Did you hit the thrift stores?

Didn't do Lombardi's as was recommended this place - https://m.yelp.co.uk/biz/prince-street-pizza-new-york-2 on Prince between Mott & Lafayette IIRC. Well worth a visit.
I did a fair amount of stuff - Planned out my days roughly without being overplanned/strict and it worked incredibly well.
Top of the Rock is the best views of the city, we went during our last day when It was scorching and it was amazing. A sunset view of the city between 7.30-8.30 would be perfect I reckon.
Food wise, I had a heap of good food - a lot of it is on my Instagram - KevMcAlley. Chelsea Market got visited 3 times (stayed 10 mins from it) and it could easily have been more, brilliant market/food haven.
Other highlights I'd say central park, Williamsburg(spent a day there walking around and exploring the district, very cool although a bit hipster)& did the same with Brooklyn including walking there and back over the bridge.
I have a Google map of spots to check out if you'd like it PM me.
Citymapper is the best app for getting about - Incredibly helpful as it tells you which subway to take to your destination from your location and at what times they come and how long it'll take - helped me a good few times although you get to know the main stations/trains etc.

Poor choice initially. I had the pastrami too but it was absolutely stuffed with fat so swapped for my mrs' roast beef which was better, still not $45 for the pair of us good though.
To be fair though that was lunch after the helicopter tour, which was after I'd realised that someone had bought £540 worth of American Airline tickets a day before we came away on my card so I was pretty pissed off by that point. STK was decent that night though for a chain which rescued the day a bit.

Had a great time in NYC - think I managed to put on a few pounds despite walking an average of 21km per day! Banh Mi was a great spot around Canal St for amazing, cheap Vietnamese sandwiches and iced coffee. Balthazar was predictably excellent and I enjoyed Katz. Prince St was great for Pizza, and near a lot of decent clothes stores too.
As someone said earlier - Strand Books is a great place to waste a few hours, amazing selection of fashion/photography/architecture for good prices - just across from Flight Club, too.

My pastrami wasn't full of fat but it has fat through it - that's pastrami though. Your slicer would've given you leaner cuts of it had you asked. EDIT - the sandwiches are so big we split ours and then had a small snack later - $22 for lunch isn't too bad.
I went to Lombardi's and it was good, but not amazing. Juliana's tasted better by a long way in comparison. Roberta's from Mad Sq Eats was also great, although i wish i had travelled to Bushwhack and experienced the 'real' one.
I felt a bit let-down clothing wise. Not sure if it's my preference of labels and style but the brands like EG & Gitman i expected to see were hardly seen and the EG i did see was the 'dressy stuff' rather than the fatigues and work jackets etc. RL was good, $55 a polo can't be grumbled at.

^Lombardi's corner of Lafayette and Prince? Not such an obvious spot to go these days what with Supreme going worldwide but that place is great.
