On my last photo trip to the Big Apple I had a cruel photography schedule. I planned out some photo spots, had to attend three sport events and improvise in the mornings to re-adjust my photography timelines:
Friday:

Friday:
3:00 PM: Arrival in New York City and Brooklyn Bridge Park. Looking for parking. Find parking in a local garage - extremely convenient but pricy!
3:30 PM: On location at Brooklyn Bridge Park, Pier 1 for skyline photography ~ so worth it, amazing light!

9:30 PM Diner at the hotel.
Sunday:
5:00 AM: Capturing the Gantry Cranes with NY Freedom Tower and other local landmarks at sunrise. Disappointing lighting turns interesting and saved this morning shoot ~ two days in a row I make it out of bed in the wee hours ~ worth the wake up call!

8:00 AM: Couple croissants and a high octane coffee in Queens ~ needed that one for the rest of the day.
