Will be definitely checking out both sides, Brooklyn and Jersey. We're planning enough to do over 14 days but leaving a few days spare to decide on after we have been there a bit. Whether that's a day trip across Long Island or a whirlwind early depart/late return on the Amtrack to DC.
I stuffed up booking games. I only checked that there was all of hockey, football and basketball in town on our stay. The Rangers were out of town so I booked the jets v pats when I really should have picked Phili v Giants as the othe game clashes with the Islanders game in Brooklyn. Oh well, always next time. The Devils I think are playing in Jersey the night we arrive but I can't guarantee I'll be in any state to do anything after such a long travel. If I was confident enough in spontaneous travel then I'd head to Pittsburgh during the trip to catch Red Wings v Pens.
As for foods we aren't staying far from Greenwich, Soho and Chelsea and stuff. We've started some research on places we'd like to go, so that with the 2cents from every friend and family who has been there or not we should have a massive list by the time we get there.
