this IG post is timely...
https://www.instagram.com/p/DM8EaTZMmF5/?hl=en governor's island was fun, and doing the touristy 4 person bike around was highly entertaining. though i was a bit underwhelmed by little island, i can see how a concert there would be fun. i've been wanting to go to the cloisters, but haven't trekked up to washington heights for it yet.

Last year we did Central Park, the High Line, observation deck at the Edge (super touristy, but fun nonetheless), and the Met over a quick weekend. Plus the West Wing exhibit at the Paley Center, which was cool.
This time we're staying down around Union Square and will be there almost a week. I'm going to work from our NYC office one morning since my wife has a work presentation to give, we might try to take in a Broadway show, and the wife wants to go to a needlepoint store on the Upper East side, but other that we have no plans as of yet.
