When visiting New York City, New York, for the first time, it is completely fine to act as a tourist. After all, the Big Apple offers so many captivating things for tourists to do and see. However, if you have already checked out the city’s most famous tourist attractions or simply want a different kind of experience, here are some non-touristy things you should consider doing while in NYC.

Explore Flushing, Queens

Flushing, Queens, might not be the trendiest neighborhood in New York City, but it is one that will present a great adventure. It has a rich history, the city’s largest Chinatown, a great selection of Asian food joints, and plenty of green spaces where locals come to relax.

Check Out the Farmers’ Markets

There are close to 50 farmers’ markets around New York City, and they are well worth checking out even if you don’t need fresh groceries. They are bustling with life, and visiting them represents an opportunity to get an in-depth look at the shopping habits of New Yorkers, mingle with the locals, and grab some cheap goodies.

Marvel at the Street Art at Bushwick Collective

New York City museums have some of the best and most famous artworks in the world. Because of this, tourists usually don’t get around to appreciate the city’s street art offerings. Don’t make the same mistake, and visit Bushwick Collective, an outdoor street art gallery that will leave you in awe with its stunning murals and intriguing graffiti works.

Hit a Stand-Up Comedy Club

Stand-up comedy is hugely popular in New York City. Every neighborhood has at least one stand-up comedy club that features nightly shows of both popular names and up-and-coming stand-up comedians. So instead of going to a nightclub, visit a stand-up comedy show and have a good laugh.

There are a few things you need to do in order to have a great time during your visit to New York City and really experience why it is one of the most special cities in the world. The list includes checking out Times Square, waving at the Statue of Liberty, downing a New York pizza slice, and avoiding the following tourist mistakes.

Thinking You Need to See it All

New York City is too big and has too many amazing things to offer for you to experience it all during a single trip. If you try to do this, you will find yourself constantly trying to make the next thing without properly appreciating the last one. Pick things you really want to see or do and leave the rest for your next visit.

Taking a Cab

You should only get a cab in New York City if you really want to see how it feels to be inside one or if you are a fan of Martin Scorsese’s masterpiece Taxi Driver. If you want to get from point A to point B, the subway is a cheaper and usually faster option.

Thinking Getting Broadway Tickets is Easy

Broadway shows are extremely popular, and everyone wants to see one while they are in New York City. If you plan to do the same, don’t expect to be able to just buy a ticket at a ticket counter on the day of the show. Instead, buy one well before your trip.

Missing Out on Less Popular Parts of the City

Most people visiting New York City focus only on Manhattan and Brooklyn. However, other parts of the city, like the Queens and the Bronx, have a special vibe as well and are well worth checking out.

New York City has some amazing tourist attractions, but there is one big problem with them; every tourist wants to experience them. This means that you’ll likely wait in lines, have to deal with crowds and settle for a less fulfilling experience. But there is something you can do.

Instead of heading to NYC tourist hotspots, why don’t you simply check out their less crowded alternatives? Here are some suggestions below.

Flushing, Queens Instead of Chinatown

To feel the dash of China in New York City, skip Chinatown and head to Flushing, Queens. The area is known for its large and diverse immigrant population with vibrant Chinese and Korean communities. Here you’ll find Chinese shops, great restaurants with Asian food, and much more.

Top of the Rock Instead of Empire State Building

If you want to enjoy the NYC skyline without a bunch of tourists blocking your view, then choose the Top of the Rock observation deck instead of one at the Empire State Building. While Top of the Rock is slightly lower, it still offers breathtaking sights and is a lot less crowded. Also, you can get a great look at the Empire State Building itself.

Van Cortlandt Park Instead of Central Park

Sure, Central Park is one of the most iconic places in New York City. However, you can get everything, if not more, that Central Park offers in Van Cortlandt Park. The latter is the third-largest park in the city and features hiking and walking trails, various natural features, sports, and outdoor activities spaces, and even the oldest public golf course in the US.

There are many things which bring people to New York City. Times Square, Central Park, Broadway… they all rank high on the list. 

Something not on our personal list is rat tours. 

And yet, the peculiar excursion is attracting thousands to the city.

@nyc_kb Rat infestation replay from Sunday, February 5th in New York City. #311 #rattok #nycrats #pestcontrol #ratinfestation #starbucks ♬ original sound – bestspedup ❊

New York is well-known for having a rat problem. The rodents have always been residents — after all, who can forget the video of the black rat carrying a slice of pizza down the subway stairs? The infestation worsened during the pandemic, however, with reports of rat activity hitting 60,000 last year. 

