Creator's Key Takeaways
I mean, for me, I always come to New York City for about 3 to 5 days. 3 days minimum. 5 days is a sweet spot.
Uh people always say, "When's the best time?" I say spring, April to June or fall, September to October.
Now, we're actually at the Roosevelt tramway. This is a new one to our list, but it's been around for a while.
But if you do ferry plus the grounds, that's about 26 to 27 for adults. That includes the museum and the ferry.
