I strongly suggest that those heading to New York visit the great musems, architecture (Saint Patrick's Cathedral), and restaurants. You have the American Museum of Natural History, which includes an excellent Planetarium and just on the other side of Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Guggenheim. There are excellent Chinese and Indian restaurants in Lower Manhattan.
Don't forget about Brooklyn in all this Manhattan praise :-). Consider the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. It's too late for cherries but the rose collections will be great. And the best pizza in New York (if you can get in) is at http://menupages.com/restaurantdetails.asp?areaid=0&restaurantid=31402&neighborhoodid=114&cuisineid=0
