It may inspire many readers to make their own top 10 list about New York, or their own cities, i will pen down my top 10 attractions...
(1) Statue of Liberty – most touristy place for out-of-town tourists; a lot of New Yorkers have never visited.
(2) Time Square – crowded, not very far from the MS New York office; there is a place to buy half-priced ticket for Broadway shows for the same night.
(3) The Metropolitan Museum of Art – one of top art museums of the world; takes more than one day to finish; a stroll in the Central Park afterwards is highly recommended.
(4) Rockefeller Center – largest Christmas tree in the world (so claimed); NBC TV studio and store are there.
(5) Chinatown – very crowded, good Cantonese or Sichuan restaurants; next to Little Italy with good Italian food.
(6) The New York Stock Exchange – the center of Capitalism. Wall Street and Ground Zero are nearby too.
(7) The Empire State Building – tallest building after 9/11 with observation deck on top.
(8) Brooklyn Bridge – You can walk on the bridge and have a good view of the East River. The bridge was the tallest structure in the world when it was built late 19 century.
(9) Big Apple Bus Tour – a city-wide bus tour you can hop on and off at many points; good and quick way to see different parts of the city.
(10) Fifth Avenue – Christmas shopping (or just window shopping) for fashion; downtown West Broadway has more upscale fashion boutiques (places where you can shop for your wife but things can be a bit expensive that you will be secretly happy that she does not come along).
I think you should at least go to one good restaurant for Western cuisine and a French bakery for pastry. There are too many good choices to list.
