I know there are quite a handful of posts showing pictures from NYC but I thought I'd share my perspective on it. Who knows maybe there will be something new that you might see.

I went on this trip in May 2007 after I finished my exams. This was my first time going to NYC since age 12 or so. This was definitely an amazing and worthwhile trip which I hope to repeat again this coming summer.

There will be 3 different days posted to see where I went.

Enjoy!

May 2007

Day 1
- Long walk on 8th Ave and 42nd St. to 82nd St.
*Not knowing anything about the city, we arrived at the 42nd Street Bus Terminal and wanted to get to the Museum of Natural History. We had a small map which didn't have a scale and according to it, the museum didn't seem that far. Lets just say, 40 block is A LONG ways away.

- Museum of Natural History
*Amazing musuem. Reminded me of the Smithsonian in DC. The new planetarium was really extraordinary.

- Boat Cruise on the Hudson, around Battery Park, and up the East River, and under the Brooklyn, Manhattan and Williamsburg Bridges to the United Nations and back
*Pretty self explanitory. The skyline was beautiful at night, but due to the boat moving, I couldn't get any good shots.

Next day

By all means! No sane person could ever tire of NYC.
 
It's funny that you hear people complain of the "banal box" towers of Toronto, and yet the mighty NYC certainly isn't lacking in that department:

Other photos show plenty of blank glass facades. I don't find anything particularly ugly and there are impressive examples, but the interesting buildings are crowded by the more common looking buildings.
 
Manhattan-there is so much to see and do...

Smuncky: Good NYC pics-it looked like a great day to walk up 8th Avenue/Central Park West to the Museum of Natural History/Hayden Planetarium from Midtown. Was that a Circle Line cruise you took along with a Staten Island Ferry ride? Nice! LI MIKE

yup, it sure was. the cruise came with the city pass package (which is bargain when comparing it to the price you'd pay for each individual attraction). we chose the evening cruise to catch the city during the daytime and on the way back during the night. although it was very very chilly especially at night. but i braved the cold and ventured out on the open deck to take some pics.
