Looking for off the beaten path day trip recommendations for NYC. I grew up going often and have done most of the major sights; my husband’s been a few times and has covered the big stuff too. Our girls (9 and 12) came once, two years ago and we did the Natural History Museum, Central Park, Balthazar, and John’s Pizza. We’re considering the Met but aren’t sold on it. Looking for recs that feel a bit more unique/local rather than the standard tourist spots bonus points for family-friendly.
