Phil,
I was born on Long Island so here are some sights to see. While in NYC, try to see a broadway show. You can pick up unsold tickets the day of the performance and there usually no bad seats in a broadway theater. Radio City Music Hall and the Rockettes are great. South Street Seaport at the tip of Manhattan has sailing ships and a great view of the Brooklyn Bridge. The USS Intrepid, a WWII aircraft carrier that is now a great air and space museum. Take a circleline tour around Manhattan Island. They are guided tours on a boat and you can see all the bridges and a good look at the island. Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island is a must. Museum of Natural History and Hayden Planatarium are both wonderful to see. The top of the Empire State Building has a spectacular view. I can also list several places to see on Long Island. Teddy Roosevelt's house at Sagamore Hill, etc. How many weeks are you planning to spend in the Big Apple? How is this for overload?
