Tips for planning your New York itinerary

Plan each day around one part of the city. Short hops between nearby stops are often quicker on foot than by subway.
Check closing days. Many museums close one day a week (the Met closes on Wednesdays). Add a date and the itinerary checks every stop’s hours for that day.
Book the timed things first: observation decks, museum tickets, shows and the busiest restaurants.
Leave a gap or two. When you don’t know what’s next, Find Your Vibe™ picks a place nearby that fits your mood.
Tap “Open all stops in Maps” for walking directions through the whole day.
