touring nyc with teenagers

Myself and a couple girlfriends are planning a 4 day trip to NYC with a bunch of high school seniors this spring. Other than the typical attractions, does anyone have any advice on *must see* stuff for this age group. restaurants, tours, etc, This is for both boys and girls. We plan on a Yankees game, the hop on hop off bus tours etc. Any cool things to do would be appreciated. We will be staying at the new Courtyard on E 92nd. Thanks

I just want to say congrats to you and your friends for taking the seniors on this trip. My girlfriend and I took our daughters during their senior year vacation and we had a great time. Too many parents let their kids go off on these insane spring breaks with no chaperones...but that is my soapbox and I%26#39;ll end it there. :) Planning a trip with teens is a bit different and I understand your wanting to make it special for them. Some suggestions I can give from what my kids enjoyed are: NBC Studio tour, chinatown, maybe some time at the MET and Central Park, walking up 5th Ave. and Trump Tower for those who watch ';The Apprentice';, Ellen%26#39;s Stardust diner has singing waiters.....walking thru SoHo (you could hop off there for a few hours on your bus tour). Make sure to spend an evening in Times Square with all the lights. Girls would enjoy Sephora, guys ESPN Zone, lots of souvenier shops for inexpensive gifts, MTV is there. Maybe you could try to get them tickets to be on the MTV Show, ';TRL';. Take the Staten Island ferry, which is free, past the Statue of Liberty for a better view and avoid the long lines to go directly to the island. There is so much to do, and I am sure they will love it.
