What's this?

Rotating restaurant at Marriott Marquis in Times Square


Pretty cool -- and a decent option for drinks/dessert after the show.

I concur with the other poster about 30 Rock. And depending on the timing, you can access the top floor observation deck there without much of a wait.

We enjoyed just rambling around the Central Park West neighborhood. If the weather is conducive in any way, grab some items from a bodega and enjoy a picnic in the park itself.

If there is a way to arrange it in your schedule, find a way to head out to Queens or Brooklyn and come back into the city at or just after dusk. Very cool views.

Several very neat sites in Lower Manhattan if you're willing to commit the time and resources to travel down that far. Haven't visited the 9/11 memorial yet (pretty crowded when we visited), but it's interesting to just be on site and to note just how close the twin towers were to one another physically.

It really is a great city. Hope you have a wonderful trip!
