Sightseeing NYC

[urlaub]

We will be first time in NYC and we need some suggestions. My husband is paraplegic and full time in a wheelchair. We will be there for one day . Our cruise ship ( Oceania ) will be at Manhattan Cruise Port. What can we do best to see as much as possible?

What interests you?

normally art and History, but for this we will not have enough time

You could easily spend all day at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which also has history.

The Frick Collection would only take a couple of hours, but is lovely.

The Museum of Modern Art was renovated a few years ago.

I don't know what you mean when you say that you won't have time for history and art.

Metropolitan Museum of Art. Not only art. It contains a magnificent Egyptian artifacts wing. If there is time, Central Park is adjacent to the Museum.

The museums in NYC are of top quality. You do have time to visit one for a day.

 

Also there are many tour buses that have guided tours if you just want to touch on the heart beat of what makes NYC so electric!

I just wanted to add that there was recently a class action lawsuit concerning how the Met asks for admission fees. You are no longer pressured into giving $25. Don't let the price deter you. Give what you can afford.

If you can cruise, you can afford to pay $25 to see the incredible exhibits at the Met. That fee doesn't come close to paying for the upkeep of the facility and the collection.

There is always the Circle Line around the island.. It leaves from a pier just south of where Oceania's cruise ships generally dock.

You'll see a few of the highlights and mobility should not be an issue.

It's not for me to judge whether or not someone can afford it. I just encourage everyone to visit.

Except the Met is a free museum so no need to to pay $25

 

A donation of whatever you want is appreciated but not required

 

 

Philanthropists and the guilt ridden can pay whatever they want

 

But since it's a free museum I'll donate $10 for my entire family to enter

 

Never been turned away. Always welcomed with a smile.

I totally agree and...

 

As I posted above I've never been pressured and have never given more than $10 be it for 2 or 4 or 6 of us visiting

 

Free means free

 

Donation means at your discretion and not required
