This will be my third visit to NYC, going in April for 4 days. I’ve done a lot of the ‘must see’ sights already, including Statue of Liberty, MoMa, Broadway show, Central Park (but will probably still go back here), Time Square (will not go back here!) etc. I’m looking for some more hiden/less famous attractions that perhaps I havent thought of or heard of before. Any recommendations of what else would be good to see and do? I’m pretty much open to anything, I love food, sports, history, art, music.

@josh Since it’s your third visit, I’d skip the obvious and lean into neighborhoods and local experiences.
If you like music, go to Harlem for a live jazz night — much more memorable than another Times Square evening. The vibe feels authentic and intimate.
For something fun at night, try finding a speakeasy-style bar (there are plenty hidden behind unmarked doors). It’s a cool way to experience NYC’s nightlife beyond the typical rooftop bars.
If you’re into sports, catching a local game (NBA, NHL, or even baseball if the season has started) is such a New York experience — the energy is unreal.
You could also explore neighborhoods like Williamsburg, the Lower East Side, or even take the ferry to Roosevelt Island for a different skyline perspective.
NYC is best experienced by neighborhood, not by checklist.
