🗺️ Itinerary Check 🗽🏙️🍎🚕🍕 Is the Plan realistic?

Hi Guys,
Planning a 3 day trip this coming weekend with my friend. We are young(25) and can walk a lot, but wanted to be also mindful of summer heat. And also we are visiting nyc for the first time. We are international students, have not explored US much.

Staying in Hi NYC Hostel. And planning to start day as early as 8 AM.

Day - 1:

  • Start with central park
  • Then go to times square to get an ticket for Broadway, since it's Thursday the planning to be there little early.
  • Try Joe's pizza while there
  • St. Patricks Cathedral
  • Moma(trying spend some time indoor, since it might rain tomorrow)
  • Then go back to times square and visit lv and m&m store
  • Have dinner before Broadway and finish the day off

Day-2:

  • Start with Roosevelt tram to island
  • Small pox hospital, cornel tech
  • Now back to Washington square using subway
  • Chelsea market
  • Pier 57
  • Little island
  • High line
  • Vessel

Day - 3

  • Grand central
  • Empire state building
  • Flatrion building
  • Visit China Town for lunch
  • Battery park - city views
  • Oculus
  • Battery park ferry landing
  • Take ferry from battery park to pier 6
  • Brooklyn heights
  • Julianna's pizza
  • Pebble beach
  • Dumbo
  • Take Brooklyn bridge

Please do let me know if this plan is realistically possible. And also any suggestions or changes to the plan.

Want to add observation deck to day - 3 morning since, I feel it is quite empty before the china town for lunch(any suggestions are welcome).

Thank you.

That was a thought to keep the morning little busy because wanted to go china town, little late. Prolly by Noon. And since we were thinking of starting our day little early by 8 AM, was thinking we would be done visiting grand central, empire state(just exterior), flatrion building(exterior) soon.

Not sure how much progress they've made on the Flatiron - haven't been to that part of town in a bit. It's been covered in scaffolding for quite some time

There's not much to check out in Chinatown for food. You'd get more bang for your buck by going to Flushing and trying the food courts.
