For killer things to do in NYC on a tight schedule, ditch the tourist traps and hit these: sunrise at Brooklyn Bridge, quick MET visit (rooftop views!), and secret jazz bars in Harlem. A car helps reach farther spots like Flushing's food scene. Found this awesome 3-day game plan with smart transit hacks here. Pro tip: reserve museum tickets at night!
