New York City Resources
inspired by Peter DaSilva’s NYTimes article, and hoping to help the Couchsurfing community, i’ve put together this page for a brief rundown of sites (and websites) to visit while in NYC.
This also works for people who live and work in NYC as well.

Chelsea Gallery hopping -
there are so many galleries in Chelsea, too many to name.
take the 2/3 train to 23rd street and walk around
the main blocks are from 24th street-28th street between 10th and 11th ave
go to EyeBeam while you are there. ExitArt is also cool.
the usual suspects:
The Moma
The Metropolitan Museum of Art
The Guggenheim
The Museum of Sex
Madam Tussaud’s
MY GREATEST TIP - USHERING:
If you call these theaters ahead of time, you can see great shows (and sometimes not so great shows) for FREE by ushering.

I hope these tips and tricks make your trip to NYC even more enjoyable! If I don’t see you on my couch, I’ll see you in the streets of NYC!
