Answer 3

There are many tourist attractions, such as the statue of Liberty, Elis Island.

If you apply in advance you can go to the Federal Reserve in downtown NYC, you can buy tickets for a broadway show at tkts, you can go to museums (art, history, etc.)

You can take them to a cute small restaurant called Serendipity 3, they have a dessert there called Frozen Hot Chocolate.
