Getting the most out of New York

[lucylocket]

Im from the UK and I will be visiting New York for 3 days in January with my brother for my 21st birthday.

We have bought tickets to see the Nicks but thats it. I want to do the obvious things like shopping, seeing the empire state building and the statue of liberty etc, but with so much to do I am lookng at sugestion as to doing as much as I can in 3 days.

I would be greatful for suggestions.

A short hand list of suggestions in this thread: http://www.wirednewyork.com/forum/showthread.php?p=129046#post129046
The outdoor suggestions will require you to bundle up in winter. New York gets very cold.

New York gets very cold.

Very cold, indeed.

Very cold, indeed.
But you can make a virtue of it: go ice skating. There are three great places to skate (and probably more): Central Park, Rockefeller Center and Bryant Park. You can rent skates on premises.

Wear lots of clothing layers and a scarf.
