New York for Mum's 50th

[BrewsterBear]

My dear old mum turns 50 this year. I've booked us Club Class on BA as a surprise, although she knows she must keep the days free for "something." We're going mid-November for 5 days. I plan to take her to a couple of Broadway shows and to Macy's shopping. I've never visited the Big Apple so I'm unsure what else to do while there or how warm to wrap up. I've yet to book a hotel, or anything other than the flights.

She's a young 50 despite having beaten breast cancer a couple of years ago. Any suggestions for things to do, places to eat, hotels to stay in, etc would be appreciated. Cheers.

Many thanks for the replies, chaps. Plenty to chew over, there.
