I took my 19 year old daughter to NYC in July. She especially loved Little Italy, the "knock off" stalls in Chinatown, the play RENT, and the H&M store.

Our teens loved the Ellis Island Museum and The Met.

Now, this will probably sound incredibly ignorant, but I can't name one piece of artwork I saw at The Met. But I absolutely LOVED the Egyption room, the garden atrium with the gorgeous tile works, and the special exhibit of First Ladies' dresses. So, I'm embarassing myself just to say that The Met is an incredible experience, even if you are not an educated art-lover.

Also, I really think the Radio City Music Hall Xmas show is amazing. Our teens loved it, too, as my daughter dances and my son loves everything theatrical. The stage works (mechanically changing sets) alone are worth the price of admission!
