At the Empire State Building, be sure to rent the audio tour. It's SO
worth it, imho! While you're on 34th street be sure to stop and kiss!
"Miracles on 34th Street" don't happen often enough.

The fastest way to get around NYC is the subway system. An unlimited one
day pass is $4 per person, good for subway trains. Best familiarize
yourself with the routes.

From the Empire state building, take the #1 subway train south (at
Madison Square Garden's underground) to Chambers St and walk a couple
blocks south to the World Trade Center. Stop in at St. Paul's Cathedral
(where George Washington went to pray after he was sworn in as our first
President). Then walk south a few blocks to Wall Street/NY Stock Exchange
then and take the #5 express subway up to 86th st. and walk to the
Guggenheim Museum (89th and 5th Ave.) for an exhibit. I'd recommend
taking the elevator to the top and then walk down the exhibit. Your feet
will thank you. Then bus or walk down to 66st or there abouts and walk
through Central Park (to leave the city for awhile) then walk over to
Lincoln Center and have cocktails at the fountain surrounded by one of
the greatest music centers in the world. Then take the 1, 2 or 3 subway
south to Times Square and do your broadway show.

Or not.