Although most New Yorkers are not fans of the critters, there is a whole sect of the Internet known as RatTok that is quite happy about their presence. 

“Rats are like a New York City mascot. People want to see it for themselves,” explained Kenny Bollwerk who hosts free walking tours to places where rats like to let their tails down like construction sites and restaurants surrounded by garbage.

@nyc_kb Pt. 86 – Video highlight from last nights Rat Tok. #screammovie #nycrats #311 #ratcity #onlyinnewyork #whatisnewyork #rattok #ratatouille ♬ Lovefool – Best Love Songs

His late-night tours are usually live-streamed on TikTok, sometimes drawing in 10,000 viewers. There are also dozens of fans who have made their way to the Big Apple specifically to seek out the rodents.

Apparently, it’s the most-authentic NYC experience one can have.

For those who know about the cost of living in the Big Apple, the words “New York” and “affordability” do not seem to belong in the same sentence. But even while the city that never sleeps does prove to be costly, there are ways to save significant amounts of money by choosing your accommodation wisely. Here are some of the best budget hotels for an affordable yet quality vacation.

The Harlem Flophouse

As a place of refuge for those fleeing the South during the Great Migration. this Victorian brownstone hotel comes with a rich history. With its original facade well-maintained, this hotel is conveniently situated north of central NYC, near an array of bars, restaurants, and the world-famous Paris Blues jazz club.

The Jane Hotel

Opened in 1908, this historical landmark is situated in the heart of Manhattan. With an option between bunk bed cabins and standard suites, The Jane Hotel is modeled after luxury ship and train cabins, thereby providing a charming, old-world feel along with all the modern amenities such as unlimited WiFi and even multi-lingual staff members.

Pod 51

Just a 20-minute walk from Times Square, the Rockefeller Center, and the Museum of Modern Art, Pod 51 is at the heart of the action. This trendy hotel is ideal for social travelers, with a cafe with a foosball table.

As the home of the largest Italian-American community in the U.S., it comes as no surprise that New York City is home to some of the best pizzas in America as well as the entire world. Here are some of the best places in the Big Apple where you can enjoy a New York slice.

Rubirosa Pizza

Founded in 2009 by AJ Pappalardo, this pizzeria is as authentic as it gets. Papplardo decided to take the old pizza recipes that his family used at their restaurant in Staten Island and share them in the bustling borough of Manhattan. This pizzeria’s specialty is New York-style slices.

Paulie Gee’s Slice Shop

Offering traditional Neopolitan pies, Paulie Gee’s Slice Shop is an ideal place to stop by for a quick slice or sit down and relax while digging into some scrumptious pizza. Diners can choose between Paulie Gee’s restaurant for a comfortable dine-in experience and the Slice Shop for a quick food pitstop before going on your way.

Di Fara Pizza

Founded in 1965, this classic pizzeria can be found at its original location in the New York City borough of Brooklyn while another chain was recently set up at South Street Seaport. Both New York-style pizza and square, Roman-style pizzas are on offer, equally cheesy and delicious.

There are a few things you need to do in order to have a great time during your visit to New York City and really experience why it is one of the most special cities in the world. The list includes checking out Times Square, waving at the Statue of Liberty, downing a New York pizza slice, and avoiding the following tourist mistakes.

Thinking You Need to See it All

New York City is too big and has too many amazing things to offer for you to experience it all during a single trip. If you try to do this, you will find yourself constantly trying to make the next thing without properly appreciating the last one. Pick things you really want to see or do and leave the rest for your next visit.

Taking a Cab

You should only get a cab in New York City if you really want to see how it feels to be inside one or if you are a fan of Martin Scorsese’s masterpiece Taxi Driver. If you want to get from point A to point B, the subway is a cheaper and usually faster option.

Thinking Getting Broadway Tickets is Easy

Broadway shows are extremely popular, and everyone wants to see one while they are in New York City. If you plan to do the same, don’t expect to be able to just buy a ticket at a ticket counter on the day of the show. Instead, buy one well before your trip.

Missing Out on Less Popular Parts of the City

Most people visiting New York City focus only on Manhattan and Brooklyn. However, other parts of the city, like the Queens and the Bronx, have a special vibe as well and are well worth checking out.

