[quote=Anonymous]When I lived on the upper west side, my parents would stay at the Hotel Newton on Broadway when they visited. I think it's reasonably priced and it's clean and reliable. It's also in a great neighborhood.

If I were you, I would pick general geographic areas to spend half days in, particularly if you don't mind walking. So, the suggestion to do the High Line and Chelsea Market for lunch was a great one, and you could add some shopping in the West Village (probably good for a 16 yr old!). Another combo of things could be Fifth Ave, Rock Center, and MOMA (and Central Park if you're really ambitious). I would do MOMA over the Met because it's such a cool building, even if the art isn't really the draw. Great gift shop too. If you want to see the 9/11 Memorial, you can then walk down to Battery Park from there. There's a great Chinese restaurant down there.

Don't be afraid of the subway. Get a map and ask for directions if you need. New Yorkers get a bad rap for being unfriendly, but they'll gladly help you if you ask. Also, consider the bus. It's above ground so gives you a bit of sight-seeing and can help you get oriented, and on a weekend it's not that much slower than the subway.

If you post other specific interests, I'd be glad to make more suggestions! [/quote]
