I m going there in March! I m excited.You could check out:-Strawberry Fields-Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island-Ground Zeroand take a nice slr camera with you, it s a great place to do some photoshoots. :]
i live like, 45 mins form the city so i go there a lot! i like going to the hugeee sephora store and trying all the makeup out. ice skating is over-rated and kinda crowdy. you would go to the wax museum, that can take up a few hours. and i LOVE the restaurant, jekyll and hyde. its halloween themed and all the waiters and waitresses are dressed up. its fun.good luck and be safe!
If a play is out of the question, you can at least shop in some broadway stores. Check out the American Girl store, see if you can get tickets at Rockefeller center for the NBC tour. It s pretty cool and you could see some stars . You ll see Jimmy Fallon s studio, SNL studio,etc.
