I did this once with friends. My advise is to pick the places you want to go and then choose the hotel in that area because traffic in town is horrible. There are nice hotels in all areas of NYC. I like noi due and tiberius (milchigs) to eat out. Fun places depend on what you want to do. Boating is out this time of year but there’s ice skating at Rockefeller center. We did lip lab where you can make your own lipstick! Ripleys, Madame toussouds, museum of natural history. Lots of comedy clubs and broadway show if that’s your thing. If you tell us what interests you o can be more specific. I was recently in NYC with DH and we had an awesome time just walking around time square sipping coffee.

Mike's Bistro is amazing.

VR
Escape room
Spyscape
Guided tour scavenger hunt such as Operation City Quest
The Vessel and High Line
Dave and Buster's if you like arcades
Gulliver's Gate/ Madame Tussaud's/National Geographic Encounter Ocean Odyssey/Ripley's Believe It or Not- all in same area
Broadway or Off Broadway show
Ice skating at Rockefeller Center or Bryant Park
If you're a child at heart, try Sloo Moo pop-up slime museum

When are you planning to go? Check this out:

I was looking at hotels near times Square or around that area. But so far I'm not finding anything in the price range that I want to spend and it should be a decent nice hotel. I am kinda disappointed.

Nice and affordable is an oxymoron in NYC. I recently stayed at Hotel Pennsylvania near Herald Square and I was quite satisfied and price was great. Not luxurious, but comfortable and clean.

My family did this once. But they stayed at home and just drove into Manhattan each day. They bought the tourist book, and did all the stuff like they were tourists in the city. They wore I love New York t-shirts and caps and rode the double decker buses. Etc

Lol. I guess that's what happens when I do voice text and then get busy and forget to edit it!
