So, I've never been to NYC before.
I'm currently in Port Chester, NY through tomorrow. Then I'm meeting a friend, and likely going to head down into the city.

Taking the train in to Grand Central, plan on at least seeing the outside of the Library (Ghostbusters!) and then Central Park.

Was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on other smaller, more local things to check out? (I'm all for the local scene.) Won't have a car, so taxi or subway would have to do to get there.

Any pointers are welcome.

Wow, thanks guys!

Since I'm working from the hotel today, I'll map everything out and see what's possible.

I'm a laid back kinda guy - I'm not a fan of huge crowds and noise, but I figure I can survive it for a day to check out the city.

I'll likely not make pinball one of the top things - mainly because having never been here before, I need to put pinball aside (gasp, the horror!) and do generic touristy stuff.

Thanks again guys. Don't stop - I'm taking notes and checking locations and such of everything.

The full plan is to head down there tomorrow morning, spend the night somewhere down there, then around lunchtime, head back (where I drive home.)

So, will have a full day +plus some.

Quick update..

Got here this morning.
Went to site zero, then museum of natural history, central park and zoo.
Hotel is the New Yorker, it's 5 now, quick charge at hotel and then running over to Times Square.

Lot of walking. Whoo.

Is.. This a bad thing?

Grabbing a bite now, and then heading up to Times Square. Behind schedule but it means seeing the place at night.

I was more meaning it was even legal.

Calling it a night from the city, though roomie and I are going to explore the darker parts of this hotel.
On my phone until tomorrow night, will post pics then..

Thanks again guys for the ideas, made the day.
