Its not Rockerfeller Plaza; I mean it is, but not to us- it's Rockerfeller Center. That's on 50th between 5th and 6th. That's where Saturday Night Live and Conan O'Brien and Last Call is filmed and stuff; there's a Coach store on the 50th street side. Radio City is right across the street on 6th.
-Times Square for sure
-If you're into the arts and all that stuff- Carnegie Hall which is not far from Times Square
-Central Park isn't bad
-The World Trade Center is all the way downtown on Church St.
-Union Square is cool- walk up Broadway another block and you'll see the big Reagal movie theatre; be sure to see a movie there.
Wanna go clubbing? Avalon on 20th and 6th. Be careful though- the drug dealers like to hang around there and sell ecstasy. Also if you encounter the homeless guy who lives in the little inlet next to the club- DON'T talk to him.
There's so much clubbing you can do; check out the different places- Midtown near Times Square is the place to be. If you get hungry you simply HAVE to eat at Stage Deli on 54th and 7th. Don't be surprised if you see Matthew Broderick getting a bite to eat, on my way to school I regularly see Conan O'Brien walking to work, one time I saw Broderick walking his dog, James Gandolfini on a Moped and I saw Julia Roberts in Union Square one day, so if you like celebrities then this is the place to be.
Just be aware and careful when you come here. Keep your valuables in your front pockets. We can spot tourists from a mile away and don't be all "Like OMG NYC is the greatest" in public. This place will chew you up and spit you out faster than anyplace else lol.
Best way to blend in? Try and walk like us- you'll see why it isn't as easy as it sounds.

The Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, and Central Park. If you have a lot of time there, stop by some museums, they are actually really nice. Definitely take the subway when you can. Walk around mostly, it's easier in the city and you can really get a feel for the place. 5th and 7th avenue are good places to take walks and shop. Broadway street is nice too. Times Square is awesome at night, so try to get there if you can. Take a taxi [not for a long trip] once in awhile too. Hope that helped.

I lived in New York for a good part of my life, and i still go back often. The thing about New York is the experience of being there. You just need to act like you live there: go to the everyday places, and all. But I guess spending the beginning of your trip in the tourist places and all would be good too, so check out Chinatown, Greenwich Village, and Soho, which are my favorites. Also, see at least one Broadway show, or it won't be a true New York experience. I recommend Phantom of the Opera, Avenue Q, and Wicked. (The Disney plays might be good, but they dont count as real Broadway plays. Just so you know.) And eat at John's Pizza.
