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.

Where are you from? You're going to need to dress warmly in March because it'll be windy. Bring a thick/down jacket. Um, visit the NYPL/Bryant Park, definitely Central Park, hit up at least one museum (the Museum of Modern Art is free if you're 16 or under), and maybe to go Serendipity (famous frozen hot chocolate).

Eh, Serendipity. In my opinion, it's really too much of a tourist spot and the line is much too long to be worth a frozen hot chocolate. You'd have a much better time at Max Brenner's down in Union Square, and the chocolate there is absolutely incredible.

There's this plain-looking Japanese restaurant called Sapporo on W 49th, between 6th and 7th avenue, that has amazing food for really low prices. Its one of NYC's little secrets.
