Going to NYC, new to the city Options

[freeridefight]

I'm going to NYC March 10-17 for a Model UN convention and I have no idea what to do. How much money to bring for a week, where to eat, where to shop, what to wear, little tips and tricks, hot parts of thw town, what to do. I'm staying in the hilton hotel, and wanna have a great time. You New Yorkers, tell me some things.

5th Ave, Columbus Circle, Soho, etc are great places to shop.
Some great hookah bars in East Village if you're into that (Hade Bade doesn't card).
Check out Chinatown (dim sum, knockoffs, etc), Little Italy (great food), Flushing has great korean food, etc.
The Cloisters!! I'm not sure if it's too cold to go to, but the Cloisters is beautifullll.
There are lots of museums too, like the Museum of Sex, Moma, Guggenheim, Met, etc.
South St. Seaport's great for tourists - there's a Body's Exhibit that I think is better than any of the other Body Worlds.
If you like midtown, Madame Toussand's (sp) is fun to visit.
By Penn Station (34th & Broadway) is a big cluster of shops: Macy's, H&M, etc.
Then there's always Broadway!!

have fun :)
