New York

A week in New York City

One borough per day, pizza rated daily, one Broadway lottery try.

American Museum all day

Blue whale, dinosaurs, the Hayden planetarium — pick a wing and surrender.

Apollo Amateur Night

Cheer or boo with the toughest crowd alive. Wednesday nights, book early.

Bagel appointment in NYC

Ess-a-Bagel tomato-cream situation. Toasted everything, obviously.

Broadway lottery win

Enter every lottery at 9am, sit front row for $40. Scream appropriately.

Broadway rush ticket win

Cancellation line at dawn, front row by dusk. Worth it once.

Brooklyn Botanic cherry week

Track the blossom map; weekday mornings are empty. Cherry Esplanade at peak.

Brooklyn Bridge at dawn

Walk it before the crowds: sunrise over Manhattan from the wooden promenade.

Central Park loop on foot

Full 10k loop, Bethesda fountain pause, hot dog with intent.
