Hello everyone. We will be visiting New York in February next year, and we are looking for advice on our planning and advice.
We will stay at M Social Times Square, and we arrive on Saturday evening in the evening.
Sunday: Visit Washington by taking the train around 8 a.m. and returning by train around 5 p.m.
Monday: Ferry to the Statue of Liberty + Ellis Island. In the afternoon, visit the financial district, the 9/11 memorial (maybe also the museum) and finish the day by climbing the One World Trade Center.
Tuesday: Visit of Dumbo, then crossing the Brooklyn Bridge, Chinatown, Little Italy and Soho. Then, crossing the High Line.
Show on Broadway in the evening. (Already booked)
Wednesday: Climb to the Empire State Building in the morning and evening (day/night ticket), visit Central Park during the day and climb to the Top of the Rock in the late afternoon.
Thursday: Climb to SUMMIT One in the morning, stroll through Midtown and NBA game in the evening (already booked for the game).
Friday: day of departure (flight at 11:30 p.m.).
Natural History Museum in the morning and possibly Friends Experience in the middle of the afternoon. Then we collect the luggage and we leave for the airport around 5 p.m.
What do you think ? Are there any essentials missing? Is there something that we haven’t thought of that could prevent part of the program from being carried out?
Thank you so much

What do you think ?
Hello Anthony,
What do I think of it ? There are many strategic errors.
To start
Why arrive in NYC to leave the next day in the direction of Washington DC?
It would no doubt have been more effective to proceed otherwise.
Wanting to make a marathon visit to Washington at the height of winter is ambitious unless something else compels you.
On Monday, don’t go up to the OWO after dark.
Your experience will be irrelevant.
You will see a bay and Manhattan illuminated with a vanishing line that will not account for anything.
No possibility of taking photos with the reflections of interior lights on the windows.
If you really want to go up there, do it during the day.
It will not be possible, in this case, to make the complete list of your day.
Tuesday. It is absolutely not necessary to do three climbs for high views in the same day.
No interest.
If you want to climb the TOR, do it during the day.
The ESB will supplement for a night view.
No need to climb during the day and another at night on the pretext that a pass allows you to do so.
Climbing the ESB in winter is going to be an extreme experience from a temperature point of view.
You will suffer without shelter.
Thursday, if you climb to the SUMMIT, it validates even more the pointlessness of doing the ESB during the day.
Different experience but similar views.
At least, at the SUMMIT you will be sheltered from bad weather.
A parenthesis: in winter, despite the cold, the sky can be clear allowing all the experiences of views in height, just as it can be covered hindering them all.
Consider these experiences as secondary or to be adapted at the last minute depending on the weather.
On Friday, couple the AMNH to Central Park which is desolate in winter and only takes on a “magical” appearance in the snow.
Otherwise, it’s sad.
By coupling in this way, you release your Wednesday.
Friends experience could be done on Tuesday instead of Chinatown and Little Italy without any interest on such a short stay.
To answer your last series of questions I would say yes of course there are some essentials missing since you have spent too much time on views from above.
You present your project as if it were going to come true on sunny days.
You have to rethink almost everything except the reservations where you are committed.
It is to be hoped that you have not already committed to the purchase of a pass.
