Whether you’re a local or visiting the area for the first time, it can be hard to figure it what to do in a city where everything is happening at once. Luckily, New York City allows tourists and residents to go from a calm walk in the park to a lively night out in just a short cab ride. If you’re looking for a new corner to explore, put the following neighborhoods on your to-do list.

3 NYC Neighborhood to Visit

1. Greenwich Village

This vibrant neighborhood in Manhattan’s lower west side has enough charm and history to fill days of sightseeing. Take a cab to Washington Square Park and enjoy a photo op under the famed arch, or walk along MacDougal Street for a lively night at the Comedy Cellar—the underground spot where many famous comedians got their start. As the site of the Stonewall riots and the birthplace of the Beat movement, you can spend hours at marveling at the marks of ages past.

2. Williamsburg

cabWhile it’s right across the river from Manhattan, this neighborhood feels like a small city in its own right. During the warmer months, enjoy mouthwatering, unique bites from vendors throughout the five boroughs at Smorgasburg, an outdoor event that is worth building up an appetite for. Or, take a cab to the William Vale Hotel for a drink at their dizzying rooftop bar, Westlight. You could also walk along the river at Domino Park, a former sugar factory that features a dog run, a playground, and panoramic views of the water and skyline.

3. Astoria

This Queens neighborhood is renowned for its authentic Italian food, so take a cab to Vesta for a pasta pick-me-up. Then, head to the Museum of the Moving Image for an entertaining look at the history of film, television, and digital media. The museum recently underwent a $67 million expansion and now features a 267-seat cinema. Finish off your day with Czech and Slovak snacks at the Bohemian Hall and Beer Garden, the oldest beer garden in New York.
