re: NYC with teen daughter

Pizza places like Lombardi, St Joe, or Prince St are good iconic places that won't cost much. I would do Wicked, it's better than most of the shows that I've seen and perfect for a 15 year old. I always like the food tours. I've done the one in Greenwich and Meatpacking. Gives you a nice tour of the neighborhood and you get to try a bunch of different things. The Starlight cafe is also fun but you'll wait in line to get in.
