What to Do in NYC

This is some important information that might be useful for your visit to NYC. Please bear in
mind that I am not the EO. We need to decide what we want to do and where we want to
go together. To do so, can you please read the info below and check the links carefully?
1. Accommodation: check Airbnb for the cheapest possible accommodation. I live at
International House NYC 155 Claremont Avenue, Morningside Heights.
2. Transportation: register your credit/ debit card at https://omny.info/omny-card to enjoy
the tap-and-go public transport experience. The rate is $2.75 wherever you go including
connecting rides as long as you don’t go past the turnstiles. If you’ve tapped more than
12, it’s free for the remaining week.
3. Entertainment: download Fever and Ticketmaster to see the events in NYC. Fever is
good for special events and concerts while Ticketmaster is good for sports events and
concerts too. Book the tickets yourselves, but do this after we agree on where to go.
Recommendations:

a. Harry Potter: A Forbidden Forest: https://feverup.com/m/117678. Looks nice
b. The F.R.I.E.N.D.S Experience: https://feverup.com/m/110671. I’m a big fan of this
