’ve slept out there myself, and it’s still one of the most extraordinary experiences I’ve ever had in NYC!
Getting there: Ferries leave daily from the Battery Maritime Building in Lower Manhattan, and on weekends and holidays (late May to early November) from Pier 6 in Brooklyn Bridge Park and Atlantic Basin in Red Hook. A round trip is $5 for adults. Kids 12 and under, adults 65 and over, NYCHA residents, IDNYC holders and military ride free, and everyone rides free on Saturday and Sunday mornings before 11 am.
22. Become a wizard at the Harry Potter Shop
If you’re a big Harry Potter fan, the Harry Potter Shop New York is a must for your solo day.
It’s at 935 Broadway on 22nd Street, right next to the Flatiron Building, and it’s packed with exclusive merchandise you won’t find anywhere else.
Stop at the Butterbeer Bar for a frothy Butterbeer in a souvenir tankard (or Butterbeer ice cream), and check out personalized pieces like house robes and a Hogwarts acceptance letter with your name on it.
It’s open daily: 10 am to 8 pm Monday to Thursday, 10 am to 9 pm Friday and Saturday, and 10 am to 7 pm on Sunday.
Pro Tip: Make a reservation to see the Harry Potter Store in advance. Their wait times might be lengthy, so get in line as soon as possible.
23. Treat yourself to the ultimate self-care day
What better way to spend “me” time than a massage?
From the moment you walk into Aire Ancient Baths in Tribeca, you’ll feel like you’ve left the city behind. The spa is inside a restored textile factory from 1883.
Spend time soaking in the baths before and after a massage.
AIRE also has a newer Upper East Side location.
24. Spend a few hours savoring a cup of coffee at your favorite shop
One of my favorite solo things to do in NYC on a sunny or rainy day is to bring my laptop to a coffee shop and watch the world go by.
Catch up on work somewhere other than your home office, or sip coffee and read a book.
25. Actually browse through the stacks at your favorite bookstore
Don’t you always wish you had more time to read the inside flap of every hardcover you pass?
On a day alone in New York City, you finally do.
26. Wander around Little Island
Little Island is a park that seems to float on the Hudson River, a short walk from the southern end of the High Line. It opened in May 2021 on the site of the old Pier 54.
Fun Fact: Pier 54 hosted two of the most famous voyages in history. In 1912, the RMS Carpathia docked here, carrying the Titanic survivors. Three years later, in 1915, the RMS Lusitania left from this same pier and was sunk by a German U-boat off the coast of Ireland. A steel archway from the old pier still stands at the park’s south entrance.
Walking onto it feels like stepping into a garden from the future, with trees, grasses, and flowers planted everywhere you look. Grab a spot on the lawn, wander the paths, or catch something at the outdoor amphitheater.
27. Marvel at the view from an observation deck
Seeing the city from above is the moment a lot of first-timers finally understand how big New York is.
You can choose from Top of the Rock, the Empire State Building, Edge at Hudson Yards, and more. My favorite is One World Observatory because you’re at the end of Manhattan Island and have a clear view of the entire city looking north.
I have a whole post to help you choose the best observation deck for your day alone in New York.
28. Ride the free Staten Island Ferry past the Statue of Liberty
The Staten Island Ferry runs from the Whitehall Terminal, right next to Battery Park, to St. George on Staten Island.
The ride takes about 25 minutes; it’s free and sails right past the Statue of Liberty.
It runs 24 hours a day, so you can even take it at night to see the lit-up skyline.
Whether you’re a cookie connoisseur or not, I bet there’s a New York City cookie you’ve been dying to try. This might be the sweetest thing on this list.
My personal favorite is Levain, as I prefer softer cookies, but my friend, who loves a crispy cookie, swears by Schmackary’s. Take yourself out for a sweet treat and decide for yourself.
30. Get lost inside Macy’s
The flagship Macy’s at Herald Square on 34th Street has more than a million square feet of shopping.
