You should see, first of all, the statue at Battery Park. You should also visit The Museum of Natural History, The MOMA (Museum of Modern Art, there's a free day) and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Empire State Building is great, and don't forget Fao Schwartz and Toys 'R Us. Of course, the Times Square and the wax museum Madame Tussauds. You can't leave New York without taking a walk at the Central Park and going to a play in Broadway. Enjoy the New York pizza and, if you have time, you can visit the zoo.
