How do you choose visits without rushing?
Focus a walk on Lower Manhattan: Federal Hall, the area around Trinity Church, then Battery Park. Changing boroughs requires another journey.
Choose two or three places in one area. Note booked time slots, allow for travel and leave a margin for queues. A distant venue deserves a separate journey.