You’ll find everything from housewares to restaurants to floor after floor of clothes. Please spend at least an hour on the shoe floor for me, please and thank you.
You can easily lose a few hours wandering in here on your own.
31. Binge-watch classic TV at the Paley Center for Media
Is there a TV episode you loved as a kid and haven’t seen since?
The Paley Center for Media is a museum of TV and radio at 25 West 52nd Street, a short walk from Rockefeller Center.
It started out in 1975 as the Museum of Broadcasting and became the Paley Center in 2007.
Settle into the Paley Archive, its library of classic programs, or catch a screening from the archive in one of its theaters.
It’s open Wednesday to Sunday from noon to 6 pm, and general admission is $20 ($16 for students, teachers, seniors, and veterans).
Insider Tip: Book a timed ticket online before you visit. Walk-ups are welcome but are subject to availability.
32. Visit the 9/11 Memorial
Few places in New York hit as hard as the 9/11 Memorial & Museum.
It’s meant to be a place of silent reflection, and I think it’s best visited quietly, on your own.
The two reflecting pools, each about an acre, sit in the footprints of the original Twin Towers.
Around them are the names of the 2,977 people killed in the September 11, 2001 attacks and the 6 people killed in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
Look for the Survivor Tree, a pear tree that was pulled from the rubble at Ground Zero, nursed back to health, and returned to the plaza in 2010, and the Memorial Glade, which honors rescue and recovery workers.
You can walk the grounds on your own and then head into the museum, or learn the history in depth on a guided walking tour. Here are my tips for visiting the 9/11 Memorial & Museum.
33. Get your daily dose of laughter at a comedy show
Broadway gets the headlines, but New York is just as good a city for stand-up. Plenty of big-name comics started out in these clubs, and some still show up unannounced to test new jokes. A comedy club is also one of the easiest places to go alone, since everyone is facing the stage anyway.
Comedy Cellar: On MacDougal Street in Greenwich Village since 1981, probably the most famous comedy club in the city. There are several shows a night, with a cover charge and a two-drink minimum.
Gotham Comedy Club: Booking big names in Chelsea since 1996. Expect pub food and a long vodka list (30 kinds, according to the club).
The Stand: A comedy club and restaurant on East 16th Street, just off Union Square.
34. Gather your thoughts in Central Park
Most visitors only ever see the southern end of Central Park, around the Mall and Bethesda Fountain.
On a day alone, keep walking north.
Up in the North Woods, the park’s largest woodland, a man-made stream called the Loch runs through a ravine with three little waterfalls.
Enter from Central Park West between 101st and 106th Streets, and you’ll forget you’re in Manhattan.
35. Take in the skyline from the water
The skyline looks completely different from a boat. Everything you’ve walked past all week suddenly lines up into one picture.
Fun geography moment: Manhattan and Staten Island are islands, and Brooklyn and Queens are actually on the western end of Long Island.
(Yes, there are huge differences between the boroughs and “the Island.” Trust me, I went to Hofstra.)
For a truly luxurious morning, take yourself on this Manhattan skyline brunch cruise.
You’ll sail around Manhattan on a 1920s-style yacht with a three-course brunch and a drink in hand. It’s about 2 hours and 45 minutes.
Brunch for one on a yacht, with Manhattan floating past? That’s a solo date you’ll still be talking about at home.
Check dates and book the skyline brunch cruise here.
On a budget? The free Staten Island Ferry (#28) gets you skyline views for $0.
36. Catch a New York City sports game
Nothing makes you feel like a local faster than cheering (or booing) along with a stadium full of New Yorkers.
Whatever month you visit, someone is probably playing at home:
- Baseball: the New York Yankees and the New York Mets
- Hockey: the New York Rangers and the New York Islanders
- Basketball: the New York Knicks and the Brooklyn Nets, plus the WNBA’s New York Liberty
- Football: the New York Giants and the New York Jets (both play at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey)
37. Attend a street fair or seasonal festival
Last but not least, check out one of the many street fairs and festivals happening almost every day around the city.
