NYC for kids

[Scrumhalf]

I will be in NYC for 4 days at the end of the month with my wife and 2 sons (ages 9 and 4). What are the must-see items that kids would appreciate? We were planning on a trip to the Statue of Liberty and to the Museum of Natural History for sure, and perhaps a trip to the top of the Empire State building and some time in Central Park. What would be other kid-friendly activities that are unique to NYC? We have heard great things about the Bronx Zoo but we don't know if it is so much better or unique compared to other zoos to spend a day on.

Any advice from Gotham denizens would be welcome!

I haven't been to the city in 4-5 years, what is going on in little Italy?

I use to love to just walk around down there.
