I get the words of caution and I appreciate them but this is a once in a lifetime thing, I’ll never get another chance to see the Big Apple.
And do get a slice at a pizza parlor.
I’ll never get another chance to see the Big Apple.

You missed your chance. The Big Apple rotted on the tree two years ago. Be very careful where you venture
If you like jazz, go to a show at the blue note cafe in the village. It’s kind of pricey but we’ll worth it. A cheaper alternative is Small,s jazz club for local talent and a special experience. Walk through Chinatown and little Italy. Stopping to eat somewhere. Definitely go to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island tour. If you’re so inclined go to the Rosevelt Hotel and have a martini in their world famous lounge. Just a few of the things we did when our son and his wife were living there for a couple years on assignment. Don’t let people scare you away! NYC is one of the great cities of the world!
We also took the subway other places, but when we had to go to a bad area, labeled “Don't Even Think” to get to a coffee roaster we liked, we made sure we didn't again head to such places (but we went during the day and got back ASAP).
Here's the map I'm describing:
