Central Park, museums, the botanical garden, visit Yankee Stadium (my dad would be thrilled to discuss that experience with you LOL)

Have fun! Can't wait to see the pictures.

Get a t-shirt from the original CBGB before it closes for good. They've lost their lease and a bit of Rock-nRoll history is going away.

First of all, you MUST get a pass for the subway. They are incredibly efficient when you know how to use them. You'll want a good map that shows the stations. The plastic coated Manhattan tri-fold map that you can get a Borders or Barnes & Noble is a great one.

Second, if you'll be there that long, I'd recommend taking the circle cruise. A three-hour boat ride around the island. This will help you get oriented and give you an appreciation of where things are in relation to each other and how near/far they are. And, if you have a good guide on the cruise, you will learn a lot about the city as well.

Third, even if you are not into theater, you need to see a couple of boradway productions. I'd recommend seeing a couple of different types (musical, drama). If you haven't been before, it's worth doing.

Fourth, eat pizza. I'm from Chicago (land of Chicago Style Pizza), but I love NY pizza too.

Fifth, explore Central Park. There's a lot thre to see. Take your time.

Sixth, museums. Art, Science, ... explore, learn, ...

Seventh, take the Staten Island Ferry (It's Free). Take it at night for some great views of the city.

Eighth, visit the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.

Ninth, eat other food (sure, you could eat pizza every meal, but there's too much there to explore).

Tenth, ... well ... get a "things to do in NYC" book and see what captures your interest.

Eleventh, HAVE FUN!
