I previously posted a list of quiet places in New York City some time ago... My Mum is headed up to New York in the coming weeks and I was just reflecting about hat places to recommend to visit during her stay there. So here's my list of things to do while you are in the Big Apple aka New York City aka NYC: (Not in any particular order)

Midtown
• Go to Times Square; Go line up to TKTS (at the centre of Times Square) and buy a ticket for a Broadway musical.
• Go to Central Park, ride a bike or roller skate, perhaps go for a skate at the Wollman Skating Rink; walk down Fifth Avenue, visit the classy shops as well as that fancy toy shop. Go to Trump Tower and Rockefeller Centre.
• Go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art aka "The Met" for some famous art and historical pieces and relics

Downtown

• Go to Battery Park, pay your respects at the Twin towers Memorial, catch the Free Staten Island Ferry and catch a glimpse of the Statue of Liberty on the way.
• Go to Ground Zero to pay your respects. There is great (and cheap!) designer outlet right across the road from Ground Zero. Wall Street is walking distance - buy a hot dog.
• Go to China Town. Eat. Soak in the atmosphere.
