- How long are you staying?
- Have you been there before? If so, what did you see? Do you want to see any of those again, or no?
- What do you like and dislike? How do you feel about history? Walking tours? Broadway shows? Other kinds of shows? Museums? Shopping?
- Are you comfortable taking the subway or would you walk and/or take taxi/Lyft/UBER everywhere?
