You'll have to tell us what you LIKEThe Morgan Library is gorgeous - historic, with cool exhibitsThe Discovery Times Square Exhibition Center has really good exhibits, on a rotating scheduleI always go to the opera, or to the symphony (But that is the business I am in.) Jazz at Lincoln Center is a block away, at Columbus Circle - and you can get a good lunch in the Whole Foods market - you choose,they weigh, etcThe best burgers on the planet are at P J Clarke's - across from Lincoln CenterSTAY OUT of Ed's Chowder House next door - they do lobster everythingbut those are NOT real lobsters - some kind of miniature mutant shellfish thingees - ickFor good meals and real deals - go to Restaurant Row - the next block west from the Marriott Marquis HotelRide the glass elevators in the Marriott Marquis, check out the 8th floor lobby and shopsat night, go to the revolving bar/restaurant at the topGo to The Cloisters - WAAAAY uptown - and be in a medieval castle/monastery - coolGo to the new Yankee Stadium - you can take the train theretake the tram to Roosevelt Island, or go to BrooklynGo to Arthur Avenue in the Bronx - hit the great zoo, then shop and EAT incredible Italian foodWant to stay in Manhattan?
