On the Hudson River, the aircraft carrier "Intrepid" is well worth a visit. In Times Square, the "TKTS" booth sells same-day tickets to many Broadway shows at 50% off.
The Intrepid is not currently in port. It was relocated for out of state for renovations...I think it will be gone for a few years. McSorley's is cool. Not very big. NY Pizza rules. La Mela in Little Italy, awesome family style italian restaurant!
