My mom (70 yo) is coming to visit next month and in the middle she's going to NYC for 3 or 4 days.
I want make for her some kind of trip thing, with maps, places to go, etc.
I never being there so I have not idea. I so want to go. Any ways. Can you recomend websites, books, places to go, must see places, were to eat?. I'm so nervous she would be alone. I wanted to get her as a present tickets for a Brodway show but she doesn't want to go. Her english is not that good (and again she would be alone in NYC for 4 days) but I think the show will be fantastic anyway. I have the address of the hotel but at home, I don't remember were it is. But suppost to be very well located, close to everything with subway and bus near by.
So what places should she go???
TIA

I've been to NYC many times and I think the best thing for someone new is a Greyline Bus Tour. It costs about $50 for a ticket and it's good for 48 hours. It is a double-decker bus that stops at ALL of the NYC tourist attractions and you can hop on/off at all of them. The guides are great, many are multi-lingual, and they are really helpful about suggesting places to eat, visit, etc. The whole tour is about 4 hours if you ride without getting off - but nobody stays on the whole time. The buses hit each spot about every 20 minutes so you never have to wait long for the next one.
