I live in the city now and something my fiance and I love to do is walk the Brooklyn Bridge. It is a bit touristy, but the views are great. I second the high line suggestion. If you go around lunch time, you can also duck in to Chelsey Market. It has a bunch of little food places and would be a great way to grab an affordable, but great lunch.
Another favorite place is the Frying Pan. It is an old boat and barge that has been converted into a bar/restaurant. It serves the typical bar food/drinks at NYC prices. Not sure if it will be closed for the season at that point but might not be. I've always found it relaxing. Last edited by Bestdj777; 09-13-2013 at 12:08 PM.

Nice Affordable...
Italian restaurant on Eighth Ave..between 52 and 53 Da Tommaso. Make a reservation and ask for a window table...you can people watch as you eat dinner. My wife and I recently went to Jersey Boys and ate here. It is a short 5 or 6 block walk to the theatre from the restaurant. The website:

Wife and 2 teenage girls? They'll LOVE 5th Avenue in the 50's! OK, so that may be a bank breaker.
Madame Tussauds is pretty good. Buy tickets in advance online to save some. http://www.madametussauds.com/NewYor...Fcaj4Aod53UAZQ Brooklyn Diner on 43rd. Touristy, but not too pricey and nice portions. http://www.brooklyndiner.com/ St Andrews on 46th. A bit pricey, but not outrageous. Good food. Add a few stars if your a Scotch fan, as they have a separate Scotch Menu that is huge. http://www.standrewsnyc.com/ My other recommendations no longer exist Unfortuantley ESPN Zone closed a couple of years ago, which was a favorite of my kids. And worse, Mickey Mantle's closed a couple of years ago. I loved that place! Decent food, cold beer, and great ambience. I closed that place a few times!

Museum of Modern Art on 53rd is interesting.
http://www.moma.org/ (If they still have the sex art exhibit, skip that part. Some of that stuff was pretty disturbing!) Last edited by timzcardz; 09-17-2013 at 01:21 PM.
