Things you should see
1. Central Park - you really can't miss it
2. Times Square - Ditto
3. Virgin Records in times square - they are closing it soon, so get there now and browse for a half hour, it's a cool place even if you don't buy anything.
4. A Broadway show - sounds yag, but the wife will LOVE it and as long as you stay away from the ones about gay sex, they are not bad. I recommend Chicago.
5. Museum of Sex - self explanatory
6. Empire State Building - very stereotypical tourist, but it is pretty damn cool. There is a trick to it though, go at night and MAKE SURE you pay the extra few dollars to go to the very top part. It is well worth it.
7. Scores - Howard made it famous, go to the one on the west side
8. The old CBGB location - John Varvatos turned it into a store for his clothes, but they have all kinds of memorabilia on the walls and shit, it's like a museum. It's at 315 Bowery in Manhattan. A must see. The birthplace of American Punk and the best live show club ever.
9. Sirius studios - DUH!
10. Rockafeller Plaza - there won't be any ice, but still cool to check out
11. 5th Ave - let the wife shop. Trump plaza is on 5th also, up near central park, and St. Peter's Cathedral where you can walk right in and look around.
12. World Trade Center sight - don't plan to much around it, not that much to see, you will be in and out in 15 minutes.
13. Statue of Liberty - It's worth a look, I haven't been there since I was 12
14. Yankees Stadium - oh wait they tore that down and put in home run park. Never mind
15. Shae stadium - oh wait they tore that down also and put in shity field. Never mind.
16. Coney Island - Shoot the freak, eat at Nathan's, check out the big hot dog eating contest billboard on the side of the building and take a pic with it. They closed all the rides though. There is also a minor league baseball stadium two blocks from Nathan's, check out a game.
17. Madison Square Garden - kind of boring if there is nothing there, it's only two blocks from the Empire State Building, put them in the same excursion.
18. Chinatown - buy the knockoff sunglasses, everyone does. Be careful where you eat.
19. Little Italy - it's really only one street that goes a few blocks any more, borders chinatown, mix them together. There is nothing off of Mullberry St really. They have a week long street fair in the summer, can't remember what month, but it might be now.
20. Studio 54 - not sure what it is now, but there is something there
that's it for today
