Advice from my first American friend

Get a map of the subway - figure out where you want to go, then GO! It's amazing when you get up to the street,
I'll be so jealous!! Go to China Town or NYU or Wall St., or WTC or Times Square or go to Penn Station & walk to the Empire State Bld.
I stayed on the Southgate Tower, across from Madison Square Garden, which sits ON TOP of Penn Station, the hotel is on the
corner of 7th & 33. So many places - nope, you won't be bored!
