Itninerary for 4 days - anything we missed? Tips?
Sorry, sounds too reasonable. No comment.
;o)
How about Top of the Rock? Not interested?
If you go to Central Park, make sure you spend an hour at either the Met Museum (if you%26#39;re on the east side of the park) or the Museum of Natural History (on west side of park.). Even if you are not ';museum people';, these are must-see things. You can take a highlights tour of the Met, or see the giant dioramas at the Natural History.
Despite the confusin language and instructions at the cashier and websites, both of these museums are PAY WHAT YOU WISH donations/suggested admissions AT ALL TIMES (except for special exhibitions/shows.)
Just hand the cashier money and say the number of people. (e.g. hand over $40 and say ';Four, please.';)
Itninerary for 4 days - anything we missed? Tips?
skip Little Italy(a waste) and walk the Brooklyn Bridge.
Ohhh..I second walking the Brooklyn Bridge! Delightful! Hope you enjoy the Dumont as much as we did. Be sure to take a stroll around the neighborhood.....we even had a great time in the grocery store around the corner from the hotel!

';Ground Zero'; , Grants Tomb, McSorley%26#39;s while in the village. You should cluster your sightseing adventures. Chinatown is one block from Litttle Italy.

Definitely walk the Brooklyn Bridge. Also an evening cruise on the river is gorgeous. What about the art galleries especially the Guggenheim and the Museum of Modern Art
Walk the Brooklyn Bridge with a daughter who sometimes uses a wheelchair???
Sorry, but no trip to NYC is complete for me without a trip to Ferrara in Little Italy. The best cookies ever - my husband gets very upset if I don%26#39;t come home with some (-:
Seriously, it%26#39;s a no miss spot.......
Hope you have lots of fun, and if you can do the walk across the Brooklyn Bridge with the wheelchair, it%26#39;s awesome!!
