I live close to three citi bike stations - my favorite being the one right outside Central Park on 110th and Adam Clayton Powell. Download the app and ride your bike through the park! (Cheaper than renting bikes inside of the park)

For only a $3 ferry ride (which is enjoyable in itself!), you can visit one of the most unique places in New York. Full of history, beautiful scenery and gorgeous architecture, this is a fun sightseeing spot to visit!

Citimapper
The app "citimapper" was (and still is) my best friend with navigating the city. It's a great app that helps you get anywhere using the subways, uber, walking or biking. It will tell you if any subways are delayed, tips on which area of the train to sit in, and even tell you how many calories you'll burn off in your walking! :)
