Evening 1: Go to a Broadway or off-broadway show - and sometimes the off-broadway shows are better and cheaper than the broadway shows.
Day 2: Don't miss the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island; it's a full day of exploration, but very, very, worth it.
Evening 2: Explore Chinatown/Little Italy. Enjoy a fabulous meal.
Day 3: Spend a day at the Metropolitan Museum of Art; the closest to it in the USA is the Smithsonian, which is heavier on culture, less on art. Spend another day at the Museum of Natural History. You'll love the dinosaur fossils, the hall of human development, etc.
Evening 3: Walk over to Lincoln Center and enjoy the entertainment they've got for free; take in a meal at the Italian restaurant across the street from Lincoln Center (Forget the name, but the food is fantastic. It's right across the street from Lincoln Center, on the 7th avenue side.)
Day 4: Take a subway to Fort Tryon Park in the Bronx, and view The Cloisters. It's a breath-taking medieval museum, originally funded by JD Rockefeller - who collected All Things Medieval. Or.... if baseball season has started, head up to Yankee Stadium or out to Shea Stadium for a ball game.
Evening 4: RELAX.
Day 5: Shop along 5th Avenue or The Village or Soho.
Evening 5: Take a Hudson River Cruise -- but take it at night. Very romantic, very fun.
ANd, somewhere in there: save 3 hours for your LJ/BtVS/AtS pals. Announce in your LJ when you will have a few hours free, where you'll be and voila! The NYC contingent of your flist will see you in Manhattan!!
