Just out of curiosity are you just going to NYC? NYC is just a small portion of the New York state, there is the Catskill Mountains, Adirondack Mountains, Hudson River to check out. There is also Niagara Falls, Tug Hill region(only place in the state without cell reception and 3G network!!), the Finger Lakes region, also known as the Wine area, there is a ton of small winery's and wine bus tours. Then there is also other nice cities, Rochester(birth place to photography, Kodak), Syracuse, Buffalo, Albany, Utica, Binghamtom, Ithaca, etc.. If you get out of the city New York can be a very wonderful state, not just one large city as most people seem to think it is sometimes. Hope you have fun on your trip, also to note NYC is not as bad as some might think, I am sure there is a ton of members here that will tell you that also!!
