Answer 2

Weather will be nice, and when I went the best part of my week was taking the helicopter ride down the Hudson River, to the Statue of Liberty then back up the western verge of Manhattan. The heliport is based at 30th and 12th and its something like 100 bucks for a 10min ride.

Answer 3

Everyone's taste are different but here are a few of mine:

See YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN on Broadway
Eat at Carmine's on Time SQ (Portions are large. very large)
Eat at Angelo's in Little Italy
Go on top of the Empire State Building
Take a tour on Circle Tours (boat around Manhattan)
Go to Birdland (Jazz Cafe of historical significance)
Go downtown to The Blue Note (more Jazz or Rock)
On a Monday, go see Woody Allen play his clarinet at the Carlyle Hotel upper east side.

WX will be cool, maybe rainy and beautiful.

Watch people

Enjoy
