There are plenty of guides about New York City and all the suggested attractions that are fit for tourists. However, there’s one problem with those guides— they don’t actually showcase the real New York City.
If you want to see New York City like a true New Yorker, here’s a guide for you to explore the city.

Were you thinking of visiting the observation deck at the Empire State Building? Forget about it.
Instead, head to Roosevelt Island to experience the Roosevelt Island Tram as you ride over the East River and take in the entire NYC skyline.
Time To Relax
New York can be overwhelming. From learning the subway, moving at a fast pace and finding out why it’s truly called the “city that never sleeps.”
When you need to unwind, head to Bathhouse for two-hours of relaxation. Their two-hour day pass includes access to three pools (cold plunge, hot pool, and a thermo neutral pool), a steam room, dry sauna, tropical sauna, and heated marble slabs.
