If you like hot dogs, check out Gray_s Papaya. (DO not be fooled by imposters like Papaya Dog or Mike_s Papaya). You can get a smoothie and 2 dogs for under $3 at Grays. And they_re the best hot dogs in the world!
Have a great trip!
Was there 2 days ago and it_s the most fun I had in the Big Apple.
Lots of places to eat real good foods, but NEVER eat in Time Square. It_s over priced and too commercial. We found lots of good restos in the 44th st _ 9th ave area. Try Chimpotle for example.
The Ferry ride from New york to Staten Island is free and you get to see the statue of liberty.
Take the subway, no taxi because you will just pay to sit in traffic.
Visit Central Park
Have fun!

Now, two thing to mention, if you_re in town between now and October 15, there is a nice exibit along the East River call _Waterfall,_ which are a series of scaffolding structure place at several location along the East River and their emitating a waterfall.
Also, since you_re in town for 10 days, and you going to be using public transit offend, may suggest purchase a 7-day unlimited ride MetroCard for $25. With this card you can get unlimted ride on the subway and bus as many times as you can for 7-day. For the remain 3 days, you can buy a 1-day pass for $7.50 each and works the same ways as the 7-day pass, but its only good for one day.
I hope this information is very helpful. If you have any questions or need travel directions while in town, just drop me a line by clicking on the avatar and e-mail icon in the profile.
Good luck and enjoy you trip.
