j_jza80 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 To add to your list: - USS Intrepid - Aircraft carrier museum & a nuclear submarine (hms would make it a British ship ) - Carnegie Deli: http://www.carnegiedeli.com/home.php (go here for breakfast, it's amazing!) - central park, around 8am - loads of dog walkers and joggers. - FAO Schwartz toy store (near the Plaza hotel on the south side of central park) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nige-rz Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I went on a cruise around the Hudson, and the statue of liberty etc one evening. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and along with the above list, it's one of the things I'd definitely recommend doing! Enjoy it mate, its a brilliant place.

RobUK Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Dakota Building - Where John Lennon was shot Macies - Shop till you drop Times Square - Great at night due to the screens etc Ground Zero - This really depends if you have been to NY before (i am guessing not) and seen the greatness that once was the World Trade Center.... if not.... it's probably not going to have the same impact. Statue of Liberty Rocka Fella Building 5th Avenue Park Avenue The list really does go on..... its an amazing place i love going to NY, try Trip Advisor its usually really good....

RobUK Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 To add to your list: - FAO Schwartz toy store (near the Plaza hotel on the south side of central park) Good Shout..... i forgot about that..... it's great in there Also actually go and look around The Plaza.... its a different world.....
