Three days in New York is enough for wonder, but only if you plan for rhythm.

Day-by-day structure

Day 1: Midtown + skyline

AMNH (morning)
Top of the Rock or Empire State (sunset)

Day 2: Harbor + memory

Statue of Liberty + Ellis Island (early)
9/11 Memorial & Museum (afternoon)

Day 3: Flexible lens

Choose one: Circle Line, Intrepid, Guggenheim, Edge, or Whitney

Transit logic

Rule	Effect
Cluster by neighborhood	Less subway fatigue
One major timed entry per half-day	Lower stress
Keep one open window daily	Recovery from delays

Non-negotiables

Reserve sunset deck first
Start ferry day early
Do not overbook lunch windows
Keep evenings emotionally light after dense museums

This plan does not maximize count. It maximizes memory quality.
