So, I am headed to NY for the first time ever. I have a couple of free days to spend and I will be with my wife. I have been looking for shows or places to hit up for a drink. But haven't found much. I am staying at the sheraton on 7th and 52ish? from the 11th-14th. Any suggestions or hints from locals would be great!

fill your pockets with money and just start walking, something will happen.

Why does that sound like a bad idea? I mean events that won't envolve me getting mugged or not having fun.

bring a flash light, a switchblade, MACE, quarters, drugs, candy, stickers, bandaids, guns, hard-hat.

Eat a meal by walking corner cart to corner cart. You may want to bring some gas-x or other laxitive, but it'll be damn worth it and it won't cost much.
You'll sample everything from hot dogs to sausages, pretzels to knishes. Best way to taste NYC, other than licking the sidewalk. I'd advise against the second.

I'd bail on the shows, unless your wife is unhappy...

Just in time. The trash smell is lovely this time of year.

Ride the subway to Coney Island at 2AM. Get out there and just walk around.

Skip the circle line crap. Just take the Staten Island Ferry out and back. It's free, you get to see the Statue of Liberty and the skyline of Manahttan from the south (Best view IMHO). Whatever you do don't get off in Staten Island of course, just stay on the boat and come back.

Take the NBC Studio Tour....if they still have it. Pretty cool time.
Times Square (obviously)
Top of the Empire State Building (at night)
AVOID the deli's.....its good stuff but they give you enough food for 6 weeks and charge you accordingly. You will get 2 sandwiches and it will cost you $35 or $45 bucks.
Eat some NYC cheesecake.
Eat some NYC pizza.
Avoid chain restaurants or anything else that you have been to before or have back home.
