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.

Serendipity and Magnolia Bakery are awful tourist traps. To be fair, I've never been there. But for their prices and their hype, I think it's ridiculous that half the time, they are sub-par rated.

Money-wise... NYC gets a lot of hype for being an expensive city but I've survived a fun day out with only a few bucks in my pocket. Depending on what you do, you can spend anywhere from 10 to hundreds of dollars.

Food wise:
-Chinatown
-Ktown near Herald Square after some shopping. There's some Korean BBQ places that are good for group dinners.
-Ktown also as KTV places that are fun with a group of friends.
-I agree with Union Square!
-Shake Shack at Madison Square Park
-Say Chesse! near Time Square. I can't remember the address as of right now.
-Central Park. Their ice skating rink is actually decently priced for the location and the city. It's really fun to skate with such beautiful scenery. It should still be open then.

Shopping:
-Herald Square
-Union Square
-Soho
-5th Ave (if you really want to break the wallet)

I can't remember more right now. But you're going to love it here!
