-Dylans Candy Bar (A great candy store with a few stories to the building. the floor has candy in it)

-Union Square (Go on Saturday,  theres a great farmers market there and great shopping right there.)

-The Boathouse in Central Park (not the resteraunt although its great too. but right next to it you can rent small row-boats and row in a small lake there. nice scenery)

-FAO Schwartz (if its still up and running..i forget) but if not, great toy shop! lots to look at and such

-Central Park in general...its so pretty around April 20th and that time.

-The natural History museam (its really cool to see all of the items that they have. not like a usual old boring museam. it makes it more fun..to me at least :)

Answer 3

When you say "where to park" I hope that doesn't mean you plan to DRIVE in NYC???

NYC is NOT car friendly. Not for parking. Not for driving. Not for even THINKING about driving. Please - park outside the City and take mass transit in. Or better yet, just take mass transit from where ever you live TO NYC in the first place.

Then, travel around the City like a New Yorker - by subway and on foot. That's the best way to visit New York.

Answer 5

Well, if it is your first time. Go to the Empire State Building, the UN, Central Park, Ellis Island, Statue of Liberty, Times Square, Bryant Park has concerts a lot. 5th Ave. has high end shopping, but there are some less expensive things around there too. Hotels..it really depends on your buget. Go to expedia or something.

Answer 6

You could live in New York a lifetime and not see it all! Pick up a copy of the Michelin guide and start by looking at all the top starred attractions. This is the best of the guidebooks and includes a great map.

You can probably only get in one or two "touristy" activities a day, so pick carefully. Save your neighborhood wanderings for the evening - Times Square, Rockefeller Center, Chinatown, Greenwich Village, South Street Seaport. The populated, busy parts of New York are safe at night. Be cautious but not fearful.

I almost always park at the Port Authority Bus Terminal. It's conveniently located near the end of the Lincoln Tunnel (follow the signs) and it's pretty cheap compared to the downtown garages ($28 for 24 hours). Park your car and leave it! You should walk or take the subway as much as possible - driving in Manhattan is awful even if you know your way around.

A lot of the fun of New York is free! Walk around, take in the city and the people. Don't miss Times Square and Broadway (see a show if you can - get half-priced tickets at the TKTS booth), Fifth Avenue, Grand Central Station, Rockefeller Center and St. Patrick's Cathedral across the street, and Central Park (the lower end has many attractions; you don't need to see the whole thing). The World Trade Center site is moving. Walking around the neighborhoods at night is fun (see above).

Food is expensive and portions tend to be big, so plan accordingly. Split a lunch rather than carry around leftovers all afternoon. Grab a hot dog from a street vendor and then splurge on Lindy's Famous Cheesecake. If your hotel has a refrigerator, consider buying a few groceries and eating breakfast in your room (there are small grocery stores all over the place).

Have a great trip!

Answer 7

visit greenwich village

emp state building

chrysler building

central park

rockefeller center

times sq

statue of liberty

best thing to do about parking is to fly there and get cabs.. much cheaper

if that's not an option there are some all-day parking garages all over town, they are expensive though
