The wife wants me to take my lad (18) to NYC for a 4 night break, she doesn't fancy it so I've been assigned.
This is very much in the planning phase so no dates or times etc but I gather that winter in NYC is pretty expensive? It'll be our first time in the USA so on the agenda is full on tourist stuff, what's the best things to do to get the proper NYC tourist experience?
Guessing:
Central Park
9/11 Memorial
Times Square
Empire State Building
Broadway
Statue of Liberty (been told to just do the Staten Island Ferry?)
I'd like to stay in Manhattan (or somewhere central) so we're close to things to do due to the length of stay, would be nice to catch a Broadway show, go to Katz's Deli, see the Flatiron Building, Lego stores/s, Ghost Buster firehouse, and maybe walk across the Brooklyn Bridge.
Essentially, I'm looking to max out 4 days (maybe 5?) and do "NYC" so that it's a bucket list type trip.
Anything I need to be aware of, should do, defo shouldn't do etc? I'm not breaking the bank for the trip but I'm also not trying to skimp on it. Budget and spending money for a usual tourist trip would be great!
