What would you visit in New York?

I'd make a point of visiting Leisurepro, they have some good deals at good prices.

Buy scuba gear, scuba diving and snorkeling equipment, and everything underwater from LeisurePro.com

I picked up a Scout Dive Tracker, very handy piece of kit.

There are a few of them about and definately the best ice cream i have ever tasted!!!

I think this has been moved/closed for re-furbishment of the pier it was docked against. Not sure if it's back/open yet.

EDIT: Confirmed, it's open again in November check here for details

Ditto everything already said about the Empire State. It is amazing at night.

If you want something free to do, take the ferry to Staten Island and back again. You get nice views of the Statue of Liberty and downtown Manhattan. No tickets required.

How do you go about sorting out the helicopter flight. That sounds fantastic!! How long do you get in the air?

Liberty Helicopters ar ethe outfit we used. Google them or there's a link on one of the other threads I mentioned.

You pay more- you get longer.

Try and get a sunset flight- you take off in daylight then land at night. It's brilliant.

Be warned they ask you how much you weigh and make you wear a slightly stupid lifejacket. Worth every minute, though. Was ace.
