48 Hours in Manhattan

A smart, local-friendly itinerary to make the most of two days in New York City.

48 Hours in Manhattan
In this story

Two days in Manhattan is enough time to see a real slice of the city, if the itinerary is built around a small number of neighborhoods rather than trying to cover everything at once.

Day One

Start in Midtown for the skyline views and the energy of the Theater District, then head downtown by early afternoon for SoHo’s architecture and shopping before a relaxed dinner in the West Village.

Day Two

Spend the morning in Central Park, continue to the Upper East Side’s Museum Mile, and close the trip with a sunset view from one of the city’s rooftop bars.
