5. Chinatown. Lots of good food, lots of great culture.

6. The Bronx Zoo. I've never been, but I hear it's really spectacular.

Answer 5

I was born there. You should see The Empire State Building, Times Square, Rockefellar Center, if possible see a Broadway show, South Street Seaport, Central Park, The Metropolitan Museum and the American Museum of Natural History, also The Museum of Modern Art. Have a safe trip

Answer 6

Empire State Building. Staten Island Ferry. Rockefeller Center. United Nations. Ground Zero. NY City Library. Central Park. Be sure to taste the pizza, ride the subway, and take a taxi.

Answer 7

See all the usual tourist spots in the morning while they are still empty eg top of the empire state, spend mid morning shopping (I recommend the Soho district because all the big stores are on one main street and there are wonderfully quaint outdoor vendors) , then have lunch in one of the many little sandwich shops, with a cheesecake dessert, then head back to down town manhattan for a few more sights (check out the expensive 5th avenue stores, if only to lust after the gorgoeous things inside), gravitating toward times square as it gets dark (best time to see it). Later on catch a show on Broadway (some booths sell the tickets for half off when you buy it that day)

Answer 8

ground zero just to pay ur respects. Walk near wall st. Also, visit the statue of liberty. Try to visit some of the good museums. Go and see the skyline. Its amazing.

Answer 9

Statue of Liberty

lots of good restaurants in Greenwich Village

Times Square (hang onto your wallet)

Circle Line boat tour around the whole island (very cool)
