Recommendations for NYC

I went with my 15 yo dtr so our plans were different but we went to the Rockettes performace, Yankees game, Something Rotten at the St. James Theater and a concert at Madison Square Garden.

During the day we roamed China Town, Little Italy, Soho, Harlem, Fashion District, rode bikes along the Hudson River, visited Central Park (Rode bikes there as well), went to the Met, Live with Kelly, walked across the Brooklyn Bridge. Phew we did do a lot and it was hot as hell. We didn't spend much time in upscale restaurants as we were more interested in doing -- just ate what was near where we were.

Oh and we went to New Jersey to Carlo's Bakery (her request).

We'd previously done Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Top of the Rock, and Rockefeller Plaza. Try to go to visitacity.com and you can see some of their suggested itineraries to give you an idea -- it was helpful for our planning to not be zig zagging all over the city!

Unless you have a specific question, then you can search NYC or New York or Brooklyn on here and the food board and find at least 10 threads in the past few months on the topic that will be a good place to start.

I'm in NY right now. Last night went to this place called Rare for a burger and drinks and it was awesome - fantastic roofdeck. I have a great picture but having trouble getting it to work. I'll load it later.

Edit: was able to load it finally

Idk about that. I had the app and it wasn't a huge discount. We weren't set on what to see so we went to tkts booth at 545, got orchestra tickets for Something Rotten for half price and then ate before the show at 7.

All tickets there are half off .. Great option if you're not set on a particular show.

And OP it was a mother/dtr trip and I didn't mind at all. We each had "a list" and shared the experience. She'll be graduated and gone before I know it!!

Get an all day pass on the subway and see it all. Musicals are great, didn't think I would like them but the shows are spectacular. Always had to hit Chinatown for great deals. Best steak in the country at Uncle Jack's just south of Central Park.
