Things to do in NYC, winter/spring, teens birthday?

So for my "sweet sixteen" next January 2009, I want to spend the weekend in Manhattan with a few friends and my mom to take us around. The thing is, I don't really know of a lot of things to do in the city, especially in the dead of winter. We'll probably postpone it until the following March or so if the weather isnt great on my birthday weekend. But anyway, what are some fun things to do with like, four teenage girls in the city in the winter or spring?





only thing is:


·no day-trip things, like Statue of Liberty or Empire State Building


·if you can give me good museums, then great, just not


-MoMA


-Natural History


-Madam Tussauds





things that are intresting, fun, and not what everyone knows is in the city.





links and pictures are great too


thanks :)

NYC is great! You should really come and visit it. I suggest you to go to the Rockefeller Center. It is really cool and fun to be in there, you would enjoy the shops, ice skating rink, museums, and the city itself. I also would suggest you to visit Time Square and Broadway Theater. There are awesome areas and places in New York City. You will love it! Enjoy!
Reply:we went to NY for a week.


we had a blast!!!





you should visit Serendipity for dessert :)

there's a book called Lonely Planet (NYC)


it is a really really helpful book for tourists like us because it includes walking tours, etc, and places to eat.





there's also the famous BULL at the financial district :)


you should also try the yummiest Pizza Margherita at 'Lil Frankie in East Village ^,^

this serves as an exercise too.. hihihi


also, do visit Saint Patricks's Cathedral at 5th avenue.


don't miss to go inside.


it's wonderful!!!


we also went to Top of the Rock instead of the Empire State Building to avoid the long line hihihi because we were afraid we won't have enough time to see other parts of NYC :)





for shopping, you may want to visit Century 21, just across the former WTC.

To relax, try having a picnic at Central Park.
