Going to New York, what to see?

I live in NY. Tell me what you like and I'll tell you where to go.

My personal opinion though, is that you shouldn't be so worried about where to go or what to do. I've found I have the most fun just picking a direction and walking in it randomly. For you, it'd probably be a little harder to get home, but its amazing how many small niche shops you'll find just exploring, and they're much more fun than the big names. I personally have never been to many of the real tourist places here despite living here so I don't know much about that.

Some great neighborhoods you should visit, for tourist-y feel are definitely Chinatown, SoHo, and Times Square. Hell, even Union Square has a lot of culture that you might enjoy. There's a little neighborhood full of Japanese bookstores and restaurants too. Like I said, its easier if I know more about what you like to do.

Good luck getting in without an ID. Also campuses don't exist in NYC schools. They're just buildings that may or may not be even in the general vicinity of each other.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

If you're coming this summer, good luck. The sun doesn't really like us these days. And its rainy at least 3 days out of every week.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
