Native New YorkerWhat are the best things to do in New York City?
First answerer said go to Manhattan. Bleh! I work in Manhattan. I see it all day. How about touring the other 4 boroughs for a change? If anything, try Queens and you can always go to Jones Beach ( this is out on Long Island).
STATEN ISLAND FERRY
