Uggs / Jack Wills / Abercrombie / Hollister / Barbour should cover most of what you need.................. :-(

For some excellent food, visit Anthony Bourdains restaurant,

If the weather is good, take a stroll along the Highline, at the Meat Packing District. 

Really nice view over the area and the Hudson river.

Yup - just drop them off at Jack Wills on the Friday and collect them on the Monday just before you leave. They'll be in pink and blue striped heaven and all their friends will 'Like This' on Facebook, which is all a teenager can ask for.  Oh, and don't forget their phone chargers - they'll be texting constantly too.

Ditto - was there last September (granted it was a balmy evening), and the view and the ambience were sublime. A chill out zone away from the freneticism of the streets. Would look amazing with snow.

Also try the Frick Gallery and the Cooper Museum - google them - they're near Central Park, not far from the Guggenheim.

If you're into architecture, Mies Van der Rohe's Seagram Building is a must.

Other than that, just walk...I never did find a B & O store however. And I was there for a week...!

My top Architecture tip of NYC is the Citigroup Building. Hard to beat.

Hi lee

hope you have a great time in new york, wife and i did it two years ago

whenever we go to a strange city  we always take a sightseeing bus, the advantage of this is you have a brief glimpse of all the major sites so you can then select the ones you would like to see in detail.

shopping  bloomingdales , tiffanys look only lol  grand central station brings back memories of seeing in many films also it is very clean and some good food shops in the station, times square the girls will like hersheys chocolate shop and the mmm sweet shop nearby you might have a sweet tooth also lol. central park with john lennons strawbery fields  memorial, empire state builfing great views, we also did the helicopter flight over the city which is great. A show on broadway if you have time we saw mama mia, the madiston square gardens all the boxing events there

If you need any computer software or new ipad far cheaper than uk

EG us price £379 Uk price £525 on todays exchange rate for 32gb model

have a great time

I loved the Metropolitan Museum - I spent 2 days mainly in there! Also MoMA just to check what B&O is on display! I went up the Statue of Liberty - view pretty average but certainly worth the trip to see inside the structure. My wife lived in New York for a year - her favourite place was Windows On The World - which obviously is no longer there. I would probably visit the site just to remember.

Friends of mine are visiting at the moment - they were pleading poverty when last seen but are staying at the Waldorf Astoria!
