My wife and I are planning to take our twins (boy/girl Ciaran &
Hannah) to New York City in February '05 for a long weekend .
As my wife and I have been to NYC before, the weekend is primarily for
the children. They are aged 10 years.
We are flying from Ireland and will arrive at NYC around 2pm on a
Thursday and will fly out at around 7pm on the Sunday.
I require the following:
Suggestions as to where to go and what to do with 2 10 year olds in
the NYC - obviously Ground Zero, Statue of Liberty but I want some
child specific ideas.
Perhaps a suggested itinerary incorporating the above with a Limo ride as a must.
Suggestions on child-friendly hotels (4 Star would be good) and in
particular places to eat that the children would enjoy.
Suggestions for a current Broadway show would be good also - perhaps
for the Saturday night.

You may find some useful ideas in these answers to previous questions
about attractions in New York City:

Don't miss the Toys R Us flagship store in Times Square
(http://www1.toysrus.com/TimesSquare/dsp_home.cfm).  It has a ferris
wheel, life-sized animatronic dinosaur and huge giant lego sculptures
of NYC landmarks.  (Oh, yeah, it also has tons of toys.)

Serendipity 3 (http://www.serendipity3.com/), a restaurant which has a
lot of kitschy decor and a great dessert menu, should be fun as well.
