One-day itineraries of things to do in NYC, organized by neighborhood

There are so many great things to do in NYC it can be overwhelming. A big impediment is getting from point A to point B. My experience is here many people have no idea how to manage distance. This is perfectly understandable. It’s hard to comprehend how enormous NYC is; it has over 339 total neighborhoods spread over 469 square miles. There are so many things to do in NYC, but you can’t go to the Bronx Zoo and Coney Island on the same day. I mean, you could, if you wanted to spend most of the day traveling. But you have better things to do in NYC than sit on a train or spend all your money on an Uber.

But I want you to be smart and efficient. I want you to maximize fun and adventure and minimize hassle and time and money spent on travel. My one-day agendas are designed to give you an adventure exploring a few neighborhoods, in bite size chunks. I’ve tried to minimize travel time, saving time and money that can be better spent exploring–and eating and drinking! Mix and match multiple things to do in NYC agendas as you wish.
