In a way, yes, access to the crown was closed since the pandemic started and it was reopened in October 2022.

Tickets must be purchased online in advance – and there are only a few tickets per day.

Grand Central Madison Terminal
Grand Central got an extension – Grand Central Madison Terminal is the new station that connects Jamaica-Queens (JFK) and Manhattan. Service to the station will begin with trains between Jamaica and Grand Central Madison, which will operate every 30 minutes during the day and on weekends and hourly during peak periods during the week. These trains will be extra – meaning there will be no change to existing trains to Penn Station and other destinations.
This means – among other advantages – that those who arrive at JFK and want to take the train to Manhattan can now choose between a train that goes to PennStation or one that goes to Grand Central.

Have you ever heard of the concept of Glamping? It is more glamorous camping. NYC Glamping offers a complete glamping experience, perfect for a couple, a family stay or, why not, to pamper yourself alone.

They also offer tents for those who want a more “wild” experience.

Marijuana legalization
In March of 2021, NY State legalized marijuana. It was a long time coming: lawmakers had been trying to pass the guidelines since back in 2018 but conversations would stall on the topic of tax revenue from sales. Finally, in December 2022, the first legal recreational marijuana shop opened in the city. Per the law, all adults aged 21 and older can possess up to 3 ounces of marijuana or .85 ounces of concentrated marijuana at any given moment.
With the news, it is now super common to see cannabis stores around the city.
Cassinos
The state of NY overturned the ban on casinos for the city and it maybe in the future, you will be able to experience a bit of Vegas in the Big Apple. Up to three licenses for full casinos will be granted, with an asking price of $500 million for each license. And it looks like Jay Z wants to open a casino in Times Square.
