Hi there! Help with a few USA travel sites, if u don't mind.?

You can see a lot in DC in three days. Most of the tourist sights are centered around the Mall. All the museums in the Smithsonian system are free to enter.

For all three cities, get a guidebook from the library or bookstore or use one of the on-line sites, e.g. Frommer's, Fodor's, etc. If you do a search for "[name of city] tourism" you'll get lots of leads. You might also want to check out CityPass.com. They offer passes to several tourist sights in cities and you can save money with it; you'll have to do a bit of research to see whether it will save you money, depending on what you want to do.

Chicago is called the "Windy City" because its politicians tended to be very talkative ["windy"]. The Museum of Science and Industry is cool to visit and there's also the Shedd Aquarium, the Natural History museum, Navy Pier, etc. If you want a great view, go to the John Hancock building and go up to the restaurant on the floor below the observation deck. You won't have to pay admission and you get the same views. You may have to buy a drink or have lunch, depending on when you go - we went mid-afternoon and they let us just wander around. If you're female, be sure to check out the ladies' room - wow!! There are lots of top-notch restaurants in Chicago. If you want to experience "molecular gastronomy" [supposedly the latest thing in food], look into Moto. VERY expensive [> $100 per person] but a fabulous experience. We were lucky enough to have someone treat us to dinner there.

Lots to do in NYC, of course, but a couple of free things are really neat. Take the Staten Island Ferry for a great view of the city and the Statue of Liberty. Get off in SI then get right back on. The ferry leaves not far from the WTC site if you're in that vicinity anyway. And, take the subway to the first stop in Brooklyn ["Brooklyn Bridge"], get off, walk over to the bridge and back into Manhattan. Wow!!

Hope you have a great time!!
