I’m going to NYC next weekend, will be attending @pgconfnyc@fosstodon.org .
It will be my first visit to the US ever.

Anyone got any tips on what I should see in NYC ?

    Walk the Booklyn Bridge from Brooklyn to Manhattan. Sights are amazing.
    Central Park is an oasis if you have enough of the chaos.
    Staten Island Ferry is nice.
    A must is the 9/11 memorial.
    See NYC from above: Top of the Rocks or Empire State Building.
    Skate at Wollman Rink. I did under a full moon and loved it.

    Most of all: enjoy the city and the people, have a safe trip!

    If you want to see a fun show, we saw The Play That Goes Wrong a few weeks ago and it’s a blast.

    People will try to recomend restaurants, but just walk around and eat at something that looks good. There are so many great places it’s not usually worth going out of your way to go to a touristy place.

    Make sure you go into Grand Central and see the main room. It’s probably my favorite place in the city.

    @ruud@mastodon.world @pgconfnyc@fosstodon.org I heard they have a statue of some french lady, but they didn’t quite like it so they put it on an island outside the city. Or something like that? I might have got some details wrong.
