As I said before there is more to see on a New York City vacation then you will be able to fit in. As long as you hit all of the top sights, you will be happy with your New York City vacation. I remember the first time I saw the New York skyline it was like nothing I had ever seen before. Visiting Manhattan is very exciting for anyone that has never been to the city. Make sure to make the common tourist stop at the Empire State building. The view of the New York skyline from here is nothing short of spectacular. Check out this short video of what it looks like on top of the Empire State building.
