Cruising Places New Jersey We Are Going On A 7th Grade School Trip To NYC. Any Suggestions?

We are going on a 7th grade school trip to NYC. Any suggestions? - cruising places new jersey

The trip is tomorrow. I am a little worried because I am so far from my family and everything. We go to Ground Zero, the Statue of Liberty Ferry Cruise, Chinatown, Toys R Us and The Today Show. We will stay until Sunday. I have some questions for New Yorkers or people who have visited;

1. It's Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. (almost) right?
2. What are some cool places to go and buy cool stuff for really cheap?
3. Are there places that should be reasonable, go to (dangerous places?)
4. How Far (minutes) from New Jersey, New York (the hotel is located in New Jersey)

If possible, answer these questions - or just make some useful suggestions?
Thank you very much for your help!
