Itinerary Help Please

I%26#39;m going to New York on my own on June the 8th to the 18th, and have got pretty much all of my itinerary planned, but I have 1 full day and up until 4 pm on my last day to fill.

Do you guys have any personal suggestions of stuff you%26#39;d do/see/experience, that you would like to share with me?

Places I%26#39;ve already decided and placed: Central Park, St Johns Cathedral, Top Of The Rock, Madame Tussads, Bronx Zoo, Broadway - ';Wicked';, American Museum of Natural History, Empire State Building, NY Skyride, New York Public Library, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Ellis Island, Statue of Liberty, China Town, Little Ital,y, Times Square, Grand Central Station, Macys, Bloomingdales, Saks, 5th Avenue.

My Hotel is on 19 West 31st Street, but I%26#39;m not too bothered about jumping a taxi, walking or getting public transport :)

I cannot imagine what interest anyone would have in Little Italy. It has not been an Italian district in decades, and is instead a row of mediocre pasta restaurants on Mulberry Street in what is fundamentally a part of Chinatown. If you want a real echo of what Little Italy used to be like, go to the St. Anthony feast up in the Belmont section of the Bronx (at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel church on 187th Street.)

I think you should consider walking the Brooklyn Bridge, and perhpas checking out Brooklyn Heights and the Promenade before that. I also think the Frick collection is a great museum.

Little Italys more of a %26#39;lookie I%26#39;ve been there%26#39; kind of thing.

I can%26#39;t believe I forgot the Brooklyn Bridge!

Thank you :)

Don%26#39;t fill it yet. After ten days in New York, there will be undoubtably something that you wish to go back to. Maybe it%26#39;s a neighborhood that you just liked walking around in. Maybe it%26#39;s a store that you found out is having a sale. Maybe it%26#39;s a restaurant that you want a final meal in before heading home. At this time, you don%26#39;t know what the possibilities are. Keep the date open.

Remember, don%26#39;t be a slave to your itinerary. You are the master of your trip.

Thats good advice :) But as I%26#39;m going my self, I want to have a detailed plan that I stick to, so that my family back home known where I%26#39;m going/what I%26#39;ve done.

I think I%26#39;ll keep the 18th free of anything, just general walking around and revisting stuff then, and definetly the Brooklyn Bridge on the 17th.

How about going to Rockerfeller Plaza and The Top Of The Rock.I cannot see going to New York without going there.Radio City Music Hall has a backstage tour you can take. Go to the NBC experience store which is in Rockerfekker Plaza.They sell tours for NBC and Rockefeller Plaza which might interest you.Little Italy is really only one block and not very interesting.China Town is more interesting great places to eat there.Stop by Beyant Park which is next to the library great people watching.

The one thing I was determined to do in NY was go to the natural history museum and unfortunately it was RUBBISH. Definitely do walk over the brooklyn bridge. If you double back under it to the DUMBO region you%26#39;ll find the brooklyn ice-cream factory if its hot,or if its cold there%26#39;s a famous pizza place where everyone queues up %26#39;cos its so good (Grimaldi%26#39;s??)When we got too tired to walk we got the open top bus tours to brooklyn and round down-town manhatten - we saw so much we%26#39;d missed walking. Do sit where you can hear the commentary - not near the back by the engines. Have a great time.
