Week After - NYC Experience
Weehawken Dueling Grounds and Waterfront
The 9/11 lights will be out this whole weekend. We recommend you view from a lookout spot in Weehawken, Hoboken, or Jersey City!
Mets Game - Monday, September 11, 2023
We will try to do a Mets game on Monday, September 11.
Statue of Liberty
Liberty and Ellis Island can be reached from Jersey City, NJ. We can head over there anytime during the week.
Top of The Rock
Top of the Rock is always a fun time!
Freedom Tower
The freedom tower is a great downtown experience. We will not go on September 11, as it will be crowded (they read the names of all of the 9/11 victims in the morning at the time the planes hit the towers and many New Yorkers gather to observe and mourn). Anytime Tuesday on is fine.
9/11 Memorial & Museum
This is a bit heavier of an activity, but the memorial museum is so well put together. A true tribute to those we lost in 2001. It is also very educational, but again, a bit heavy.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art
This is well paired with Central Park, as it actually sits on the Central Park grounds. This museum never disappoints.
Central Park
I don't think I need to explain what this is, haha
Broadway
If we have enough interest, I will inquire about group rates to the theater. There are many good shows playing, but this is a more expensive option, typically ($100-200/pp). If you've never experienced a Broadway show, I would highly recommend seeing one!
The PIT
This is an improv theater. Some of the best shows I've seen in NYC have been at this theater. It is amatuer talent, but shows run $10-20/pp so it is a more affordable option. Not all shows are good, but most are at least pretty funny.
Ellen's Stardust Diner
This is a famous 'singing waitress' diner. They do not take reservations, so most of the time there is a substantial wait, but it's dinner and a show (essentially).
Yankee Stadium
The Yankees are going to be in town this week as well, so we could see a game here (as Red Sox and Mets fans, Tim and I are NOT Yankees fans). Aaron Judge is always a treat to see play, as well as some of the Yankees younger talent.
