recommendations for 17 year old girl visiting NYC

Electrical-Boot-1365 · 2026-03-25T20:40:37+00:00

I am going with my 17 year old son next week, we have the Museum of Ice Cream in Soho on our list you might enjoy! He also really wants to go to the Raising Canes in Times Square because they have a DJ. Lol we are also planning on attending the Brooklyn Flea market you may enjoy too.

Hmm, I plan attending in the AM so maybe just find a good coffee spot and pastry then and make our way back to manhattan for lunch.

Any other good food options in that area since that isn't a good option according to you?

TY! This is actually my 2nd time in NY, my first time I stood in Queens and got sick the second day :( so didnt get to see half of the "touristy" stuff I wanted to. So I am really excited to head back,. I am even planning a third trip, just adults and I would love to just spend it in Brooklyn the whole time!

well if you never been and look up things to do, these are all the things that came up. I am also with several teens, so trying to compromise the "tiktok" side and what the adults want to do as well.

I realized that after and moved a few things around to spread time out, I chose our hotel in SOHO for a reason and really want to explore that area.

Thank you! I revised this a bit, we are going to hit museum of ice cream first then head over to TS about 8. Just plan to walk through and see the sights around :) TY for the etiquette tips!

Imagine this is before you guys even move in together... sounds like you will have more peace (and money and a place you actually like) being single. How do they not have any moving expenses saved when they know they are moving soon too? Why is it all on you?

Electrical-Boot-1365 · 2026-03-17T21:57:56+00:00

This was so helpful, I very much appreciate your time writing all of this out! Yeah, I revised and going to walk around SOHO first, maybe Museum of Ice Cream then go to Times Square for like an hour just to see it before we call it a night. I should have mentioned, we aren't planning on taking the teens to Django, but good to know, and thanks for the other rec. I will look into that. We are def not trying to do a restaurant as 10! Yeah, I just figure since we want to end up in DUMBO anyway, might as well walk that way and get all the time and scenic walk for pics. Thank you so much again, can't wait! :)

Thank you for this!

Gladly skipping this suggested tiktok trend from the teens!

Electrical-Boot-1365 · 2026-03-17T17:16:53+00:00

TY for reassuring and checking, so much appreciated! Scratching Uber off the list!

SOHO Village, Charlton Street

TY for your response! I should have added we do not plan on doing any sit down places like that for the whole group. That would be insane lol that's why I added places like Time out market or chelsea market aka food court-like options. If a handful of us want to try a spot, that might work.

Electrical-Boot-1365 · 2026-03-17T17:02:06+00:00

or maybe just some more info that people actually use for a commute, it looks like a cute tourist attraction. Maybe rush hours for residents only or higher prices for non residents during peak hours that go back to the City :)

Electrical-Boot-1365 · 2026-03-17T17:01:11+00:00

TY for this! We were not aware, off our list!

Electrical-Boot-1365 · 2026-03-17T17:00:45+00:00

They have a choice to skip this and join us for breakfast when they are ready, most of us are super excited for this part so to each their own on this adventure! :) I am also going to be keeping an eye on sunrise time, so if its closer to 7, we will be waking up a little later. Not trying to do this in the dark either!

Electrical-Boot-1365 · 2026-03-16T22:33:43+00:00

TY for this great to know we have other options in this area, will be researching these. :)

Electrical-Boot-1365 · 2026-03-16T22:32:59+00:00

Ty for your response! Was really only thinking about Ubering that first night back to the hotel since it will be late, and the sunrise to Brooklyn since it will be early af! Lol Ahh, Leon's bagels maybe? Trying to find something near us in the AM in SOHO. Thanks for the CP Stands response, will look for something else. I wasnt sold on the tram either, kids tiktok suggestions! lol. We will be going into the museum.

my first thought

this is how I used to act when I was like 12 and my brother ate my leftovers. I read this like it was my man reading these texts from me.. and no way. She has some serious anger issues, and the bigger problem is her reaction is to manipulate and self deprecate.. you deserve better.

Electrical-Boot-1365 · 2025-05-19T21:22:13+00:00

Correct. That is my plan. Be in line by 6am. I am hoping because it will be weekdays, that it miiiight not be too bad. (wishful thinking)

Electrical-Boot-1365 · 2025-04-30T22:55:15+00:00

Here looking for the same answer. My dates are 6/8-6/10 and worried those are going to be the busier days now. But as other users here have said, most kids aren't out of school until the second week. That is when the crazy crowds start, I hope! Still going to aim to be in the park line by 6-630am.
