What to do in a day?

Doing a tour of New England end August/start September. Got friends in Stamford, Connecticut so squeezing in a visit to them and it would be a shame not to day trip to NYC whilst there (think it%26#39;s about an hour long train journey away from Stamford).

Question for those of you who%26#39;ve been to NYC - what would you recommend we do in a day? What were the highlights of your trip/things you would avoid?

Best wishes,

Jo

If I were to do one thing for a day trip to see as much of NYC as possible with little hassle I would suggest you look into the Circle Line.

It is a boat ride around all of NYC with many sights and views you could not get anywhere else.

Not expensive, peaceful, with a guide to point out all fo the sights while riding on the water.

They have snacks and drinks on board so bring your camera sit back and enjoy.

If the train takes you into Grand Central Station you could either jump in a cab or walk to the west side and then Board the boat.

I would suggest you check times and schedule for departure to make sure this fits your schedule.

You would be going through Times Square, and the theater district with the Broadway shows.

Perhaps a trip down to the Empire State Building for a trip to the top and a view.

Go luck be safe and have a great time.
