Thanks for all kind revert, in this case i might as well purchase on the day itself, Any notable area in NY worth visiting ?

If you have the time take the full day tour,it's free and tips based. You will see the main sights. No visit is complete without Times Square and the Wall St area. I like the Central Park area, a good refreshing change from the city. Also the Soho area

How abt Flushing Queens? Worth a visit? I have a half day tour from the agency which i booked, or else i have half day on my first day OTOT. Any recommendation for half day in NY, shopping or sightseeing.

For me I really enjoyed the MET Museum I'm not even a museum person but strangely I was very engaged there.

I'm not sure what's out there that you'd want to go to.

Try heading all the way down to the bottom end of Manhattan - at Bowling Green station - and wander around the old financial district. The Museum of American Finance is great; you can see out to the Statue of Liberty on a clear day; and there's the WTC Memorial not far away either.

depends on what you want to do. If you only have 1/2 day, personally, I would prefer to go to one of the museums or wander around different neighbourhoods. Flushing is nice lah but donno if you want to go all the way there. flushing meadows park is nice. u might recognise some locations from man in black Flushing Meadows

Yep but it was pretty similar to the natural history museum in DC which I went the previous trip. Seeing the mummies in metropolitan was freaky yet cool.

I haven't touched US soil since 1994, hope to visit the museums in DC next year.

and the air space museum in DC has the Wright brother's plane explains why it's so crowded whereas most Singapore museums (excluding ArtSci Museum) are empty!

yes, the airspace museum in DC is really nice. the postal museum was oso nicer than expected! we thought it would be a good time filler but ended up spending more time than expected there

Is it possible to open a USA bank account if i'm just there on travel?

Cause I was intending to change money here then go down to LA to open a savings account and dump my cash in.

Interested in getting a Bank of America Savings account.

Anyone done something like this before? Is it possible? I only understand that I need to provide my USA address.
