If you're into the art museum thing, the Met and MOMA are two of the finest art museums on the planet. I think the MET, especially is amazing--tons of classic things, and not just paintings--amazing historical things. They've got an entire Egyptian temple set up there. But Natural History is amazing as well, and may be enough on the museum tip, if that's not your main thing.

Again, depending on the weather, seeing some of Central Park is worthwhile. Macy's on 34th street between 6th and 7th is great--huge old building, great shopping. Finally, Grand Central Station is an amazing thing to see--42nd and Park. Plus, there's good shopping there.

You won't have any trouble finding things to do. Just walking around is pretty amazing--the size of the place is pretty overwhelming. And the subways are worth riding--an interesting expereince, no doubt.

Have a good time!

Thanks, yeah the Met is definitely cool, I've been there a few times. I don't know how into the whole museum deal her brother is going to be though... FYI, I'll be in Houston in a few weeks (christmas week) so I'll be sight seeing down there too...
