Go on the rooftop, make sure it's not a rainy day or it will be closed. Go see Egyptian section. For your knowledge the entry fee is a donation but they hide this info to tourists to charge them a high price. When you get at counter ask if it's a donation, give them $1, or $2 or whatever works with your budget!

I highly recommend breezy point at Rockaway to swim. Take the A, C to far Rockaway, then take the channel when you arrive at the last stop, get out of train station, take a right walk straight until the end of the block. Cross the street there will be a deli in front of you, right behind the deli there is a bus stop. It's the bus that will take you to Breezy point, with its ancient architecture, clocks, hills, a magical place.
