Taking a day trip to NYC with my girlfriend. Does anybody have any ideas or recomendations of what we can do?

if its a nice day you can take her to central park/ellis island/times square etc..def take her on top of the empire state building and as for the evening go to this website and it has every and i mean every bar/lounge/club/pub/resturant in NYC... www.clubplanet.com my suggestion is go to DUVET for loung and resturant... -Paulo

Ideally you would need 3-4 days to see and expierence everything...you can't do it in one day...trust me

See Central Park, there is a fountain where musicians play. Go to Carngie Hall. Take a boat ride around Manhattan. See the Mets. Metropolitan Museum of Art. Walk around Greenwich Village, see some jazz, find some in Village Voice newspaper. More restaurants than anywhere. Apollo Theater. Off Off Broadway plays. Films that show no where else.

All the tourists like to do the bus tour: http://www.coachusa.com/newyorksightseeing/ Being from Manhattan, I like to visit the Metropolitan Museum of art and then go for dinner and drinks. It's hard to be specific for you as you did not mention any of your interests. Good luck and have fun in the city.

During the day, Circle Line, evening the Village!!!!

Woohoo...you're in for a super time! Here are some ideas of what you can do while in NYC. First, get a good tour map. Then I recommend you take the BIG APPLE double decker tour bus for an overview of the city. There are several different neighborhoods so I'll highlight these and what to see: Upper East Side: Metropolitan Museum of Art, Guggenheim, Whitney Museum. Walk up and down Madison Avenue for awesome shops and boutiques 96th - 57th st. Walk Park Avenue for architecture all the way to Grand Central Terminal and see the treasures located within. Walk along 5th Avenue to see/go in and out of Central Park - go for a run, go to the Central Park Zoo, go to the Carousel, go for a gondola ride at the boat house. UPPER WEST SIDE: Museum of Natural History -a must! on Central Park West, Walk along Columbus Avenue. Visit the West side of Central Park and pay respects to John Lennon's Strawberry Fields. MIDTOWN: Shopping - 57th St (Chanel and the gang), Fifth Avenue - must see Henri Bendel, Bergdorf Goodman, Saks and FAO Schwartz - many other fun stores. St. Patrick's Cathedral Museum of Modern Art Sony Bldg Rockefeller Center Go west to awesome new Time Warner center and visit the new Mandarin Hotel bar/restaurant for awesome view and treats! Oh, Bloomingdale's is on 59th St and Lexington. Empire State Bldg. The Intrepid Aircraft Museum is fascinating and on the West side...worth the visit even if you have no kids. CHELSEA: Walk around the blooming area sprouting awesome restaurants and shops. Chelsea Pier is fun. WALL ST: Pay respects to the 9/11 victims and heroes at the WTC site., Walk Wall St., visit the Chase Hdqtrs, Federal Reserve. Seaport area is great to see. THE VILLAGE: Funky shops in the West Village. Walk through the NYU Washington Square Park. The East Village has some shops from new artists and designers SOHO: Great galleries and shops on n off West Broadway. Walk thru to Little Italy for awesome meals and desserts...walk through Chinatown. CANAL STREET has stall after stall of Designer "copies"...bring cash and bargain and watch your purse! These should put an awesome smile on your face. Bring your camera and takes lots of photos to remember your trip. You'll have a blast! OH Don't forget...BUY this weekly magazine: TIMEOUT NEW YORK on any newstand to see what's going on each week/day. :)

I.m not gonna tell you what to do I'm just gonna tell you how to end it. have dinner in Little Italy somewhere on mulberry st .;Cafe Napoli, Pelligrinos, Check out the menus and pick a place . Do not order desert. When it gets dark either walk or take a cab down BWY{ -2 blocks west }- to South Ferry . Take the free ferry to Staten island and back. return to Mulberry street for desert and espresso.

Top of Empire State Bldg., Walk in Central Park, walk down 5th Ave., stand in front of NBC for Today show in the morning, ride a subway, See a matinee, Walk up Central Park West, eat a hot dog and a slice of pizza, ride a carriage in Central Park - touristy but fun, if it's too touristy rent a horse and ride in the park, shop at Bloomingdales and Macy's, hang in the East Village or Meat Packing District, Chinatown & Little Italy and plan on going back again.

Go to the wax museum http://www.nycwax.com and take funny pictures with the celebs. They just installed a new exhibit with Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, and their new baby. The extra admission price to see the exhibit goes to charity.
