Everyone has to experience midtown at least once in their lives. It is really amazing. I work there, and to me, it is still a fascinating place-so much to see and do. There is one thing that is all too common though: tourists eating at the chain restaurants! They are ridiculously overpriced and besides, you can eat at Applebees or Olive Garden at home. NYC has some of the best food on earth. Go off on some of the side streets and hit a local pizza place or an ethnic cuisine place. Better food, better prices, and you get a more authentic NYC experience.
