oooh lucky you!
We were ther exactly a year ago, Autumn is a lovely time to visit.
I would definatley reccomend a Pizza restraunt called Lombardi's in the Tribeca district or a traditional American diner called Tick Tock Diner which is opposite Madison Square Gardens stadium just a few blocks away from Macy's and the Empire state.
Oh and if you are doing the whole tourist thing, the hop on/off city sightseeing bus is fab!! We used is as a taxi aswell as tour bus.
Have fun!! x

Three places:
1. China Town on Canal Street
2. Carmine's Restaurant, they have several in NY.
3. See the Brooklyn Bridge and walk it. If you get to the other side visit Jacques Torres, Chocolatier on Water Street. They serve a Wicked Hot Chocolate, that's the name, it has a little chile in, like Chocolate the movie; may just be cool enough to enjoy one.

Ooohhh lucky girl!! Have a fab time!

Tick Tock Diner is great as is Ellen's Stardust Diner (the waiters and waitresses sing rock n roll)
And for shopping go to the Woodbury Common premium outlets mall outside the city. If you go down to port authority bus garage in the morning you will find people in red sweatshirts selling the tickets, you can then get a bus to the outlet and they return at regular intervals xxx
You can look online at the shop directory to check you want to go first but will be great for xmas shopping and then you will know what you want to buy full price in NYC xxxxx
Have fun!!!

So excited (and jealous!) for you!! Drop me an email and let me know what sort of things you're after doing and I'll give you some hints and tips from my trips!

I second everyone else with Tick Tock Diner - I went there in April!

Oh and have a walk through Central Park (on a Saturday if you can!) it's amazing and so "New York" watching people jogging through the park.

Have fun! I went a few months ago and the best part of my trip was a food tour of Greenwich Village. It's definatley worth a look as it's not very touristey, has lots of beautiful architecture and the food places are amazing because their main customers are locals and a few A list stars x
