Hi everyone! I have been lurking here for a few weeks now, and have already learned quite a bit. I have booked the Belvedere Hotel. We will be arriving at Newark airport on a Sunday around noon. We will be staying four nights; departing Thursday evening at 6 p.m. Please help with suggestions for our proposed itinerary.

Attend 1 Broadway Show - (Hairspray?)

Attend 1 Taping - (Conan O%26#39;Brien?)

Central Park

Dakota/Strawberry Fields

Brooklyn Bridge

Empire State Building

NYC Library

Chrysler Building

China Town

Little Italy

CBGB%26#39;s

Ground Zero

Rockefeller Plaza/Center

Times Square

Ferry Ride - Statue of Liberty

Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. This is a once in a life time trip for us!

Thanks.

The Empire State Building is fun, but could take a long time (the weekends take over 3 hours from start to finish). Times Square is great to see, especially at night. Ground Zero has always been a place I try to go to see how things are progressing and moving on.

The Ferry Ride to Ellis Island and the Statue of Libery is obviously awesome, but again is time consuming.

The Met is great and you can go at your own speed.

The Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges are great to see, but there%26#39;s not much else I%26#39;ve ever done but just look at them as I passed by.

I%26#39;m sure Chinatown and Little ITaly would be great for you also since you can go at your own speed as well.

Madame Toussant%26#39;s Wax Museum on 43rd or 44th near Times Square is kind of fun as well.

And if the Billy Crystal one play 700 Sundays is still around, I would recommend that

Hope this helps

Thank you for your suggestions. We are really thinking of just taking the regular ferry that passes the Statue of Liberty - not the one that stops at Ellis Island. I guess what I%26#39;m trying to determine is if we have enough time to see all the sights I listed.

Thanks again for your help.

If time is worrying you, you can get to the ESB cutting out ALL the queues by going to Jack Dempseys pub on W33rd St. They have a VIP pass that they lend you(you have to leave some form of ID behind) and it gets you straight to the top free of charge...well for the cost of a meal anyway. Not too bad pub food either
