Hi all

After everyone's great help and suggestions with Vegas at start of this year, I was wondering if anyone had done NYC?

Every year at start of December we do the Christmas Markets normally in Berlin, but have choose NYC this year. Unfortunately we have limited time there. Land 6pm Thursday 1st and fly out 8am Monday the 5th so just a long weekend. Hotels not far from Time Square so pretty central. Anyone any "must sees" or tips?

Want to get a list to cram as much in as I can, Shopping, Christmas stuff, and sight seeing, and with short time there is like to get a rough plan together.
Am guessing somehow try to fit in:-
Empire State
Ground zero
Statue of Liberty
Somewhere decent to get a pastrami sandwich
Macys


Cheers so much in advance. It's real appreciated

Camtech Craig asked the exact same , worthwhile searching for his thread

Mr Tee your a star. Exactly what I wanted. Thank you.

Have been searching so many sites to try to plan an itinerary for a short visit I totally forgot to search here before I posted question.

Thank you

Discount card for???

Sorry..

Every site I'm looking at for tips are saying its the done thing to buy a NYC discount card that gives you entrance to 3-4-5 sites. I.e statue Liberty, View from the Rock etc. Apparently you can jump the ques with a Vip line?

Or did you just pay as you go?

Ahh, no, we were there for 10 days so just wandered/took our time/went where the moment took us Had no fixed plans

For a short trip i would definitely get an open subway ticket , so much cheaper & faster than cabs. You will have to make a shortlist of what you want to see, but take a wee bit of time just to wander about, one of my favourite places .
