!8 New York big City tee-hee?

[Dreww B]

Hi, I'm 18 and I'm going to New York today to stay with my dad in his apartment. I'm going to college next semester so I can chill for a few days in the city. What are somethings I can do? Because every ''New Yorker'' is going to work besides me. So what should a 18 year-old do ?
Details, please.

Awesome! Wish i could play hooky from work. Many museums are closed on Mondays so Sunday is a good day to check some out. Museums: MoMA, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Natural History. Sunday brunch is also really popular: Prune, Bubby's, Clinton St Bakery. For Monday, you should just pick up a subway map and travel from the tip and head North. NYC is totally a walking town so bring a comfortable pair of shoes. Downtown: Ferry to the Statue of Liberty, head up the Westside Hwy and through Battery Park City for a nice stroll including the Trapeze from Sex in the City, Ground zero 9/11 site, walk down wall street and see the bull, the Stock Exchange has a tour, if you're interested in history, Brooklyn Bridge - you can walk halfway and walk back, J&R on Park Row to shop for electronics, Chinatown for some good food (any restaurant on Mott St, wonton garden or NY Noodletown for noodles, Jing Fong, Dim Sum a go-go or Harmony Palace for dim sum). From Chinatown, head up Broadway for some great shopping until you get to Union Sq. Little Italy is ok for desserts, not so great for food, really a tourist trap. Venieros on 1st and 10th is the best Italian dessert place. Spring St in Soho has great galleries and stores. From Union Sq, head to Midtown: Macy's on 34th st., Times Sq on 42nd St, free ice skating at Bryant Park on 42nd St, Rockefeller Center and the Tree on 48th St. between 5th and 6th, then head up 5th Ave for more shopping, Apple store, FAOSchwartz, then a pedicab ride or walkthrough of Central Park's ice skating rink, zoo, boathouse. Have fun!! Lots of good restaurants everywhere!

NY has most everything, so what do you like? There's museums, art galleries, history, food, sports, gambling, clubs, archtecture, libraries, entertainment, shopping, etc.
NY is really a collection of neighborhoods, so check out a few. If you're into the holidays, check out Rockefeller Center, Macy's, Central Park, etc.
Good luck with school & enjoy the chill time!
