May I recommend the following.-Empire State Building-Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island-Times Square (no trip is complete without a visit to the Crossroads of the World )-United Nations-Central Park-Brooklyn Bridge (you can walk across it too)-Grand Central Terminal (largest railroad terminal in the world)-A Ride on the Staten Island Ferry (its free and you can see the Statue of Liberty as the ferry crosses the harbor)-The Pond at Bryant Park, which is free. However, the price to rent a pair of skates will cost you $12 a person.Good luck
