For bars in NYC, we went mostly to Soho and Greenwich Village. There are loads of good bars near New York University.
The naval aviation museum was great, definately worth a visit if you're in the neighborhood. It is quite a long drive from orlando, though, if thats where youre going.
I only drove through downtown Pensacola quickly, didnt really spend time there. I flew to New Orleans and rented a car from there. I drove back to new orleans after visiting the museum.
