Looking for something to do in New York — compare local attractions, activities, and entertainment near you, from Times Square to spots tucked away in Brooklyn.
New York City offers everything from major landmarks like Times Square to smaller neighborhood attractions in areas like Brooklyn and Williamsburg that don't always show up on a typical visitor's list. Because New York City is a city that never really slows down, with new spots opening across the boroughs constantly, the best plan for the day really depends on which part of New York you're starting from — setting your exact location surfaces nearby options first rather than burying them under the city's best-known landmarks. Checking hours and season matters here too, since outdoor activities and seasonal events around New York City can be weather- or date-dependent.
Set your location above and each result shows current distance and status, so you can quickly see what's actually open and nearby right now.
Roughly, attractions and outdoor activities tend to be things you visit or do — like a landmark or a hike — while entertainment venues host scheduled shows or events.
Brooklyn and Williamsburg both offer a mix of local attractions and activities beyond the well-known spots near Times Square — worth exploring if you've already covered the main landmarks.
Most major areas of New York City, including neighborhoods near Times Square, have indoor museums, entertainment venues, and activities — filter for indoor options if the weather isn't cooperating.
