Thank you so very much!

Well, anything is possible, but you have a very packed itinerary. Whether you get much out of this trip depends entirely on the particulars, but there's nothing on this list that is not do-able in 4 days.

Moma is open late on Friday (until 8) and it's free then as well (after 4pm). It will be crowded, especially from 4 to 7, but an hour or two there is sufficient for most people. The Metropolian Museum is open late on both Friday and Saturday (until 9), and it's inifinitely better to visit when there are fewer people (i.e., after 7).

Do you mean Staten Island or the Staten Island ferry? If the ferry, then do that in the morning on Monday or Tuesday, then go to Century 21 and to Chinatown for lunch and to SoHo after that. The subway service downtown below Wall Street is very spotty on the weekends due to construction.

Coney Island is not worth the trip unless you really want to ride the Cyclone and have a Nathan's hotdog. Otherwise, this is a 90-minute subway ride you can skip.

I'd also skip Madame Tussaud's, which is both expensive and not very interesting. If you still want to go, make sure you score a discount. You can print out a $6 discount coupon at www.broadwaybox.com.

There are a lot of good shows, both on and off Broadway. If you have not yet booked your tickets for a Broadway play, then you will be limited to what is available the days you plan to go (i.e., nothing really popular or current), and in that case I'd suggest you buy half-price tickets at the TKTS booth at the Marriott Marquis hotel. I'd suggest looking for tickets for Thursday night or a weekend matinee for Broadway.

Thank you. I heard Madam T was not worth the time or money. I appreciate the feedback.

There are some touristy things in NYC that are worth the time and money, though, including Top of the Rock (but not, regrettably, the Empire State Building IMO). When you're downtown, maybe take the time to walk halfway across the Brooklyn Bridge (the entire way is probably too much) if your 74 year-old is up to the walk.

I agree, it's do-able if you skip Coney Island and don't actually visit Staten Island. Central Park is not near any of the other things you've listed, except the Met, so combine those two. Finally: the garment district now characterizes itself as the "Fashion district" so if you're looking up area maps and such, try that term too.

Thank you. We will skip Coney Island. I just booked tickets for Spamelot on Sunday eveving July 6th. We will do the thge mnet and central park. We were probably going to do the met in 2 days (?) as when done in 1 I am certain, will be too much. We hadnt planned the Empire State Building or a very sad sight, Ground Zero.

My husband is from Long Island and says you cannot walk the bridge. I assume things have cjhanged in the past years to make this possible.

Walking across the Brooklyn Bridge is now a very popular itinerary item for NYC visitors.

The Garment center / fashion district isn't really much to see.
Back in the day it was packed with people moving racks of clothing that had been made in the sewing factories in the area.
Most of those sewing jobs have gone now, and many buildings in the area are being converted to office space or residential apartments.

You could always walk the bridge. Being from Long Island he probably didn't know that since it's not something that locals do - unless they love exercise, live in Brooklyn and work in Manhattan. (We're to and fro on all bridges seeing views all the time - walking on that one isn't a special treat for us.)

Forget Madame Tussaud's - a waste of time - and Coney Island - a very long trip and 1940's in flavor in a not very salubrious residential area.

Great! Thank you! I will post on my return!

I've been to Madame Tussaud's (don't ask), and would definitely skip it!