If you’re here in the fall, I have a list of my favorite fall festivals throughout the autumn months all over New York City–as well as for the winter.
No matter the season, you can find a great outdoor market featuring local artisans and businesses selling unique handicrafts, artworks, and foods.
Where to Eat Alone in NYC
Eating alone in New York is completely normal. Look around any lunch counter, and you’ll see plenty of tables for one. Here’s how I do it.
Sit at the bar. You get faster service, a front-row seat, and a bartender who’ll chat if you want company (and leave you alone if you don’t).
Go to a food hall. Chelsea Market is my go-to: you can graze from stall to stall with zero pressure.
Look for counter seating. It actually works in your favor: if a restaurant has only one spot left at the bar, you’ll be the one eating over your couple-waiting counterparts.
Do your fancy meal at lunch. It’s easier to walk in without a reservation, and during the workweek, it’s much more common to see people out solo.
Bring a book. It doubles as your dinner date.
Going to a show? Here are my favorite Theater District restaurants for a solo dinner-and-a-show night.
Getting Around NYC Alone
Good news: New York is one of the easiest big cities to get around on your own.
Subway and buses: Tap a contactless credit card or your phone at the turnstile (the system is called OMNY). Each ride is $3, and after 12 rides in 7 days, the rest of that week is free, so you’ll never pay more than $35. The MetroCard has been retired, so don’t bother looking for one.
The subway runs 24 hours a day, which is a lifesaver after a late show.
Walk. Manhattan’s numbered grid makes it hard to get too lost (unless you want to). [Your favorite walk.]
Ferries: the Staten Island Ferry is free, and the Governors Island ferry is free on weekend mornings before 11 am.
New to the subway? Here’s my guide to navigating the New York City subway.
NYC Alone: Your Questions Answered
What are the benefits of spending time alone in New York City?
Whether you’re moving to NYC alone or you just have a few free hours, the best part of doing things alone here is that your time is entirely your own. You don’t have to fit anyone else’s schedule, so you get to choose what you do and how long you stay.
Is New York City good for solo travel?
Yes. New York is one of the best cities in the world for solo travel. The subway runs all night; you can walk almost everywhere, and there’s always something to do, at any hour, at any budget. Eating, sightseeing, and seeing a show alone are all completely normal here.
Is it safe to go to NYC alone?
Generally, yes. Like any big city, New York has crime, but people (me included) explore it alone every day.
A few habits I swear by:
Keep your phone and wallet in a front pocket or a zipped bag on crowded trains and in Times Square.
At night, stick to busy, well-lit streets, and ride in the subway car with the most people (often the one where the conductor is, in the middle of the train).
Ignore anyone selling tickets, tours, or “free” CDs on the street.
Share your plans with someone at home.
And if you’d like company, joining a walking tour is an easy way to meet friends without the awkwardness.
How much does a solo trip to NYC cost?
It depends on what you want to do each day: a budget day of free sights and subway rides will cost less than a day with a show. I’d plan a minimum of $100 per day for activities, food, and transportation.
The highest cost is your hotel. Lots of the best things to do alone in NYC are free, though, and I’ve rounded them up in my guide to free things to do in New York City.
Where should I stay in NYC as a solo traveler?
When I stay in a hotel solo in New York City these days, I tend to choose a hotel in Midtown by Central Park along the 1/2/3, A/B/C/D, or N/Q/R/W lines. I’ve found these subway lines are the ones I use most when I’m exploring the city, and I feel pretty safe walking alone at night over here.
If you’re a light sleeper, these are my picks for quiet hotels in New York City.
Is it weird to go out alone in NYC?
Not at all. New Yorkers do things alone constantly: lunch, movies, museums, a drink at the bar after work. Nobody is looking at you, and if they are, they’re probably jealous of your plans.
NYC Solo Activities: Wrap-Up
Whether you’re visiting New York City solo during a long layover or you just want a day to yourself on a longer trip, I hope this list helps you plan your next adventure.
