Thank you so much for your replies!

Kathleen, anything none BJ related I have to see to?

There are lots of things to see in New York. Most of the "big things" are covered in a guidebook to the city. These are the usual tourist things - pretty much from South to North:

Take the Staten Island Ferry - just for the ride and the view on the return trip

South Street Seaport

World Trade Center site

Wall Street and original Capital building

Little Italy

Greenwich Village

Union Square

Herold Square/Madison Square Garden

Take the boat to the Statue of Liberty - Circle Line Tours - Leaves from 42nd St.
--These people run boats to the Statue and boat tours completely around the island of Manhattan. The complete circle around Manhattan is well worth the trip and the cost. I take this boat ride about every 5 years and I live here.

Empire State Building - visit the top on a clear day for the view

Radio City Music Hall

Rockefeller Center/Saint Patrick's Cathedral - across the street from one another.

Central Park - any and/or all of it.

Metropolitan Museum of Art - if you don't want to go in - look at it from the park.

Upper West Side/Broadway

Upper East Side/Madison Avenue - where it's so expensive it's fine to look - you can't afford it anyway LOL

There are a million other places - those are the highlights - and I probably missed something. You should take the subway - at least once - just for the experience.

My favourite restaurant in the whole world! The website doesn't do it justice either.
