Going to New York, what to see?

I dunno, pretty much everyone I know who's been to New York says that two weeks wasn't long enough. I guess it's a more interesting place if you're not American, in the same way that I can't think why anyone would ever bother coming over to visit London for a weekend, let alone longer. I mean, you don't have to fill your days on holiday completely with doing stuff. If you do a couple of things a day that's what, ten or so attractions in a week? Then you've got a day for shopping and a bit of time to just chill out and wander around. If you can't think of ten interesting things to do in New York then it's not much of a city frankly. I could think of ten interesting things to do in Brighton and it's no more than a glorified town (Although eight of those would probably involve getting drunk).

I've never even been to America but I would have thought that a trip to the statue of liberty, visiting the big hole in the ground where the WTC used to be, catching a Broadway show, watching some baseball or American football, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim, Central Park Zoo, going up the Empire State Building, taking a helicopter tour and a bit of shopping would be more than enough to fill a week and that's just all the obvious touristy stuff without taking into account going out for dinner and a few nights getting pissed up.

How ya doing, buddy?

I was going to make a comment about saxophones but I think that one's been done to death.
