Dont forget to take your passport to Macy's customer service, if you go, and you'll get 10% off or it might be the VAT off cant be sure now.

I lived in NYC with work for over a year and the choice of shopping and eating is endless...   :party:

I'd agree on Smith & Wollensky's - great steak but definitely not cheap.  For a really good American diner breakfast that's pretty central there's a great diner under the overpass (outside Grand Central Station on 42nd street) - called Pershing Cafe.  Awesome for breakfast!

You'll have a blast! Be prepared for lots of walking!  :happy2:

Grimaldis Pizza Under the Brooklyn Bridge, get there early and be prepared to queue, but worth the wait...

I was there for my 40th in November and there are 2 places that spring to mind especially.

Firstly is BuddaKan, its a kind of modern swanky oriental almost fusion place, the food was very good and it wasnt that expensive for what we had http://www.buddakannyc.com/

The second place is 'the counter',  a burger chain with a restaurant just off broadway, and its awesome, have a look at the menu and you will see the way to order and what you get http://www.thecounterburger.com/menu/ the apple pie milkshake is pretty good too.

I never went personally, this time, but the River Cafe under the Brooklyn Bridge is meant to be good, $100 fixed menu option gets highly recommended.

+1 on river cafe, awesome views and food! If you like great (and reasonably priced burgers) head to Shake Shack in Madison square park - make sure weather is good as its outside eating only and avoid the lunchtime rush as queues are often around the block!

Also if you like traditional BBQ food try Blue Smoke on 27th between Park & Lex - it's amazing! Enjoy!

Word of advice. What ever you buy go over the road to the post office and post the packaging back home.

It was one of the guys from B&H who gave me the advice. The post office is about a 5 minute walk from the store and is open 7 days a week. You CAN NOT miss it, trust me!

A big thanks to everyone for the advise and recommendations, the depth of knowledge on this forum never fails to impress me.

Great tip on posting empty packaging back home - I'm thinking of buying a couple of expensive electrical items including the latest iPad.
