Visiting NYC after Christmas, suggestions on what NEEDS to be seen and done? -

After Christmas, some friends and I want to take a little road trip to New York City just for a fun thing to do while we re on vacation from school. We re all 17 and 18 and we re going without any adults so we need some help with what we must do while there. We re from a really small town in Massachusetts that s about 4 hours away from NYC so we re not really city people . A few of us have been to NYC before but still, we re curious to know what we should see/do.We already plan on going to:-Times Square and having that be the basis of our trip because it seems to be in the center of everything, unless a better place would be suggested.-The Rockefeller Center and Top of the Rock-Central Park-Chinatown-Empire State Building-Ground ZeroLike I said, we re teenagers and the guys going like sports and the girls like to shop, so shopping will probably be a big part of the day haha. What stores a must-see while there too? We know we wanna check out the M M store and Toys R Us, but what else?We re also gonna try not to sight-see too much because we only have the day, but we ll do some sight-seeing as we go along, like taking pictures at the Empire State Building and things like that.Also, should we just drive around doing things (though that d waste gas and it d be extremely hard to park everywhere) or just park in one place and walk around doing everything? Where s a good place to park? And what would be the best day after Christmas to do? We d still like to see the tree and decorations, so would between Christmas and New Years be good?I posted this question yesterday and got a great answer, but I d like some more feedback. The guy who gave my best answer yesterday said we should park in Bryant park, does that sound like a good plan? Also how would we take a train into NYC? What stations are between Western Massachusetts and NYC that we could take isntead of driving into the city itself? Thanks!

Hi! Im goning to NYC in 2 weeks, and i think that list of yours is PERFECT. Exactly that is what i plan on doing when im there too! but you should include Broadway for sure, maybe even Comedy Cellar or the Late Show with Letterman... hmm definately try the pizza, the bagels, and the chinese food in new york, its awesome!!! also go to the MoMa and the American museum of modern art. Central park and rockefellar center are good ones to do for sure as well! HAVE FUN!
