Answer 1

spots to visit: the planetarium, the wax muesuem, ripley's believe or not, toys r us (hey its not everyday you see a working ferris wheel INSIDE the store), dave and buster's (food, booze, big screen tvs and video games all in one place, you can't go wrong), espn zone.

how to travel: always use public transportation. its cheaper (a fun pass is $7. its a unlimited and you can go on any bus or subway in nyc for 24 hours) and environmentally safe. if you are going to take the path to nyc, you will be in penn station (NYC); right below msg. you can either take the 1,2,3,a,c,e one stop uptown to times square or you can walk 8 blocks to times square.

you must do the big piano on the floor at fao schwartz (like in the movie big), you must do chelsea piers (all assortments of fun) and you must do one of those bus tours.

have fun

Answer 2

Pizza - By the Slice - Joe's -- Carmine Street By the Pie -- John's Bleeker Street or Arturo's Houston Street. All in or close to Greenwich Village, worth a visit.

Answer 3

Go to the Hayden Planetarium, way cool, totally state of the art.
