9/11 Memorial and Museum was a must see for me. Very intense feelings there.

If you like sports, a Yankees or Mets game.

Video Games New York is cool if you want gaming stuff to do. It's also in a fun area if you want to walk around.

Eat pizza at Joe's in the West Village if you want a classic NY slice or Pasquale Jones if you want a fancy pizza dinner.

One World Observatory is a stunning experience. If you're going to do a skyscraper, go there.

Go to New World Mall in Flushing if you want Chinese food.

if pizza, the first choice should always be Prince Street Pizza.
their square pepperoni for one style, their vodka slice for the norm.

Yes, do this in addition to the two mentioned!

Already on my schedule! Going to see Lion King, Book of Mormon and maybe Phantom of the Opera and Beetlejuice if I can get tickets

Had this on mind as well. Is the Priority Lane worth it or just a waste of money?

Pretty sure you can just book a time online, so I don't see why you would need it

Yeah it's essentially like 20 stands of delicious food. Flushing is >>>>> Chinatown if you're into that, and the mall lets you have some of everything.

Haven't been to Golden Mall but I assume it's the same as NWM?

Nope, I just went to both for the first time and NWM was lame af in comparison. Golden Mall an impossibly grungy underground labyrinth with little English that apparently is the source of a lot of the bigger popular chains.

I hope you have more fun (and more time) than I did when I visited. In short, my manager at the time saw that I took two days vacation before my weekend and in her infinite wisdom decided to schedule me for OT on my weekend days. Just one of the many things she did that made me hate her forever.

New World and Golden are both pretty good, I prefer New World personally but my experience is definitely limited. If you feel like riding out to Flushing its worth a go. If you dont, then you can probably get something like Xians if you want something quick or Joes for Dim Sum in the city.

I like Central Park a lot, probably the most New York place and you can definitely spend a whole day there. Its close to the major museums around there too (Natural History, MOMA, the Met etc)

I find the area in West Village to be really neat, and pretty trendy. I like going to Saigon Shack and then Pommes Frites. Theres something nice about a combination of pho and Belgian Fries.

Walking through Brooklyn Bridge is pretty awe inspiring imo. Not overly familiar with the area but there was a neat park there with food trucks on Sundays? I cant remember the name of it.

Dont really know much about nightlife and surprisingly Ive never had a slice of New York pizza

That sounds fucking wonderful. I know what I'm doing this weekend.

Anything interesting in the area? (wouldn't go that far just for pizza)

Looks good. And the park nearby seems like a nice place to visit.

Will be staying very close to it, so I'll definitely be passing through a few times

Also on my plans!

Is the Liberty Island worth going to?
And anything worth seeing in the Bronx?
