Things to do in New York: the best activities for an unforgettable stay

Have you finally booked your tickets to New York? Congratulations! Get ready to discover a city that never sleeps, where each neighborhood has its own identity and every street looks like a scene from a movie! But before you leave, here's a selection of must-do activities to make the most of your stay in the Big Apple, without forgetting to take a little French touch home with you.

1. Admire Manhattan from the top

It's impossible to visit New York without going up a skyscraper. The Empire State Building or Top of the Rock will give you an incredible view of the skyline. At night, the city lights create a magical spectacle that's definitely worth seeing!

2. Take a walk in Central Park

A true green lung of the city, Central Park is the perfect place to take a break between sightseeing. Rent a bike, stroll along the lake, or simply sit on a bench with a takeaway coffee: you'll feel like you're in a Friends episode!

3. Discover Brooklyn and its artistic atmosphere

Walk across the Brooklyn Bridge and explore Williamsburg or Dumbo. Street art, vintage shops, little gourmet spots… Brooklyn is a real breath of fresh air for creativity.

4. Immerse yourself in New York culture

Broadway for a show, the Met for art lovers, the MoMA for fans of modern art… New York is a global cultural capital. Even a simple stroll through Times Square gives you the feeling of being at the heart of American energy.

5. Keep a little bit of France in your suitcase

Traveling is about discovery, but also about asserting your identity. Why not play with the contrast between your French side and New York energy? Our "Parisienne de New York" T-shirt or "Not Arrogant Just French" sweatshirt become perfect companions.

• Practical for your long walks through Manhattan.

• Stylish, but with that little bit of humor that makes you smile.

• A way to show your French side while integrating into the American atmosphere.

Because after all, that's what the French Abroad Paris spirit is all about: travelling, being inspired, but always keeping a part of France with you.

In New York, every day is an adventure: skyscrapers, museums, parks, shows, trendy neighborhoods… But the real secret to enjoying the city is staying true to your style. So get your sneakers, your camera ready, and above all, don't forget to add a French touch to your looks with French Abroad Paris .
