Museum of the City of New York
The Museum of the City of New York is tied with the New York Historical Society for my favorite museums in New York. It’s a bit of a hike up toe 103rd street & 5th Avenue, but worth it every time. Make sure you tag along for one of their guided tours as there always something amazing to learn 🙂
Intrepid Museum Flight Deck & Lockheed A12
The Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum has to be one of the best museum’s I’ve ever been to. The Intrepid ship first set sail in 1943 and served in both WWII & in the Vietnam War. She was decommissioned in 1974 and turned into a museum in 1982. On the right is the famous supersonic jet, the Lockheed A-12 built by the CIA (1962-68). Only 13 were made and only 7 remain.
The Enterprise Space Shuttle
The Space Shuttle, Enterprise, was built in 1976 as the first space ship designed to carry astronauts into space and back. Although the Enterprise never actually went into Space, you can think of it as the grandfather to all current and future space ships. The ship was transported to NYC this summer and is now a fixture on the Intrepid Museum.
Fort Tilden Beach
Fort Tilden State Park has my favorite beach in New York City. It always amazes me this is within the city limits 🙂
