Explore Chinatown and Brooklyn
If you want to save time we recommend you take the subway and get off at any station near Chinatown. As soon as you arrive, take a leisurely stroll through the neighbourhood and be surprised by the shop windows and shops, and be sure to try some delicious dumplings in one of the hundreds of restaurants that abound in Chinatown. Take advantage of Chinatown and take a tour of Little Italy or Wall Street. Then head to the Brooklyn Bridge and walk past it to Brooklyn, a New York must-see.

Once in Brooklyn go to Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass better known as DUMBO. This was an industrial zone that was transformed with the arrival of artists, architects and designers, all of them turned the old industrial buildings into avant-garde lofts from where you have an extraordinary view of Manhattan. Once you’ve walked through DUMBO, we recommend a visit to Brooklyn Bridge Park, located on the shores of the East River and in the shadow of the striking steel structure that is the Brooklyn Bridge. Wait until nightfall to see the lights of Manhattan’s Downtown slowly turn on, one of the best shows you can see on your New York City tour.
Eat Some Pizza

Undoubtedly the most famous park of this promenade is Luna Park, which opens from April until the first days of October. Another great plan on Coney Island is to try Nathan’s legendary hot dogs, something you can’t miss if you’re on a New York tour. To end the day on Coney Island, there’s nothing better than taking a walk on the beach at sunset while enjoying the sound of the sea.
Explore Williamsburg

One of the plans we recommend you do on your New York tour is to take the subway to Williamsburg, the trendy neighborhood in the Big Apple. This neighborhood, traditionally inhabited by the Polish community, arrived a few years ago the hipsters, liberal kids who inherited the New York counterculture and completely transformed this area of New York. With their affluence, these streets seemingly without anything special during the day, explode with life at night, becoming an extraordinary place. Walk along Bedford Avenue and enter a trendy café or restaurant to see why this neighborhood is considered New York’s most trendy area. We also recommend entering a bar to have a few drinks, you will have a wonderful time.
Explore Long Island City
