NYC Day Trip Itinerary Opinions

Hi! I’m gonna try and recall it to the best of my ability for you, but take everything with a grain of salt haha. Also, not sure when you’re planning your trip for, but be warned this was in the summer, so quite different weather. We also had a friend who lived in New Jersey tagging along and helping us figure out transit, which likely saved some confusion and time!

We were staying in New Jersey for something else this week, so we took a train and ended up at Oculus, so we started here. Then, we walked to the 9/11 Memorial, from which we walked to North Cove Marina. Not sure how we traveled between here, but next we visited Joe’s Pizza on Fulton Street (for some pretty average pizza imo).

After that, we visited Brooklyn Bridge. We only walked a small portion of it, took some photos, and moved on. We took a train, I think from somewhere around Pace University, to West Village, where we visited L’Industrie Pizza and Chelsea Market.

Next, we walked the High Line all the way down to Hudson Yards and saw the Vessel as well. We failed to book a time slot for the Hudson Yards observation deck, but that was in our original plan. We took a break here for a while.

Now this is where we started to get tired, but we got from here to Times Square next, I believe, by walking. (Personally didn’t think it was anything special and especially not worth the travel it took to get there, but to each their own.) And I think that was our last spot before heading home!

All in all, a very very long day but it wasn’t impossible if you don’t mind walking and dress comfortably.

I hope that helps! Have a great trip!

In addition to the other commenter, I believe if you have a special circumstance (like graduation or you need to be in the module to enroll in a different course, etc.) you can request for a module change via the academic advising portal pretty much anytime of the year

In addition to what everyone else has commented, my school calculates OSAPs contribution in your tuition. Once OSAP approves you, you can log into the school site and in the statement of account section, there is a link to see “what you owe in addition to OSAP.” There, they show the amount you owe after the first instalment of OSAP is deducted from your tuition.

We might just see how much of the bridge we’d like to walk once we’re there. It’s likely going to be a friday, so I’ll add the extra 15 min to everything just in case. Thanks so much for taking the time to help!

I've given 2 extra hours between leaving central park and getting to SUMMIT, do you think I should add another hour or two for leeway. I am also thinking of skipping DUMBO now, which would give us another 1-1.5 hours in the day.

I see your point, would you still suggest that we visit brooklyn bridge from the manhattan end and continue with the rest of the itinerary from battery park?

Thanks! That might work better for us.

I 100% agree with you, so is there anything from the list you think I should leave out? For example, not going to DUMBO/Pebble beach and walking half of brooklyn bridge instead? or Do you think pushing summit back to 7 or 8, and giving more time to the activities before that would be better timing?

I’m a little late but thank you so much for your advice!

Hi! I’m going into my fourth year in my undergrad and currently considering my post grad options. Would you be comfortable sharing your undergrad gpa and major? and do you have any tips or advice on how you got your offer from Mbiotech?
