So basically, what are some must see or do things in New York City?! :] I want to make the most out of my few days there.2-3 Days in NYC, must do things.?
Wow! I could go on and on and on and on about things you could do in the big city, but I won't, due to a limit of how much I can write. I guarantee you that no matter where you go, you will have a blast, because New York City is one of the best places to visit! I will list for you some fun things that you can do, and I will give you some websites and/or street addresses to some good restaurants, clubs and other fun activities.
While in New York, I STRONGLY suggest you go to see a fun show called Fuerzabruta in downtown New York. It is very fun! It's almost like a club, but there's no age limit! In the main lobby, there is a bar for refreshments, and there are souvenirs of the show, like little key chains and t-shirts. Here is the official website %26gt;%26gt;%26gt; http://fuerzabrutanyc.com/
Listed below are some excellent restaurants you should definitely try out. Also listed are their websites:

I am warning you now that I am not the greatest when it comes to shopping in New York City. I don't even do half of my shopping in New York; I do it in either Paramus, New Jersey or online. However, I did find a website where you can find some different places to shop, and you can narrow it down with what you want to shop for: http://www.ny.com/shopping/
Remember that these shops can be anywhere in the city, so be willing to go to Queens if need be.
As far as attractions, there are a lot of things you should go to see. You should definitely try to go see the Ellis Island and the Statue Of Liberty. The website I鈥檓 giving you is for directions to the ferry station, where you can go see Ellis Island and the Statue Of Liberty. Unfortunately, the interior of the Statue Of Liberty is closed, but the wonderful statue is beautiful. The website is here %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; http://www.ny.com/transportation/ellis.h鈥?/a>

Note: You will able to find a map of New York City at any newsstand, and newsstands are all around the city, so be on the lookout for them. Also, for transportation, there are maps in subway cars and on subway trains, and there are also maps in buses. The maps at bus stops are usually just for the bus route.
I hope this guide has helped you, and I hope you enjoy the many wonders you will find in New York City!2-3 Days in NYC, must do things.?

Hope this was helpful. Have fun :)2-3 Days in NYC, must do things.?
If you only have a couple of days here, take one of the double-decker bus tours. Even though it sounds touristy, you can see many neighborhoods and get off to roam around the ones you like, then hope back on. Times Square is great, esp. at night, but most of the restaurants are tacky chains you'd find anywhere. For both cities, I'd go on citysearch.com and check your own interests. It's important to lay out the places your going to visit in advance so you don't waste time backtracking and being stuck in lines. Below is a good map you can plan with. The subways are safe and fast for getting around. Grand Central is a hub and a beautiful station. Central Park is huge, but there's the Strawberry Fields Memorial across the street from John Lennon's apt. bldg. There's museum mile on 5th Avenue from 79th St up right on Central Park's east side. The Natural History Museum is on the other side of the park. with such a small window of time, you'll just get a taste, but have a great time!
Here's a pretty good list to get you started -- you should be able to do all this and more in 3 days if you make the most of your time. If you have time, do some neighborhood walking tours -- great way to get a better feel for the city.2-3 Days in NYC, must do things.?
I live in New York, and you must see Times Square. Ive been there hundreds of times but it gets me everytime I see it. Especially at night. Its beautiful =]
The MoMa [Museum of Modern art] Is really nice too.
Have fun!
I agree that you must see Times Square, it is beautiful and the brooklyn bridge, and Macy's. Macy's have a huge shoe department.
