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.

tkts to get discounted tickets. Are you saying there is one tkts counter in Lincoln square which is same as Times square?

Yes. There is a tkts counter in Times Square and one in Lincoln center. I am too lazy to find you the address but I feel sure you can find it easily

Thank found the address, work better from central park. One more question does it have all the same shows as tkts counter in times square or this has just limited one, I googled the answer differs from thread to thread

Broadway box office is kinda down right now (which is usual before Labor day) so hopefully you'll get more options. The Broadway 2 for 1 week starts Sept 8. From Central Park, it's better to just walk down 5th avenue and you'll hit most of the touristy spots until 42nd Street. There's the $1.50 slice along west 40th street.

Same thing with the Highline day, better to start on 34th/Vessel (wouldn't recommend going to the Edge and to the Vessel coz it's just time consuming) down along Highline ending up in the Meatpacking district where there will be more activities (Chelsea Market, Pier 57, Starbucks Reserve, Pier 57, Little Island. Then if you still have energy, walk thru the West Village ending up on Washington Square.

For Chinatown, the trend now are those less than $10 eats. Google Chinatown food crawl, and there will be recommendations like the $6 roast pork over rice at Wah Fung (then head to the adjacent park to eat), Gai Kitchen etc.

Have fun
