When is the best time to visit NYC crowd and weather wise? What are places and activities you recommend that arent heavily touristy, I mean things outside of Times Square, Empire State Building. And do you know if Amtrak service is any good up there, I get very anxious about flying. I am trying to choose between visiting Boston, Seattle, or NYC

Visit NYC...you can never have regrets except not seeing all there is to see because you can't. Best time...now...when schools are closed...also great time for summer clothes shopping because they are on sale to make space for school clothes. Times Square is a must....doesn't matter how many hundred times you saw it on TV ..or how many thousands of photos you have...or no point coming to NYC! Brooklyn Bridge....take taxi/subway....go to the other end...walk back....don't like crowds...go mornings...9 is fine...walk from Brooklyn end...great for snapping Manhattan. Visit Harlem...125th Street....Amtrak does stop there. Harlem is history...walk...see older folks...chat...you will hear history first hand. Visit Schoemberg Museum...135th Street & Lenox Ave...never heard if it I guess...because it is the Museum for Black Culture. Make this a must...if you do and don't think it was worth it. ..I give you permission to come back as often as you can...and insult me...I shall not respond. If you need to get a real feel of NYC hood...go to Polo Grounds... one of the ehmmm...baddest projects...you can walk around the complex as if you know exactly where you are going..nobody will even notice you...let alone try to mug you as soooo many be saying...just don't disrespect anyone in NYC period! Subway...you must take a ride ...can be short...#4 train from Harlem to the Bronx..Yankee Stadium...snap some pictures....then hop back ..short ride above road level...then diving underground and under Harlem River to almost surface back in Harlem. Too many places.

@op,I have no reason to doubt your duration of stay ether legally or otherwise,that's none of my business but you should expect people to comment and share their views whatsoever coz this is an open forum.the truth is many people will question the timeline of your posts if they take into consideration your exact headline.
Meanwhile you did answered some of those comments maturely but ended up messing everything up with that last line .that clearly shows your level of civility.

My friend go and sit down. We are enjoying the thread like that.

At the corner...bright sunny afternoon! ...can't beat the sun here for brilliance!...heat yes..but not brilliance!..sun be shining like it's brand new! Don't ever believe everything here is new and shiny...the older something is. .original and functional... the more pride people have showing it off...and can fetch price too!..and no...the bike is not brown...is rust!...and yes..it has to be locked..or will be gone!The bike...vintage..the car..just old!

NYC.....Garbage collection....the City Sanitation picks up household garbage for free...from pampers to refrigerators.....while private sanitation companies must be contracted to pick up commercial garbage...garbage from a store/business....construction/demolition waste. This is a private contractor...and the youngest most fragile looking workers I've ever seen!
School Bus picking up handicapped kid to take to day care...free service by the city....all good. ..bUT not when by law I have to stop and wait until he is finished loading and turns off his flashing red lights before I can keep it moving!
FDNY....Fire Dept New York.... they have divisions and operate out of different fire houses...they share in some..they specialize in certain areas of fire fighting. This vehicle is from the Ladder Unit...they specialize in getting victims out of buildings via ladder. Because of tight turns...there is 4 wheel steering. ..the guy perched at the back steers the rear wheel can turn just like front wheels do. Driver in front and steering mam at back MUST always be on the same page!....can we manage that?!..."ehmm...is not my fault now.... I thought we were turning right. ..I didn't know was left. End of truck.
And if you think newer cars...or classics only... a healthy 1994 Toyota Corolla just going with the flow!
