Vistors staying for a single day should try to visit Chinatown, the Statue of Liberty, Times Square, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.  Visitors staying for three days should add in the Empire State Building, Central Park, the Guggenheim Museum, and a walk through Greenwich Village/Soho.  If you’re staying for more than three days, plan a gentle itinerary for yourself, with no more than three sights per day: anything more grueling is likely to wipe you out!

Taking the ferry to the Statue of Liberty and Elllis Island is a great day trip. But the number one mistake tourists (and many locals) make is not giving themselves enough time. You really need to give yourself a few hours there. Go early in the day, that way you won't feel rushed.
