Also there is Still a great deal of Performing Arts to be devoured. Even if you are not into Opera, I suggest checking out NYC Opera or The Met, they are once-in-a-lifetime experiences if you are from out of town.

Have a great trip

Without A Trace went with me, and we had a BLAST that day. The museums at both places are a lot more extensive and impressive than I imagined, and the cost for this inspirational day of history and enlightenment is pretty damn cheap.
If the weather is permitting, I think you'd enjoy the boat ride there and back, plus the trip "back in time" as well.
And if go, get down there early and you can avoid the crowds!
Check it out!

You won't regret it. We had a terrific day.
We also went down to the South Street Seaport and did the "historical" stuff down there on another day. I'd been before, but not to the museums (both shipboard and the surrounding area). We also walked all around Wall Street, and headed across the Brooklyn Bridge on foot.
There is a lot of history in NY. Still "touristy" things on my list I want to explore:
The Woodlawn Cemetery (one of the oldest landscaped cemeteries in the U.S.). Some of the people buried there: Irving Berlin, Irene & Vernon Castle, George M. Cohan, Celia Cruz, Miles Davis, Clarence Derwent, Duke Ellington, Geraldine Fitzgerald, Archibald Gracie, Oscar Hammerstein, Lionel Hampton, W.C. Handy, Sam Harris, Coleman Hawkins, Mrs. William Randolph Hearst, Victor Herbert, Augustus Juilliard, Fiorello LaGuardia, Canada Lee, Joseph Leyendecker, Rowland H. Macy, Johnny Marks, Bat Masterson, Marilyn Miller, Robert Moses, Harold Nicholas, Chauncey Olcott, Antoinette Perry, Otto Preminger, Joseph Pulitzer, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Isador & Ida Straus, Laurette Taylor, Henry Westinghouse, Bert Williams, Henry Gaylord Wilshire, and Frank W. Woolworth... JUST to name a few!

They will have to wait for another trip!

And I have lunch there each time. It's hard to believe but the food at their outdoor stand ranks with good restaurants.
