I love NYC! Here are some ideas of what you can do while in NYC. First, get a good tour map. Then I recommend you take the BIG APPLE double decker tour bus for an overview of the city. There are several different neighborhoods so I'll highlight these and what to see:


Upper East Side: Metropolitan Museum of Art, Guggenheim, Whitney Museum. Walk up and down Madison Avenue for awesome shops and boutiques 96th - 57th st. Walk Park Avenue for architecture all the way to Grand Central Terminal and see the treasures located within. Walk along 5th Avenue to see/go in and out of Central Park - go for a run, go to the Central Park Zoo, go to the Carousel, go for a gondola ride at the boat house.


UPPER WEST SIDE:


Museum of Natural History -a must! on Central Park West,


Walk along Columbus Avenue. Visit the West side of Central Park and pay respects to John Lennon's Strawberry Fields.


MIDTOWN:


Shopping - 57th St (Chanel and the gang), Fifth Avenue - must see Henri Bendel, Bergdorf Goodman, Saks and FAO Schwartz - many other fun stores.


St. Patrick's Cathedral


Museum of Modern Art

Go west to awesome new Time Warner center and visit the new Mandarin Hotel bar/restaurant for awesome view and treats!


Oh, Bloomingdale's is on 59th St and Lexington.


Empire State Bldg.


The Intrepid Aircraft Museum is fascinating and on the West side...worth the visit even if you have no kids.
