You could hark back to history and begin by checking out the New York harbor first. After having an eyeful of the stupendous Statue of Liberty, you could move on to Manhattan where you could have some of the most luxurious days of your life. The Manhattan downtown is very different from the uptown area, so it is a good idea to check out both of them on two different days. Make it a point to take the beautiful sights of Manhattan as you are driving, or walking, over the Brooklyn Bridge.
There are tons of iconic buildings in the New York City that you have to schedule your itinerary to visit. Most of them are quite close to each other, so it should not be difficult. New York has the world’s greatest transport network in any case. Taxis are also always easy accessible and affordable.
Places that you should absolutely not miss are the Empire State Building, which you must visit at night, Times Square, Lincoln Center, Rockefeller Plaza, the United Nations building, the New York Stock Exchange building in the financial district and the very unfortunate World Trade Center site. Pay a visit to Central Park also. For those interested in art, places that must be part of the itinerary include the Guggenheim Museum, Brooklyn Museum of Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art and the very interesting Museum of Sex. The Grand Central Terminal is also a place that you must visit for its architecture and to find out just how busy a train station can get!
