Good places to go in New York? Tons of them. What do you like to do? Whatever you like to do, you'll find the best in the country there - everything from the museums, to the restaurants, to the theater, etc. You can play tourist and see the sights - go to the top of the Empire State Building or take the boat to the Statue of Liberty, just walk around Central Park and/or Midtown and/or Wall Street, etc.

If I were visiting Manhattan, I would leave the car at home, and go by plane or by train. Getting around Manhattan without a car is a lot easier than getting around Manhattan with a car; you can easily walk, take the subway (another tourist sight), cabs, etc.

BTW, Boston is about 215 miles from New York, not 300 miles.

Greenwich Village

I like to take a walking tour of the Village. Starting around Bleeker
and McDougal, the old Italian section, and stopping off at the park near the West 4th subway entrance to watch the best games of street-style basketball. Then across 8th street, lots of shops, to Broadway. Hudson News, at 8th on B'way, has the best selection of Magazines from around the world, and a secure undergraound parking lot right next door. Down B'way to Tower records, then over to Washington Square park to people watch, and there are plenty of street performers. Find a nice Bistro on a side street for a sandwich, or down to Chinatown for an all you can eat buffet, or over to Little Italy for a sauce fix.

It also depends upon whether she has been living in Manhattan for a while and whether you have already done the sightseeing bit before.

Don't even try the driving thing in Manhattan. Take the subway, buses or just walk. You will enjoy it much more and you will get around much faster (even by walking).

Check out the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the early morning and then grab a hot dog in Central Park. Take the bus down Fifth Avenue and get off at St. Patrick's Cathedral and then walk over to Times Square to see how Giuliani changed it from porn central to Disneyland north. Grab another bus or subway down to West 4th Street and walk around Greenwich Village see the bohemian side of Manhattan. Then walk down Broadway to Canal Street where you will make a left to go to Chinatown. Have some dinner at the Peking Duck House at 28 Mott Street and order the duck after starting with the steamed dumplings. After dinner, walk a little north across Canal to Little Italy and grab some coffee and dessert at Ferrara's at 195 Grand between Mott and Mulberry Streets.

As you can see, each of us can instantly think of half a dozen parts of Manhattan that are inspirational, each in its own unique way. There are lots more areas and sights - the trendy Upper West Side, the affluent Upper East Side, Rockefeller Center (always a treat - although I associate it most with winter ice skating), the Central Park Zoo, etc. And the Museums! The Met (that's the Metropolitan Museum of Art), the Guggenheim, the Museum of Modern Art...

In case it's not already clear, you can spend all day walking around lots of different parts of Manhattan without running out of exciting things to see and do. So leave the car home, bring your walking shoes, and have a great time!

And make sure you buy the $7 all day fun pass (metrocard) for the subway. You can ride the subway all day as much as you want!
