Thank you Smetzdelyon,
On your dates, for the moment only Earth Day will take place on April 22, the day of your arrival, an event which should not concern you.
It takes place mainly in Union Square (Manhattan).
Let’s get back to your project.
On D1, you will be up very early.
If you can, while heading to the subway to reach your church in Harlem, take the opportunity to discover your surroundings in Turtle Bay or to discover Times Square as you rarely see it: deserted!
The J2, I assume you are talking about the ferry that goes to Staten Island. It will allow you to see the Statue of Liberty offshore. No stopping on the island.
Once in Saint George, drive to the Saint George Memorial for a spectacular view of the NYC Bay.
The site itself is very moving.
It won’t take you much time.
This Day 2, you should consider staying in the Downtown area while visiting the 9/11 site as noted on Day 3.
If it is the free nature of this museum that inspires you to choose D3, in this case, do the morning of D2, this D3.
You won’t have to worry about transport and will have plenty to keep you busy all day.
You can include the discovery of South St Seaport with Two Bridges and Fulton.
Let’s start on this basis of D3 entirely devoted to Downtown.
Your J2 will need to be redone.
In the morning, go to the village sector.
Travel to Brooklyn via the subway to consider crossing the Brooklyn Bridge at sunset or after dark.
Do not cross the bridge in the Manhattan/Brooklyn direction.
If you want to spend a day in Brooklyn as you seem to note, enrich your discovery of this borough beyond the Heights and Dumbo / Vinegar Hill.
The offer is multiple between street art addresses, ethnic neighborhoods, sites undergoing total renovation (gentrification), historic neighborhoods, oceanfront neighborhoods, green spaces, etc.
You seem to want to dedicate the J5 to Midtown.
I think Central Park should have its place on Sunday, Gospel Day and AMNH.
Indeed, if you are aiming for an early mass, you can be at the museum late in the morning and leave around 2/3 p.m.
This will be the ideal time to visit the park by heading south, passing the major famous spots.
The Midtown day can be organized so that you get more done.
On D6, do not go up to the Edge in the morning.
You will have the sun in your eye if you visualize Manhattan.
It will be catastrophic.
If the sky is gray, with no visible sun, why not.
The best time to go up to this address is at the end of the day.
If you are lucky enough to have a blazing sunset, that’s a plus.
So consider your circuit in reverse.
West and Greenwich Village were rated J2.
In this case, remove them from J2 which you will easily enrich with all sectors of the East (Four Squares, Astor Place, East Village, Alphabet City (Loisaida and its community gardens), LES, Bowery, Little Italy and Chinatown .
To return to this D6, Start with Soho before going up to Greenwich Village, West Village, Meatpacking (Little Island / Pier 57), Chelsea Market, Chelsea / High Line and finally the Hudson Yards site (Vessel / Edge) .
On D7, try doing the East River Cruise.
To start, go to Gantry Plaza State Park from where you would take the boat to Pier 11.
Gantry Plaza State Park is a magical address.
Leave your luggage at the hotel for safekeeping and take it back when you leave for the airport.
For the pass, I cannot give advice since you will only make a few paid visits.
Concerning the metro, take the metrocard with unlimited use (unlimited ride 7/7 24/24) or use the OMNY system.
The latter assumes that you have 4 active CBs available.
Indeed, the bonus system which makes the OMNY system efficient and practical, compared to the metrocard, requires one credit card per person.
To purchase the metrocard, you will need to have 2 credit cards: 2 cards maximum per card.
About the baseball game at Yankee Stadium here is the official site which will help you get organized.
The idea of spending an evening at the stadium is clever.
Avoid organizing your evenings in Times Square.
TS, you have to see it, once during the day, once at night and that’s EVERYTHING.
In one way or another, we have to pass there often because this address is so central.
Don’t make it the address of all your evenings.
Little Italy has disappeared, absorbed by Chinatown.
All that remains is Mulberry St, on a section where there are tourist trap Italian restaurants.
On traverse Little Italy pour son Street Art : LISA project.
You still have time to refine your wish list.
Good preparations.
