Never been there and no interest in it.
However....
1. Don't just use Garmin, get some maps and pore over them beforehand. List places to see and use Googlearth to preview them.
2. If you will see Central Park, read about it's history, preferably with old pictures.
I just read Edna Ferber's 1917 book "Fanny Herself", set a little in New York of the time. A similar old book might add a nother shade to the picture, see changes and similarities.

enjoy new york, I LOVE new york, I grew up there, and it is part of my
blood, I roamed the streets of the island all night, I know every corner and every aspect of that city, and than I ran away from there, and I have no desire to ever go back, but still i go back at least a few times a year,,,, I dont even know why.

Adventure time!!! My 30 year old nephew did that as soon as he graduated from college and it has become a part of him. I would be surprised if he ever left.

I admire you for doing this! I often think of going there myself for the
same reasons...I think writers need to be where the action is at times, just as much as they need some isolation and quiet at other times. Have fun! I know you will!

Make sure you walk across the Brooklyn Bridge...inspiration prime! ...and there's a new walking park "The High Line".......
NEW YORK — An elevated rail line abandoned nearly 30 years ago on Manhattan's West Side reopens this week as a landscaped public park that sits three stories above the city's streets.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the founders of the High Line park unveiled on Monday the first half-mile section of the High Line park, scheduled to open to the public the following day.
The High Line stretches 1.5 miles from Gansevoort Street in the Meatpacking District all the way up to 30th Street along Manhattan's West Side, with dazzling views of the city and the Hudson river, including many landmarks like the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building. The rail line stands as high as 30 feet, and is 60 feet wide in some places, with railings of about three feet.
