Aircraft Carrier Intrepid - The Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum it was docked near pier 83 when I took the boat tour around Manhattan many years ago. Didn't go on the aircraft carrier. The boat tour was great. Last time I looked the ticket price was very high.
Went into the Trump Tower many years ago and it was gaudy. Coffee shop in the basement had high prices even for NYC. The lobby had 3 plain cloths security men. All were about 6'11", 245 lbs. By law the public has access to the lobby.
Staten Island Ferry ride was cheap and had good views of the city.
Statue of Liberty , saw it in the 70's and the Island was very clean. Climbed to the top of the statue. Dad told me that coming home from Europe after WWII , all troops were on the deck. As soon as the Statue of Liberty came into view, thousands of men broke into tears and wept openly to include him.
