Haha, you're seriously having the guy give you the skateboards? Way to go. Oh yeah.

If you're going to New York, you could spend the whole time at Art Museums/Galleries. I don't know much about NY as I don't live there, but I did go over spring break this year.
-Whitney
-MoMa
-Brooklyn Museum of Art
-PS1 and the crazy graffiti building across from it
-New Museum

Lots of galleries have sucky art. Do your research, but these are good ones:
-Jonothan LeVine Gallery (obviously)
-Deitch Projects

New York!

Museums and check the pages for free stuff to do. Pages being Time Out NY, the parks pages, village voice, and L Magazine. A lot of weird and wild happenings over the summer.

You should stop a couple of bandits from robbing the childrens' toy store by leading them into your house of intricate booby traps.

if you want some good calamari.. go to CARMINES. it's near times square

You haven't lived until you've tried a Shake Shack burger.

I'd say try Carmines if you have enough people to share Italian "family" style. Just one person can't eat there, I'd recommend at least 4 people. But the BEST appetizer is the fried mozzerella!

If you're in Times Square and want chinese food I'd reccomend Ollie's. It's supposed to be famous or something. But unless stuff has changed they make delicious eggrolls as big around as a fist and about as long as my forearm.. just one was enough of a meal! My boyfriend & I would stop in to get them before hitting up a movie.

And if you want some local gems and are willing to cross the queensboro bridge over into Sunnyside there are two amazing places that I love (I used to live there) and they have websites now which is cool cause it's easier to link than to try to explain how to find them. :)

www.marabellapizza.com
They have great true NYC style pizza although the Chicken Roll calzone is my #1 choice!

http://www.newyorkstyleeats.com/
Also super delicious. My favorite is the Chicken Cordon Bleu Wrap... mmm so good! :D
