Here is just a sampling of ideas for your time away from the convention center.ChameleonsEye/ShutterstockThe APA annual meeting in New York City in May presents a tremendous challenge to attendees, as the scientific program will be fantastic, leaving little time to enjoy “the greatest city in the world.” Nevertheless, here are 50 suggestions of fun things to do in your free time. There are at least 50 more that could be suggested. The website NYCGO.COM is a great place to find out even more about interesting things to do in New York, some on the usual tourist circuit and some where tourists may be outnumbered by locals. I look forward to seeing you in May.1. World Trade Center Memorial and Museum2. Freedom Tower3. Empire State Building4. Statue of Liberty5. Tiffany’s6. St. Patrick’s Cathedral7.
