Itinerary for review

Ok here goes nothing. I have on these boards for months and here is the itinerary I have put together. We leave Saturday and I couldn%26#39;t be more excited. I%26#39;m travelling with my in-laws, husband and 1 year old son. We are staying at the Shelburne Murray Hill. Please let me know your suggestions:





Saturday - Arrival in evening. Visit Top of the Rock at Sunset to get our bearings.





Sunday - Church at St. John the Divine then a quick subway ride to Yankee Stadium for the game.





Monday - Booked tickets through Statuecruises for the 9:00 ferry to Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Get back to Manhattan in time for late lunch. Then explore the Freedom Tower site/ Wall Street/ Tenement Museum/ TriBeCa/ Chinatown. Dinner is reserved for all 7 of us at Carmines. I realize this is a full day, we may move some of the afternoon sights to another day.





Tuesday - Brunch at Thalia. Then tour midtown including Grand Central Terminal/ Chrysler Building/ UN/ St Patricks Cathedral/ NY Public Library/ 5th Ave/ MoMa/ Carnegie Hall/ Radio City Music Hall. Shake Shack for lunch. Phantom of the Opera at 7. Times Square at night. No dinner plans.





Wednesday - Central Park, central park zoo





Thursday - Explore Upper East side including Madison Ave. That night we have dinner at db Bistro and tickets to Wicked.





Friday - Museum day. Start at Museum of Natural History. Eat lunch and explore then go to MoMA for free Friday nights. No dinner plans.





Saturday - Czech day! My husband and his family have a Czech heritage, so I think we will head to Astoria and visit the Beer Garden and Zlata Praha for dinner.





Sunday - Visit all the things we meant to get to but missed. Departure around 6pm.





Did I miss anything?



Itinerary for review


You%26#39;ve picked huge museums where you could spend a few days in each. I%26#39;d consider going to fewer museums and spending more time in the ones you choose.





There are so many smaller places like the Whitney, Cooper Hewett and even the Museum of the City of NY



all not far apart and a plenty of other options if you want to look around.





To me your trip sounds like a marathon..I%26#39;d slow it down a bit.





Central Park and the Zoo would work well with the Museum of Natural History (or Met) or the rest
