![]() Head to Uptown Night Market for a Taste of Local Food, Music, and Fun Satisfy Your Hunger at Northend Food Hall Attend an Event at an Ornate 1930s Movie Palace Frolic in the Formal Conservatory Garden in Central Park Learn About History, Heritage, and Immigration at the Museum of Chinese in America Relax Under the Gaze of Antique Statues at Elizabeth Street Garden View Rare Art and Manuscripts at The Morgan Library & Museum Or maybe you’re a local, hoping to try something new. Maybe you’re on your third or fourth or tenth visit and are looking for a new adventure. However, I’ve done everything on this list and often had the venue either entirely to myself or was surrounded by local neighborhood folks who all seemed to know each other–just like a small town. One thing to note: visiting non-touristy places doesn’t always mean they’re not crowded! Plenty of attractions are off the typical tourist path but draw crowds from the neighborhood. Often, that means heading out of the most popular parts of the city and winding up at the edges of Manhattan in a neighborhood like Inwood, or in another borough altogether. They’re crowded for good reason! But after living in NYC for more than a decade, I also love exploring the hidden underbelly of the city. And don’t get me wrong, I love popular landmarks like the High Line and Hudson Yards. Everyone, for example, should lose themselves in the beautiful chaos of Times Square at least once in their lives. Of course, some attractions in New York City should not be missed. Are you ready to veer off the beaten path to find non-touristy things to do in NYC? ![]()
