You can spend days doing so many fun things and seeing cool places. Here's a few I like in Manhattan: Levain's Bakery - Unbelievable cookies. Fraunces Tavern - oldest building in Manhattan; place where George Washington met with his officers. Order cheese/meat board. If you like all things chocolate - including your meal - go to Max Brenner. Favorites are Trinity Church, Wall Street, Old Battery Park, 9/11 museum, Times Square, and Radio City Hall.
