New York City is one of the greatest cities in the world. There are so many different things that you can do, and I cannot wait to tell you all the different things that NYC has to offer.

10. The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Metropolitan Museum of Art of New York City, colloquially "the Met," is the largest art museum in the United States. With 7.06 million visitors in 2016, it was the third-most visited art museum in the world, and the fifth-most visited museum of any kind.

The hours for the MET are as follows:

The Statue of Liberty is a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in New York Harbor in New York City, in the United States. The copper statue, a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States, was designed by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and built by Gustave Eiffel.

The Brooklyn Bridge is a hybrid cable-stayed/suspension bridge in New York City and is one of the oldest roadway bridges in the United States. Started in 1869 and completed fourteen years later in 1883, it connects the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn, spanning the East River.

It is always open because it is a bridge, duh, but there is a park you can visit.
