New York County map
Choose the Manhattan base before the itinerary
Manhattan base decisions change subway time, evening rhythm, airport transfers, and how much Brooklyn or Queens belongs in the plan.

Guides

New York Arrival Day and Rain Plan for a First Weekend
A practical New York City first-weekend guide for airport arrival, rainy-day pivots, Central Park orientation, food-hall backups, and lower-Manhattan harbor timing without overbuilding the itinerary.
