Oh there are so many places to go and things to see! I would definitely recommend Central Park and the Highline (a park built on old subway tracks overlooking the city). Also, on the more tourist-y note, I’d suggest checking out the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, and the top of Rockefeller Center – I saw it at night and it was very pretty. Times Square isn’t that great…quite a tourist trap – you won’t find New Yorkers around there much. Try the unique restaurants; some are real winners. Good luck on your trip (if you go)!
