Keith get a map of the island, and then figure out where you are staying in relationship to that. Its bigger than you think. If the weather is nice and you are close to Central Park that is pretty nice. Grand Central is quite impressive, Rockefeller center also, but will be swamped with touristas. The retired air craft carrier is open again, and that is real nice.....Cab it all over the place and you will have a nice experience....the subway isn't all that much cheaper at all when you have two and its kind of a pain in the butt. Cabs take plastic now. Food it depends upon what you like. But it is tough to find a crappy meal. If you like museums you are in the place. Can't remember if we did the horse rides, but I did jog by the stables.

If you are driving, then pay the parking garage fees unless you can move the car on the street(assuming you find street parking). I got nailed with a $225 dollar ticket for too close(10 or 12 feet from a hydrant) And it goes without saying leave the dualie at home!

Note: Not cheap, and not on sale, but truly unique.

Have fun
