If you only had 3 days to visit NYC...

I pretty much did exactly that. I think we had 2 days in fact. We went to the top of the empire state building, visited the world trade center site. We wrote on the graffiti wall there. You must have pizza in NYC. We went to china town and little italy. There are crazy cheap store fronts all over the place to hit. We saw central park, rode the subway, went to the Met, went to Macys, Tiffanys, and Toys R US. We took lots of photos at Times Square. We took a ferry to see the statue of liberty and Ellis Island. We went a bunch of other places too but those are the most general ones. I am very into art and pop stuff so we saw a lot of that.

I live in New Jersey, 20 minutes from NYC. I have been to NY many many times. I haven't seen everything, but I know that if I thought really hard there are a lot of sites I have not seen that would be wonderful to visit. I have been to the Statue of Liberty, the twin towers before they were destroyed, ground zero, the united nations, central park broadway shows, rockefellow center, times sqare and many many others. NYC, is the city that never sleeps, there are so many things to see and do there.
