New Museum, I would only go there for the building, shit they have is not even worth paying money for.
And Met? Classical art work? Whats wrong with you? You too hipstered out that someone sleeping in a museum as an art piece is better?
- funny thing is.. iv never been to the New Museum.. and I got to the MET every other week.. so dont be a prickAudria
- If you never been, how can you compare and rank it as much as Moma?JourNYC
- he asked for art museums.. I just listed some that might be of interest..Audria
- I will give you free ticket to NM, seriously, the shit they have is just fucked up.JourNYC
- Also, their current exhibition is full of pretentious shit. I walked out of some talks they had.JourNYC
- More or less hipster artist wanna be frat party.JourNYC
- ok ok i trust you. chill out
personally i dont give a fuck about the art scene in ny anymore.. so there!Audria - your irritatingAudria
- I maybe a prick but I am the most helpful. so fuck off.JourNYC
- I am sorry, are you going to cry now>?JourNYC
- haha sure.. ill shed a tear for you.Audria

I would do a full walk around from bottom up. Start in Wall st -> tribecca -> china town -> soho / LES -> East vil -> Union square / west vil -> korea town / empire state -> 5th ave -> central park -> upper east / west side on choice.
- how long would it take to do this walk potentially?emukid

this is where you need to go for pizza. After a nice walk from manhattan to brooklyn through BK bridge, its worth it.

"how long would it take to do this walk potentially?"
I would segment these out in 2-3 days. So you can actually see the neighbourhood / places. not worth just walking up with out stopping.
- JourNYC0
Oh also, take the night tour bus service around town. on a nice summer night, you get to see the city at night. Fun on double decker bus.
Or during the day. If you are lazy and not wanting to walk.

i've you've never been to nyc, you gots to go to the met. it's like a law. don't let these jaded new yorkers talk you out of it.
if your feet are sore, take a seat by the temple of dendur and either look out the window or watch the tourists saunter by. i'd check out their website and pick out a few things you care about to see, you can spend days in there.
also, if you're on a budget, it's voluntary admission, you can just claim destitution and it's free.
the guggenheim is just up the road a short walk, so you can kill two birds with one stone. although your head will be awfully full of art after those two.
straight across central park from the met is the natural history museum, which, i think, is way better than the met. you can reenact that scene from royal tenenbaums and hide under a bench in the dioramas. or behold the squid wrestling with the whale and wonder about that.
as a first timer, you also have to see the moloch that is times square, so you can behold the naked cowboy and what cheap plastic thrills america presents to the world. only then will you be able to put on your black beret and truly decry tasteless wanton capitalism, as you will have seen its navel. and think about what it would've looked like back when it was all porno theaters and illicit bookshops.
maybe go to chinatown to experience some real nyc bustle, stop by pearl river ( http://pearlriver.com/ ) to marvel at all the stuff, if you like jazz, hit the village vanguard or the blue note, if you like what i know you like, maybe check out the knitting factory, or maybe just pick up a copy of the new yorker, their listings are really for out-of-towners and pretty damn comprehensive and pick some stuff out. broadway below houston st is actually pretty interesting for that ny vibe, you'll wander into some good stores.
if often feel like asking the people that live in a certain city are the worst people to ask for advice on this stuff, cause they're completely sick of the sights and will try to take you to places that are sooo unusual and thus probably stuff that you're quite used to, not being from there.
as usual, i'm full of shit and know nothing. good luck.
