New York City is not lacking in things to do. Visitors with only 4 days' time should pull on their most comfortable shoes and be prepared to be on the move.
Sights
There are some things that must be seen. The Statue of Liberty, the Flatiron, Chrysler and Empire State Buildings, the Brooklyn Bridge, Grand Central Terminal and Ground Zero of the World Trade Center.
Entertainment
New York City boasts world-class entertainment. Visitors should plan on seeing a Broadway play or musical in Times Square, hearing the New York Philharmonic in Lincoln Center and seeing an Alvin Ailey dance concert.
New York Yankees
Take the 4 train to the Bronx and see the New York Yankees, the evil empire of baseball, play a game at their new stadium.
Lombardi's Pizza
Whatever the time frame is, don't leave the city without stopping off at Lombardi's for the best pizza in Manhattan. Lombardi's Pizza is located on Spring Street and has been in operation since 1905.
Neighborhoods
The city has many historic neighborhoods that also have great places to eat and items to buy. Harlem, Chinatown, Little Italy and, in Queens, Astoria are all worth a visit.
Central Park
The major green space in the city is Central Park. Regardless of the time of year, a visit here is a must and a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of the streets.
