Prissy - your Friday plan seems quite ambitious. I%26#39;d cut it in half, remember you have to travel to all the locations and that takes time.

Perhaps you should concentrate on manhatten the first day and do Brooklyn Saturday or Sunday.

Do you have Yankee%26#39;s tickets? Yankee stadium is quite a distance from Broadway theaters.

Seems like you%26#39;ve researched your restaurants pretty well, check a map and see where some of the places you want to visit are - you%26#39;re bouncing all around town.

My first thoughts when I saw Friday was that it looked ambitious so I thought I%26#39;d try and estimate some times for you:

Get from lunch restaurant to ESB (difficult as I don%26#39;t know where you%26#39;re lunching) say 30mins

ESB - Ticket line, up, see sights and down again: 2 hours

Get to Ground Zero: 30mins

Ground Zero (+ St Paul%26#39;s?): 1 hour

Wall St: 1 hour

Subway to Brooklyn: 30 mins

Pizaa %26amp; Ice Cream: 1 hour

Walk over bridge: 45mins

Total time: 7hours 15mins

If you have an eary lunch it is do-able but you%26#39;ll be pretty tired!

Thats not bad, i plan on getting started around 11 am.

Is china town open saturdays???

I heard a lot of places are closed sundays, something about jewish people

Yes, Chinatown is closed every other Saturday! (Just kidding - it certainly is open and a major tourist destination as is the adjacent Little Italy.)

As for Sunday closings for ';Jewish people'; - the Sabbath begins at sundown on Fridays and continues to sundown on Saturday.

You%26#39;ll find that the Jewelry District and Jewish run retailers, B%26amp;H Photo for one, all close for the Sabbath.

Have you consulted a NYC guide book?

And regarding your itinerary - Nic was quite conservative about times for your plans, I would say you could not do everything and enjoy the experience unless you just want to %26#39;do%26#39; stuff to say you did.

Okay so i changed it around, i need help in finding whats next to what.

Prissy you really need to get a guide book/map, PLEASE. NYC is not a theme park where every attraction is adjacent to the next attraction.

Greys Papaya is a hot dog joint, limited menu, not someplace to sit and linger. FYI.

And Friday is still pretty ambitious, but do what you want and let us know how you did it.

Have fun.

Jewish people do not permit tourists to shop in Chinatown on Sundays.

Just wanted to say that most of the times quoted were actual times taken by my family of five in February. We certainly didn%26#39;t rush anything and couldn%26#39;t have enjoyed it more.

Point taken Nic! As for comparing times of year - February not as many tourists as September and demand for transportation is not as high. Amen, that%26#39;s it for me.
