[quote=Anonymous]Done this several times...

- stay in fun hotel if you can, one with a nice view.
- top of Empire State Bldg - pre-purchase tickets and pay extra to get the express (or whatever it's called) access so you don't have to wait in line.  Make sure to go to very top and go outside.
- Have at least one dinner at a special dinner place, like a steak house that serves giant pieces of cake for dessert
- Intrepid (aircraft carrier - kids always love it)
- Take a Circle Line tour (no need to actually go to the Statue of Liberty - just take the two-hour tour that goes around Liberty island).  Buy tix in advance on circle line website.
- Fun Broadway show (not a late or after-dinner show though as younger kids will fall asleep or be cranky during show)
- In winter, go ice skating at Rockefeller Center (rent skates there -- super easy)
- Eat pizza at one of the many amazing pizza places (check out TripAdvisor or Yelp for suggestions near your hotel)
- Natural History museum if you have time, but skip if not - we have great museums in DC
- Perhaps World Trade Center 9/11 location and/or subway and/or other museums (Frick/MOMA) for older kids[/quote]
