Midtown Mondays…
TLDR: what are things to do in midtown, as a local, that make you think there’s no place like New York?Idk why I’m asking cause we’ll probly get stuck doing all the touristy shit, but what’s good to do in midtown on a monday afternoon/evening, we’ll have to make an obligatory stop in Times Square, but I’m looking for a locals perspective after not having been to manhattan in a number of years and perusing list after list of “the top 1000000 things to do in NYC”. We’ll have to eventually get to MSG for a concert but pretty empty schedule between probly 3-7pm. I dont even know that I’m looking for places to go…I mean my 5yo is excited to ride the subway, even like a “scenic” over the bridge and back ride…so like all suggestions welcome.
Maybe some context would help…coming from outside Philly and into town for a concert my older daughters are going to see and making a day out of it, bringing our 5yo son as I mentioned. Plan to ferry over into midtown, go to the park zoo and then meander. It’s hard to put what I’m asking into words I guess. My son is the only one who’s never been, so I guess I just want convey some of the magic of the city to him, so that all the walking he’s gonna do will be worth it lol…idk the city was always a magical place when I was a kid.
