When compiling the itinerary, I tried to explore the city primarily by walking - this is usually my preferred solution. So I walked 15-20 km a day, but it was worth it because I often stumbled upon interesting, atmospheric sights by chance, and the atmosphere of New York came through better.

My itinerary for 6 days

Day 1

Early morning Times Square (I was up at 5am due to jet lag)

Bryant Park

I also went to the Empire State Building

Build a Bear Workshop - it's not usually listed among New York attractions, but I think it could be a very good program for all ages

Madison Square Garden

Flatiron Building
Friends Experience: The Friends Experience in New York is a must-see for all Friends fans, bringing iconic scenes and sets from the show to life. Visitors can step into Monica and Rachel’s kitchen, sit on the orange couch in Central Perk, or pose in front of the famous purple door. The exhibition features meticulously recreated sets, costumes, and props that immerse visitors in the world of the show, while interactive elements help immerse visitors in the characters’ worlds. The show’s creators will also share their personal experiences and learn about the inspiration behind the story.
The exhibition is not only a nostalgic journey, but also a perfect photo opportunity, so it is guaranteed to offer a memorable program for anyone who has ever laughed together with Chandler, Ross, Joey, Monica, Rachel and Phoebe.
