Use your Seven-Day Subway Pass to take the Q or B train. They both cross from Manhattan into Brooklyn. The Q train starts in Queens, but goes through the main tourist destinations of Broadway and Times Square. The B train starts in the Bronx, but goes through Central Park. The Q and B trains both cross over a bridge into Brooklyn, allowing views from the window of the Brooklyn Bridge, the Statue of Liberty and New York Harbor. Once in Brooklyn, transfer to the N train to go to Coney Island. The whole journey takes approximately 40 minutes.
Go to your nearest subway station and take the 1 train. The 1 goes from the South of Houston District (or SoHo) to South Ferry, allowing for stops in SoHo and a ride on the Staten Island Ferry. SoHo is famous for its narrow streets of brick buildings lined with boutiques and art galleries. The main street in SoHo is Canal Street, which is a stop on the 1 train. After exploring SoHo, continue south on the 1 train to the last stop, South Ferry. From here, take the ferry to Staten Island and enjoy a great view of the Statue of Liberty.
Find your way to the A line. It runs alongside Central Park, which is 2 1/2-miles long and 1/2-mile wide. See the park in segments to save time and energy. Start with the Natural History Museum and Metropolitan Museum, leaving the subway at 81st Street. To explore the Belvedere Fountain, the lake and the John Lennon memorial, go to the 72nd Street stop and enter the park there. Stroll through the park on a sunny day to experience local artists and musicians.
Explore the impressive architecture of Grand Central Terminal and then hop onto the 6 train. This goes to Little Italy. Take the 6 train to the Spring Street station, walk east two blocks to Mulberry Street and explore Little Italy. Dine at an authentic New York-Italian restaurant.
Continue with the 6 train to see a different side of the Big Apple. The train also goes from Greenwich Village to Wall Street. Exit at Astor Place to visit the Bohemian neighborhood of Greenwich Village. Venture further south to the financial hub that is Wall Street, only five stops away but a world apart.
