NYC New York City

What are some things to do as a tourist in New York?

My parents and I are going to New York City, New York next month because I graduated from middle school and have a long summer vacation. A list of things to do in New York would be helpful, because once I’m there for six nights and I don’t want to end up doing nothing. Any advice on someone on a long summer vacation with this trip to look forward to?

Things to do will only be limited by your budget, well in your case, your parent’s budget! Here are just a few ideas:
