There is so much one can do and Manhattan is big; it depends what you like;
In the list below,
– buddha bar is a great spot;
– pastis; classic french restaurant; for connoisseurs, a Woody Allen was shot there;
cheap accommodation; I have been searching that since 1985. Please let me know if you see one, lol; ok more seriously YMCA; cheaper can be found also; around Time Square or in the boroughs.
secrets; just walk all over the place; I assume you are a male (?) single(?); spot Japanese female tourists (in pair) and be their friends; make friends with other tourists right away; :inlove:
