I have been to New York but never to any of the fabric related places. There is the garment district which I would definitely go to next time. Here's a link to Paula Nadelstern's list of places there. The Folk Art Museum, and the Art Quilt Gallery. I am sure there are lots more so maybe some of the NYC quilt members will pitch in here. Have a great time, it's an amazing City.

Hi Anne,
I'm an OLD New Yorker and I don't have anything quilt related for you but I DO have to mention one of the BEST kept secrets of our city. The Staten Island Ferry ! It's fantastic AND it's FREE !!!! You can ride back & forth as much as you want & the views are tremendous ! Have a wonderful time. Best regards, Nancy

Take the coolest clothing you can. New York in August can be oppressively hot.

Be sure to see a Broadway show. You can get deeply discounted last minute theatre tickets if you are open and flexible in which show you want to see. Dine at B. Smith's Restaurant, near the theatre district, after a matinee or before an evening show. Lunch at Carnegie Deli. Shop at MOOD Fabrics. There are lots of touristy things to do, so depending on your interest, you can't get bored. NYC is a 24 hour city, so rest up before you go.
I'm not a New Yorker, but have just visited there a lot. It's been more than a few years since I was there last. You can find all the info you need online before you leave home. There are websites for all of the places I suggested.
Travel safely and have a fantastic time.

What ever you do, make some time to visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art (http://www.metmuseum.org). You can't beat it for creative inspiration. My visits to NYC always include lots of time spent there. In addition to all the wonderful exhibits, the Costume Institute within the museum will be having a fascinating exhibit, not to be missed. Here's some information from their website:
The inaugural exhibition of the newly renovated Costume Institute will examine the career of the legendary twentieth-century Anglo-American couturier Charles James (1906–1978). Charles James: Beyond Fashion will explore James's design process, focusing on his use of sculptural, scientific, and mathematical approaches to construct revolutionary ball gowns and innovative tailoring that continue to influence designers today. Approximately seventy-five of James's most notable designs will be presented in two locations—the new Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Gallery in the Anna Wintour Costume Center as well as special exhibition galleries on the Museum's first floor.
The first-floor special exhibition galleries will spotlight the glamour and resplendent architecture of James's ball gowns from the 1940s through 1950s. The Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Gallery will provide the technology and flexibility to dramatize James's biography via archival pieces including sketches, pattern pieces, swatches, ephemera, and partially completed works from his last studio in New York City's Chelsea Hotel. The evolution and metamorphosis by James of specific designs over decades will also be shown. Video animations in both exhibition locations will illustrate how he created anatomically considered dresses that sculpted and reconfigured the female form.From the edge of Sherwood Forest, home of Robin Hood
