1. Combine the Statue of Liberty Trip with a visit to the 9/11 memorial. It's a must see
2. Broadway IS NYC in many ways..A Broadway show should be on your list of things to do. You can either order tickets in advance or go to the TKTS booth for half price tickets the same day..
3. NYC is food mecca, and for me, the absolute best experience is a NYC steak house. Peter Luger's is just awesome..it's also expensive, but absolutely well worth it. If I can be so bold, leave the wife that night with your sister...just take your son...it'll be a memory for the two of you.
4. The Circle Line around Manhattan, especially in the spring time...gives you a superb view of the city and the harbor.
5. The South Street Seaport..also in lower Manhattan..lots of neat shops and restaurants and exhibits.
6. Walk across the Brooklyn Bridge.
I am the mom!! LOL!! this whole trip is just the two of us...
What is the Circle Line?
We plan to ride bike across Brooklyn bridge- should we walk instead?
Broadway show and South Street both sound awesome!
Yes- the memorial is on the list- and the food! YES! thanks so much
Central Park is beautiful in spring.I was there last week but it hadn't started to bloom yet.
Call ahead - I don’t think Peter Luger’s takes credit cards.
