New York, New York

OK. I need some help. Joe and I are thinking about taking a trip to the big NYC and I am trying to come up with places and things to see and do. Anyone have any suggestion? Things we should really look into, things we should really avoid. I could use some help. Joe has friends that live out there, but, please don't get me wrong, they are mostly men. So we would probably be up for most things, however, Joe is kind of a stick in the mud when it comes to food. He doesn't branch out much, sticks primarily to Mexican or Italian or good old America cuisine. So please, send me some ideas. :)
