A side note, I had to look up Dumbo (not the elephant). I never heard of that one before.
If you liked DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass), then you will also like RAMBO - Right After Manhattan Bridge Overpass.
Someone on this forum also informed me of the BoCoCa (Boreum Hill, Cobble Hill, Carrol Gardens), besides the traditional SoHo (South of Houston), TriBeCa (Triangle Below Canal St), FiDi (Financial District), and Nolita (North of Little Italy). You can also hear MePa (Meatpacking District), but its not as popular as SoBro (South Bronx) which is gaining some momentum nowadays. I also think NoMad (North of Madison park) will become popular soon, then you can just purchase a gun and blow your brains out.
One of my favorites is the New York Aquarium. It's a fascinating place; I can't imagine anyone's not enjoying it immensely. When you're there you can look around what's left of the old Coney Island amusement park. It's days of .glory are long gone; but it's a slice of Americana well worth seeing. For an inlander, the adjacent ocean's always worth another look.
For some reason, I've always enjoyed visiting the Aquarium, Coney Island, and the stormy Atlantic most on a cold, bleak day. The Aquarium will warm your heart and mind, and I'm sure that you can find some clam chowder and a hot dog to warm your body.

The Museum of the Moving Image is about making movies in NYC starting with the period before movie/film making moved out to Hollywood, CA (in the 1920s). According to the museum website, it is temporarily closed until January 15, 2011 (see Museum of the Moving Image).
If you haven't been, I suggest going over to Liberty and Ellis Islands.
That's a visit I've made four times! It was wonderful the first and second times, a little less exciting the third time and verging on boring the fourth time. I do find that I get kind of teary whenever I see the Status of Liberty, though, and will probably always continue to do so. (I clearly have to stop taking people to New York who have never been there. That's why I've made the trip to Liberty and Ellis Islands so many times.)

You guys are nothing if not creative with your acronyms!

Seriously, that sounds like a dream day to me! Thanks for the suggestion!

Just got back from NYC and took your suggestion. Had a wonderful time at the Aquarium and loved walking down the boardwalk. It was definitely on the chilly side but sunny and beautiful. Had a hotdog at Nathan's. A memorable day for sure!
