Answer:Go to Hard Rock Cafe at Times Square. Its cool
Also buy a ticket so you can go up in Empire State Building. Its an awesome view over NY. And just walk around in Central Park and in the rest of Manhattan. Its an awesome borrow Id also recommend to take the ferry to Liberty Island and the Statue of Liberty Answer:http://www.levainbakery.com/
Eat a chocolate chip cookie from Levain's. Its on the Upper/Middle WestSide.
If you are staying for dinner, try Mezzagiorno on Spring and Thomson. Getting a table outside is Bliss.
Answer:Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Instead of Empire State Building, go to the Top of the Rock at Rockefeller Center. I hear the lines are shorter and the view is just as good.
Take the ferry to Staten Island and back again; it's free and you get a nice view of the Statue of Liberty on the way.
Window shop on Madison Avenue.
Walk around Central Park–not at night, though.
Eat! There are hundreds of great restaurants.
Answer:NYC is a phenomenal place with endless amounts of stuff to see and to.
One of my favorite things is to see the city from the top of a building at night. Its like a sea of lights that goes on forever, really amazing. Two cool places to find this view are 1) the top of the Empire State Building, and 2) The top of Rockefeller Center. Empire State is higher, I think the observation deck is on the 86 floor or something, but I think Rockefeller is better, because they actually have observation decks on 3 or 4 of the top floors, and you can actually go stand on the roof of the building looking over a gate, whereas on the Empire State you are not on the roof but an observation deck only.
Whatever you like, whatever your interests are, do a few google searches and you will probably find something to do in that regards.
Make sure you get to Central Park too, its really cool to walk around a huge park, and completely forget that you are in a city until you look up and see buildings in the distance surrounding you.
Answer:I just got back and I recommend something called the Stray Boots tour "New York:the Game". We saw a lot more details this way, found places we wouldn't have known existed, talked to a lot of "New Yorkers" and had a blast.

One place though that I would spend a minimum amount of time at is Times Square. See it, but don't spend a lot of time there. It's interesting but way overrated as a tourist destination. There are so many other places worth seeing. Grand Central Terminal was great.
Answer:The link below can help you. Good luck!
Answer:Go to times square, museums national monuments
