Whether you are here at school or on vacation, if your stay is coming to a close there are some destinations and activities you should do before your time in the big city ends.

1. See another show. Broadway shows are one of the best attractions here in New York City and there is always something on Broadway or off Broadway for you to see. Its an experience you can't get anywhere else so do yourself a favor and take advantage of it while you can.

2. Go to Central Park again. Go to the Great Lawn and lounge when the weather is nice. That park is vast and I'm positive you haven't seen it all. Relax, take in that legendary park one more time.

3. Go to a museum. MoMA, MoMI, The Met, The Natural History Museum, they are all worth your time and money. There is nothing like them. The original Starry Night painting by Van Gogh is hanging in MoMA and you should go see it (Its free on Fridays).

4. Try some new food. New York City is a melting pot of cuisines and there is a restaurant somewhere that has something you have never eaten and will probably never find anywhere else. Try Shawarma, I don't know what it is but you should try it.

5. Travel to a part of the city that you know nothing about. Go all the way downtown, see some parts of Brooklyn that you haven't seen, mosey to the upper west side. This city is huge and there is so many cool spots that you have to look for to find. Go find them.

6. Go people watching. Find a quiet spot and watch the tourists and the natives walk amongst each other. Listen to snippets of phone calls, make up stories about why that couple is fighting, try to guess a persons life story. Trust me its one of the easiest ways to waste time in the city.

7. Buy one of those spray paint arts. They are all over Time Square and Rockefeller Center and they are just as cool as they seem on the internet.
