Crossing the Brooklyn bridge is a must, and while you're there make sure to stop by RACycles to see all the nice toys
Riding up the East river is also a blast, but make sure to take a spin around Central Park. If you're in the village
head over to John's Pizza on Bleeker for the best pizza in town, then to Caffe Roma (corner of Broome and Mulberry) for espresso and amaretto cookies (and lousy service

).
You can also take the bike path and head through Times Square...
Have fun!

I used to think John's was the best pizza in NYC until I moved into Brooklyn from Manhattan about 7 years ago and found L&B (what I consider #1), Grimaldi's, & Di Fara (a bit expensive now).