New York City has some amazing tourist attractions, but there is one big problem with them; every tourist wants to experience them. This means that you’ll likely wait in lines, have to deal with crowds and settle for a less fulfilling experience. But there is something you can do.

Instead of heading to NYC tourist hotspots, why don’t you simply check out their less crowded alternatives? Here are some suggestions below.

Flushing, Queens Instead of Chinatown

To feel the dash of China in New York City, skip Chinatown and head to Flushing, Queens. The area is known for its large and diverse immigrant population with vibrant Chinese and Korean communities. Here you’ll find Chinese shops, great restaurants with Asian food, and much more.

Top of the Rock Instead of Empire State Building

If you want to enjoy the NYC skyline without a bunch of tourists blocking your view, then choose the Top of the Rock observation deck instead of one at the Empire State Building. While Top of the Rock is slightly lower, it still offers breathtaking sights and is a lot less crowded. Also, you can get a great look at the Empire State Building itself.

Van Cortlandt Park Instead of Central Park

Sure, Central Park is one of the most iconic places in New York City. However, you can get everything, if not more, that Central Park offers in Van Cortlandt Park. The latter is the third-largest park in the city and features hiking and walking trails, various natural features, sports, and outdoor activities spaces, and even the oldest public golf course in the US.

There are many things which bring people to New York City. Times Square, Central Park, Broadway… they all rank high on the list. 

Something not on our personal list is rat tours. 

And yet, the peculiar excursion is attracting thousands to the city.

New York is well-known for having a rat problem. The rodents have always been residents — after all, who can forget the video of the black rat carrying a slice of pizza down the subway stairs? The infestation worsened during the pandemic, however, with reports of rat activity hitting 60,000 last year. 

Although most New Yorkers are not fans of the critters, there is a whole sect of the Internet known as RatTok that is quite happy about their presence. 

“Rats are like a New York City mascot. People want to see it for themselves,” explained Kenny Bollwerk who hosts free walking tours to places where rats like to let their tails down like construction sites and restaurants surrounded by garbage.

His late-night tours are usually live-streamed on TikTok, sometimes drawing in 10,000 viewers. There are also dozens of fans who have made their way to the Big Apple specifically to seek out the rodents.

Apparently, it’s the most-authentic NYC experience one can have.

For those who know about the cost of living in the Big Apple, the words “New York” and “affordability” do not seem to belong in the same sentence. But even while the city that never sleeps does prove to be costly, there are ways to save significant amounts of money by choosing your accommodation wisely. Here are some of the best budget hotels for an affordable yet quality vacation.

The Harlem Flophouse

As a place of refuge for those fleeing the South during the Great Migration. this Victorian brownstone hotel comes with a rich history. With its original facade well-maintained, this hotel is conveniently situated north of central NYC, near an array of bars, restaurants, and the world-famous Paris Blues jazz club.

The Jane Hotel

Opened in 1908, this historical landmark is situated in the heart of Manhattan. With an option between bunk bed cabins and standard suites, The Jane Hotel is modeled after luxury ship and train cabins, thereby providing a charming, old-world feel along with all the modern amenities such as unlimited WiFi and even multi-lingual staff members.

Pod 51

Just a 20-minute walk from Times Square, the Rockefeller Center, and the Museum of Modern Art, Pod 51 is at the heart of the action. This trendy hotel is ideal for social travelers, with a cafe with a foosball table.

As the home of the largest Italian-American community in the U.S., it comes as no surprise that New York City is home to some of the best pizzas in America as well as the entire world. Here are some of the best places in the Big Apple where you can enjoy a New York slice.

Rubirosa Pizza

Founded in 2009 by AJ Pappalardo, this pizzeria is as authentic as it gets. Papplardo decided to take the old pizza recipes that his family used at their restaurant in Staten Island and share them in the bustling borough of Manhattan. This pizzeria’s specialty is New York-style slices.

Paulie Gee’s Slice Shop

Offering traditional Neopolitan pies, Paulie Gee’s Slice Shop is an ideal place to stop by for a quick slice or sit down and relax while digging into some scrumptious pizza. Diners can choose between Paulie Gee’s restaurant for a comfortable dine-in experience and the Slice Shop for a quick food pitstop before going on your way.

Di Fara Pizza

Founded in 1965, this classic pizzeria can be found at its original location in the New York City borough of Brooklyn while another chain was recently set up at South Street Seaport. Both New York-style pizza and square, Roman-style pizzas are on offer, equally cheesy and delicious.
