Take the tram over the East River to find Gothic ruins, a modern tech campus, and wide-open waterfront parks.
Not the Empire State Building. A dawn walk over the Brooklyn Bridge, a lime rickey at Tom's, a free kayak on the Hudson, a 1 a.m. set at Smalls. Fifty specific things, and how to do each one.
You have done the dinner. Here is what to do with the rest of the night, or the whole Saturday: classes, museum evenings, late jazz, a trolley through Green-Wood and day trips up the Hudson.
More than just observation decks, this is our guide to seeing the skyline from every angle, from waterfront parks and bridges to rooftop bars.
