it can be anything from the local bum u see everyday to a kid smaking his mother and then telling her to shut up or just those pompous ass people who walk with their noses in the air.

You mean on the subway? I remember feeling like I was going to get jumped for my backpack.

NYC itinerary and the subway advice?

Is there a way to coordinate my trip with the subway? I am planning on getting all day passes for 4 adults and 3 children. I don't know the routes what so ever other than they are everywhere. Right now I am mapping it on google maps on walking mode, wish there was a subway mode. It keeps freezing after my 8th stop though, lol.

My tentative itinerary is:
breakfast in car en-route...
get to nyc 7am get situated and parked
8am-10am: science and space museum
10am-12:30central park zoo lunch at conclusion
12:45-2fao schwarz toy store
2:30-3world trade center memorial
3:15-4Teardrop park in battery park
4:15-5:30 walk the highline from gansevoort st to the 22nd
5:30-6:30 Catch dinner
6:30- go to time square Then from there a lot of window shopping with toys r us, disney store, and other kid friendly places
I was thinking of ending the night with a horse drawn carriage ride through central park up to harlem where I planned on parking my car. price depending, otherwise we would take the subway back to the car.
9-10pm in car and getting back home ugh, 3hr car ride...

Not sure when and where would be dinner. I was thinking of asking my parents who are coming with us if they could allow me to take an excursion from 7:30 on to have a bite at Joe's Shanghai and then check out 2 aquarium stores in chinatown and purchase some rare fishys. This has to be at the conclusion of the trip, stores I believe close at 9 and I can't have fish jostling around in my backpack through out the city, so yes, at the conclusion. I guestimated traveling time but its a flexible schedule. Thanx for any advice!
The only walking will be from car to space museum which I am trying to park close, then a 1.3 mile walk across central park to the zoo, FAO is a .3mi walk from the zoo. Then take a train from there to the world trade center. Then its a .6mi walk to tear drop park. Tricky part might be getting a sub from there to gansevoort st. Then the high rise is a 1mi walk. Where ever dinner is, then take a sub from 30th st to time square. Up until that point we would of walked less than 3 and a half miles with plenty of breaks, I don't think that's so bad. Then from there the window shopping might take more walking but we'd spend plenty of time in the stores. My mother used to take this trip with me when I was a kid and we never used the subway. So this is quite a light stroll in comparison.

I was planning on going to the natural history museum but I cut it out of my trip before posting this. If the zoo is so unremarkable maybe I will spend more time at the space museum.
