Although the weather was mostly rainy, we had a very busy first day planned. After getting our rental we made our way into the city, the traffic was crazy! - I've been to NYC before and this was the first and last time we get a rental. I highly recommend walking and taking the train everywhere, parking is very expensive and you're better off walking most of the day (NYC walking is not for the faint of heart, be prepared to walk a lot if you've never been).
If you can, try to visit some of the museums and shows. We finally got around to visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art (MOMA). The museum price is $25 per ticket and it has 6 floors of beautiful art and sculptures. It's recommended to spend about 3 hours to see the entire museum, but it can be done in about 2 hours. You can also start on the floor that displays the art you want to see (for example, the 5th floor has art by Van Gogh, Chagall, Monet).
