In Three Days. Three Days in New York City – Nomadic Matt's Travel Site. This past weekend a friend of mine visited New York City and having never been here before, he wanted to see as much as possible but I only had three days to show him everything.
That’s not a lot of time for the “Big Apple.” It made me think though. Nyc in three days. It's your first trip to New York City, and you're only staying for a three-day weekend.
While it's impossible to take in all the excitement of the five boroughs in such a short time (lifelong NYC residents discover something new every day), you can still enjoy many of the City's essential attractions. Read on for a plan that will help you make the most of your time—these are the sights and sounds you must experience before you leave. Day One (Midtown) See the Skyline New York City is defined by its skyline, and all city skylines are measured against New York's—the silhouette created by Manhattan's buildings is nothing short of iconic.
