I am originally from NY. Which Sheraton are you staying at, there are two in that area, one is being worked on but still open? I would reccomend Ray's Pizza, they are all over and very good. Vineors has some of the best Cannoli you will find. You should see the Empire State Buildling, and take the Staten Island Ferry to get a great view of the Statue of Liberty without having to deal with the tour, and it's free. The Rockefeller Center has an observatory now that would be fun to do. Go to Central Park and see the park, it is beautiful. Littly Italy has some great food if you like Italian. Def, take the subway a few times, fun way to get around and quicker than cabs most of the time. Another reccomendation I will make that you not be unhappy I guarentee is if you go to 53th St. I believe it is, near the Hilton Hotel, there is a Halal stand with some of the best food you will ever eat. Lamb, chicken, rice, salad with a sauce. It is the best, there are two on each side of the hotel, this one will be open later at night and have the long lines. Have fun, it is a great place to see. If you see the big red double decker busses, they offer great tours of all of the city.
