Reserve a spot ahead of time. My wife and I went a few years back and there was a few hours wait if you didn't have a spot reserved.

So we checked out the memorial and everything but ended up skipping the museum.

The high line is really cool.

Obviously there are no shortage of great places to eat and drink.

-Yankees / Mets game
-Highline is awesome - lots of cool bars around there
-Chelsea market
-If you wanna get the best views of the Statue of Liberty, take the Staten Island ferry (its free, and there aren't many things in NYC that are free lol)
-I'll second whoever said the 9/11 museum and memorial. And yeah get passes ahead of time.
-Smorgasburg in Brooklyn - a big outdoor food market in Williamsburg every Saturday

There's literally thousands of things to do at all times, for anyone and everyone, in this city.

Two of the best views of the city are in Brooklyn Heights and in Williamsburg. Williamsburg is a neat area in Brooklyn if you don't mind hipsters. The Met is top 3 museum in the world. Prospect park and the surround neighborhoods is nice walk.

9/11 memorial is kick arse

Memorial and museum are both awesome. I will do that again, just looking for other cool things to do that maybe I don’t know about or haven’t thought of.

I’ve got 3 weeks so I’ll keeep researching

Just my opinion, but instead of going into the museum (which takes money and additional time waiting in line), I'd just see the memorial, which you can just walk right up to.

If you want to see a "museum," go to St. Paul's Chapel which is nearby. If you're not familiar with it, it was a essentially a place of refuge, prayer, and rest for the rescue workers during the aftermath of 9/11.

You can feel tangibly feel the weight of the moment when you're inside. And there's also some museum-type stuff in there as well.

- John's of Bleecker St Pizza. My favorite pizza without a doubt. Walk over to Blind Tiger for a beer before.
- Governor's Island. Army post from American Revolution that's turned into a massive park.
- 911 WTC Museum. Buy tickets ahead.
- Tenement Museum. Highly recommend. More intimate tour guide through an original tenement house detailing immigrants experiences when they first arrived in NYC.
- Romantic dinner in West Village. Few places I've enjoyed: L'Artusi, Don Angie, Little Owl, Babbo
- Top of Empire State Building or Top of the Rock
- Rent bikes and tour Central Park
- Comedy Cellar. Ray Romano showed up when I went.
- Ellis Island
- Walk Brooklyn Bridge. I've walked day and night and enjoyed the night walk most.
