GRBFLYER, do all the things that have been recommended already. And don't forget that NYC is not only Manhattan. Visit the NY Zoological Park in the Bronx, locally known as the Bronx Zoo. Also the NY Botanical Gardens in the Bronx. The NY Aquarium at Coney Island, Brooklyn. The Museum of Motion Pictures in Astoria, Queens. Sorry, but I can't think of anything in Staten Island. It's impossible to run out of things to do and see throughout New York City. As a native New Yorker, I realize I'm a little biased, but it is the greatest city in the world. Enjoy and keep us posted.
