I just came back from there 2 weeks ago and wish I made a thread like this before I went. Wish I took the subway more, it's easy and cheap... I stayed in the upper west side and from midtown it was about $15 cab ride, which isn't too bad if you're splitting it... but $2.50 subway is hard to beat. MoMA was my favorite stop. We took the greyline tour and we seen pretty much everything we wanted to see... I recommend the night tour if you do that, they go over to Brooklyn and you get a nice view of Manhattan. They also did a cruise around the statue of liberty and it was good, apparently if you want to goto Liberty Island you have to be there pretty early and they only goto 3pm... Also Empire State building is open to 2am so its best to go later.... I just skipped it and went to the top of the rock instead which has the best sitelines. The WTC 'tribute center' which is a small 'museum' near the memorial was disappointing and I would skip that, but the actual memorial was good. It's a great trip though, I had a great time and you will too!
