NYC- suggestions ?
-
I am planning on being there around that time, actually. That is, I have to spend all of Oct in the US, and I am insisting on getting to NYC at some point. I assume I'll see the Empire State, the Statue, what else is there ?

In D.C. I would definitely recommend the Smithsonian there's(I think) 16 buildings and anything you can imagine is on display in one building or another. If you had a month it would not be enough time. My favorite was the Aeronautic and Space! N.Y. is just as awesome but didn't have the same amount of time to sight see there so I have limited knowledge of NYC. Enjoy

Oh, I missed that you said DC. The white house is OK to see, but nothing special, I mean, you recognise it from it blowing up in ID4, but you can't get close or anything. I loved the WWII and Vietnam memorials, the big needle thing, and the massive statue of Lincoln ( the one Clint Eastwood feeds pigeons from in In the line of fire ). The Smithsonian is awesome, give yourself lots of time, b/c you will need it ( as someone else said ).

Where ever it is, get as far away as possible.

Yeah, I got there last time, it was very cool, indeed.

Last time I went I had a guide and I would tell her what I wanted to see and she would take me to where it was. Cut a lot of wondering around time out. She was also a volunteer at the local zoo so I got the inside track there also, neat place as well.

Since no one has recommended it try the "Statue of Liberty". Empire State Building and the Museum's are also good to visit.

You could try the suicide booth. They have them everywhere in NYC. There only open at night and only located in dark-alleys.

If you're looking for something other than the traditional tourist traps my mom said the Tenement Museum was interesting and plans to go back periodically (IIRC they change the period they're showing every once in a while).

The Museum of Natural History and Intrepid/the aircraft carrier/ are my favorite places.

As others have recommended the various museums are interesting. Since my last contract in NYC was in the early 1990s I don't know if the places I used to frequent after work are still there. McSorleys[^] and Fraunces Tavern[^] I'm sure are still there, and Windows on the World (top floor of the World Trade Center South Tower) I'm sure is not. I don't know what else to recommend because I don't know the things you like to do. Chances are whatever it is can be found there. I'm an old man whose party days are pretty much behind me now so I wouldn't know what to do for fun in the city. Some of the younger folks will no doubt be able to direct you to some night life. Have a good stay in The Big Apple.
