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!
Im from NY and i always go to the city these are what i would do:



go to madame tussauds wax museum

eat at jeckyll and hydes

FOA Schwarz is an awesome toy store that i would absolutely go to if its your first time. Or go to the big Toys R US with the ferris wheel, thats cool too.

its fun to see a show but you probably would rather do as much as possible instead of staying inside for so long.

go shopping, the stores in the city are 10 times bigger than the ones in the mall.

walk around times square and see where they record all of the tv shows.

wall street is really cool also.

go to chinatown and get cheap designer bags, jewelery and sunglasses.
