Making the most of a single day in New York City will require a few things. First, be ready for an action filled day and wear good walking shoes. You'll be venturing all over the island of Manhattan, and the best way to do that is with a MetroCard. For this itinerary, you'll want to pick up a 1-Day Fun Pass which entitles you to unlimited use of the New York City's subways and buses for one day. I'd also recommend you pick up a New York City street map -- it just makes getting around a little easier.
