Six Cool Things to Do at Night in NYC
One of the best ways to tour The Big City is under the stealthy cover of the night which allows careful avoiding of the massive crowds of tourists. Why not plan an evening tour of NYC where visitors can bask in the glory of the bright city lights, cool breeze and the amazing nightlife that New York City is renowned for?
1) Take the NY See The Lights! Tour from OnBoard Tours. It starts at 7pm every night. Eat ice cream under the Brooklyn Bridge while gazing at the lights of lower Manhattan.
2) Take a nighttime stroll through Central Park for The American Museum of Natural History’s Evening Bat Walks where bat experts will point out various species of bats present in the park. (American Museum of Natural History, Central Park West at 79th St.; www.amnh.org; Fri 16, July 23, 30 8:30-9:30pm; $30).
3) Join The Amateur Astronomer’s Association to gaze at the beautiful stars and planets through advanced telescopes in the High Line. (The High Line at 10thAve. & 14th St.; Tuesdays now through October, 8:30p.m.- 10p.m.; free; www.thehighline.org).
4) Another great nighttime activity is joining Time Up sponsored Moonlight Rides in Central and Prospect Park where visitors can enjoy the scenic natural beauty of the parks without the distraction of daytime crowds. (Central Park: Meeting place at Columbus Circle, southwest corner of Central Park & 59th St.; First Friday of every month, 10p.m.; free; Prospect Park: Meet at Grand Army Plaza, Prospect Park West at Union St, Park Slope, Brooklyn. Second Saturday of every month, 9pm; free; www.times-up.org).
5) Or perhaps you are better suited for a trip to Coney Island for their Full Moon Ride which entails a pitch black roller coaster ride in the dead of the night during the full moon of the lunar cycle. (Coney Island Cyclone, 834 Surf Ave at 8th St, Coney Island, Brooklyn; coneyislandcyclone.com).
6) Book a private night time tour with Onboard Tours and plan your own itinerary or enjoy a few of the above activities.
7) Try out some infamous restaurants with amazing dinner menus including the likes of Serendipity, Balthazar or Mario Battali’s eateries Lupa or Babbo.
