Hi, I'm going to New York in May with my family and just wanted some pointers. 1) I'm a big fan of comic books and a bigger fan of movies, are there any cool activities or locations to visit based around these interests? 2) My mum is really hyped to go to Little Italy, any recommendations from that area? 3) What's Coney Island like? Anything to look out for if we head that way? 4) We're planning on taking a helicopter ride, anyone have any experience with these? So far we've decided to play it pretty fast and loose with only a couple of things that we feel we absolutely have to do. We're going to the Empire State Building and The American Museum of Natural History but other than that we just plan to go wherever the day takes us. Is this a good way to approach things? Cheers for the information already provided, I'm going to make a list of some of the places mentioned. New York, I can't wait to be in you.

I just got back yesterday and I had an absolutely amazing time. All the touristy destinations are super and if you're visiting New York for the first time you should definitely do a bunch of that stuff but please just walk around the place and find your own awesome time. As cool as The Empire State was it was infinitely cooler to wander down a street and find a festival or go to a bar and get chatting to a local. I wish I got more of a chance to head out to the boroughs but the people I went with weren't cut out for it. It's going to happen next time I go. I'm already saving in my head for the next trip. Highlights for me included the walk back over the Brooklyn Bridge, the Cornerstone Cafe, Top of the Rock, wandering through Central Park on a wonderfully sunny day and just meandering about in general. What an incredible place. I wish I lived there.
