Check for bedbugs. Seriously. NYC has had an outbreak over the last few years. We stayed at a pretty nice place a year and a half ago which had them. Unfortunately we didn't discover this until well into the trip, and didn't know how clingy the little bastards are. We brought them home with us and ended up having to have the whole house fumigated. Had to empty the house - it was as much work as moving.

But other than that, NYC is an awesome place, no matter what you're into. You guys will have a great time!
