Picture it. You’re visiting New York City and looking for cool things to do. Shouldn’t be hard, right? New York is literally known for being the city that never sleeps. So you head to the internet, run a search and are currently bombarded with listicles and guides sharing the must-see attractions, restaurants, shopping, shows, parks, nightlife… but must-see for who?
For being the city that never sleeps, planning an itinerary sure is exhausting.
The truth is, there are countless ways to see a city, and everyone’s idea of 10 can’t-miss attractions is pretty unique to them. So, instead of rolling the dice on a generic travel guide, get tips from someone you trust. Because KAYAK knows travel is personal, we created KAYAK Guides so you can quickly and easily create custom travel itineraries and share with friends. To show you what we mean, we rounded up six insider perspectives to NYC to give you their unique take on visiting New York City.

Subway Creatures
If you’re visiting NYC, you might take a yellow cab for the experience, and if you don’t know any better, maybe you’ll even drive yourself – but more likely, you’ll be one of the millions of people who ride the NYC subway each day. While many will appreciate the quick commute provided by this convenient form of transportation, others will take the time to enjoy the one-of-a-kind experience provided by the NYC subway. If you enjoy prime people-watching, stations teeming with history and some of the best sunset views in the city, SubwayCreatures has the KAYAK Guide for you.

Tinder
If you’re heading to the city solo (or with your better half), chances are you’ll have a better chance of finding things to do by heading above ground. And when we want to find an intimate spot to cozy up or a lively bar to meet someone new, we turn to the experts – Tinder. From date nights with your SO to low-key hangs with the local you just matched with, Tinder’s KAYAK Guide is perfect for when spending quality time is your top priority.

Master Distiller Jake Sawabini
There are a lot of places to grab a drink in New York, and a lot of them are serving up quality cocktails. So choosing one can feel a lot like finding a mint sprig garnish in a haystack. Which is why we turned to Master Distiller Jake Sawabini to get the lowdown on his favourite cocktail bars in the city. From a curated gin and tonic menu to the best bloody mary he’s ever had, the hardest decision will be which one to visit first.
