Hey everyone, THANK YOU. I'm going to note all suggestions (actually bookmark this thread). I'm also going to save MV as a separate trip.
I'm thinking about applying to graduate J-schools so I'll swing through Columbia CUNY and NYU.

Even getting to MV or Nantucket from the Cape is a haul these days.

For MV, I'll keep the travel info in mind. I think for that trip, I'd want to stay at least 2 weeks. Make it worth the trip across country.

Wow! Thanks for that list. I'm there often & lived there part time a few years ago and tried to take in everything, but several on the list are now new must-sees for me.

I found a couple of tours of locations of the Underground Railroad. I'm really excited about this!

Perhaps you will check out the African Burial Ground National Monument: http://www.nps.gov/afbg/index.htm

My best friend lives in Harlem so I go there frequently. I think people have covered a lot of what I was going to say. If you are a hoops fan you HAVE to go to Madison Square Garden. I second the recommendation for the Natural History Museum as well. There is such cool stuff in Central Park. Sorry if I repeated anything!
Some restaurants I recommend:
Amy Ruth's (Soul Food) Their chicken and waffles are everything (Harlem)
Dallas BBQ (Multiple Locations)
Gyu-Kaku (Japanese BBQ) You actually cook your own food at your table. My best friend worked there for awhile. So delish! (Multiple Locations)
Only negative thing I'll say is...Make sure you keep up with the news about bedbugs on certain trains if you use it for transportation!

When a dear friend of mine took her family to NYC she went through and color tabbed Gerry Frank's Where to Find it, Buy It, Eat It in New York. One of the best guide books for NYC.
http://www.newyorkcityguidebook.net/
And if in Mid-town, do NOT eat there. Better food, better pricing over on 9th Ave starting at about 42nd Street and North.

Thanks for the tip!
FYI my hotel is near the east river, a few blocks from CP, so I guess Lower ES?
