I've seen a picture of new york in home bargain for £3.99 so that is my starter.

a bag of bagles (bought nearer to the time.)

has anyone any more ideas as to what i can add.

thanks

A good guide book as you have mentioned. A New York calendar could add to the excitement. A few dollars maybe. some American sweets like M&M's, hershey bars, hershey kisses, Reeses Pieces and the like. Some Coffee, disposable cups, milk and sugar (Apparently a regular cwwoffee is white with sugar).

If you go to http://www.nycvisit.com/content/index.cfm?pagePkey=11 (sorry can't get Instert Link to open) then you can request some free guidebooks - but they take a while to arrive - The Official NYC Guide is good and has discount coupons.

Maybe a cheap DVD of a film or series set in NYC, such as Breakfast at Tiffany's, Friends, When Harry met Sally,The Day After Tomorrow etc? When we've been to NY we've loved spotting locations from movies!

what about a New York City Pass,
cant remember how much it costs as its been a coupla years since I went there (didnt much like iNY btw, apart from the touristy obvious),
but the pass gets you a tour of the city, the guggenheim museum ...moma, museum of modern art,etc. but it is really good value....mebbe you can buy online a NY underground pass, though mebbe a NY underground map would be a good idea.... we ended up in Queens the first time we used the uderground....too used to Glasgow's mini clocwork underground
