Central Park
If you do one thing on your first morning, walk into the park from the southeast corner before 9am. The light is low, the joggers thin out, and you'll understand the whole city's shape in an hour.
The 843-acre center of the city. Free, open at 6am, and the one essential nobody regrets.
