If you are staying in Manhattan: Tenement Museum, the Met, MoMA, NY Historical Society (new show up now of Audubon watercolors), Museum of Natural History (NY Hist Society + Natural History Museum are next to each other on Central Park West), Merchant House Museum. And don't miss Central Park, especially if you are hitting up museum mile on 5th ave.

For restaurants / bars with some history - Fraunces Tavern is the oldest tavern in NY. McSorley's Old Ale House is the oldest bar in NYC (and a really fun place to hang out, it gets super busy on the weekend).

I would definitely go to the tenant housing museum and/or the irish famine memorial, as they are often missed.

Hello all:

My friend just surprised me with a trip to New York for a belated birthday weekend. I will have two days to do as I please, with one day being a bachelorette party for her friend…I am along for the ride.

In two days, what are the must do things? The things to do that are awesome and everyone misses? Living History site that is amazing?

I know I have to do the Statue of Liberty and Empire State as they are iconic…but what else? I want to make the most of my surprise! Oh and restaurants recommended other than Diners Drive In s and Dives receommends…lol

Thanks a bunch, I look forward to the experts!
