questions about visiting NYC

[Ghost_Tracker]

I'm from Long Island and so I'm reasonably familiar with the city, but not really well enough to be giving suggestions for Italian restaurants, etc. But I'd like to recommend taking a Circle Line cruise, if you have the time for it. It's fun, you can sit down the entire time and still have a great view, and you get to see and hear about a great deal of the city. (It also passes near to the Statue of Liberty, although it doesn't stop there.) Empire State Building is ALWAYS great; but there's a long, long line. Rockefeller Center ("30 Rock") is a much shorter wait, and there's a great view of the city from "The Top of the Rock." If you're a fan of either show, Conan O'Brian or Letterman might be fun. I think you probably have to get tix fairly well in advance, though. (I don't remember at the moment how much longer Conan is continuing before he takes over for Jay Leno.)
