Quick trip-New York
Looking to make a quick trip to New York City from TPA.
I want to do the most possible, get the full experience. What do you enjoy about NYC (ha)? Food? (Im not a wine and dine kinda guy, so if you have the best pizza place or something that works.) And if you have anything in general to add, speak up!

Lombardi's Pizza claims to be the first Pizza in the US. (1905) They cook it in a coal-fired oven. I would most certianly go there again. They are at 32 Spring Street.

Everytime I go to New York, I always visit the American Museum of Natural History. They have got Mythic Creatures on now.

After a day with the dinosaurs, I schlepp over to Chinatown, look for the smallest hole in the wall full of people who speak only Chinese, sit down and order my favorite dishes.

But I wouldn't want to live there...
And they also have a superb planetarium there. On the other side of Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art has loads of amazing exhibits. Enroute to the park, grab a pastrami sandwich from a deli and watch the joggers & skaters pass your park bench, or join them! On the Hudson River, the aircraft carrier "Intrepid" is well worth a visit. In Times Square, the "TKTS" booth sells same-day tickets to many Broadway shows at 50% off.

Just spent 2 1/2 months in NYC. I actually leave tomorrow morning to head back to Chicago.
The best way to get a crash course of the city is to do a double decker bus tour. There are 4 or 5 different tours but you can get a pass for all of them at a cheaper rate than individually. The nice thing is that if you want to get off and see a particular area, you can, and just hop on a later bus. They are all over and run about every 10 to 15 mins.
If you decide to go to the top of any building, forget the Empire State and go to the top of Rockefeller Center. You get the view of the Empire State Building and lower Manhatten, then on the other side you get Central Park.
Forget the pizza. It sucks here. The only real pizza is in Chicago!! But McSoreleys is definitely worth a visit.
Have fun,
Exx
