Considering the nerdy tendencies of this crowd, I can't see how one
would omit a trip to the NYC Transit Museum, which chronicles the
history of what was in the early 1900s quite the high tech marvel, and
still the world's only urban railroad that runs 24/7/365, you know,

Any street vendor will do (get a soft pretzel too) but I'm partial (like

Coney Island.

If you like steak, I love Peter Lugar's but if you want something a
little cheaper and definitely less stuffy, check out Sammy's Romanian
Steaks, not too far from the Williamsburg Bridge (157 Chrystie St).

I also want to 2nd Little Italy and the NY Museum of Natural
History/Hayden Planetarium as must sees if you've never been to NY.  Also
try to see a Broadway show, you can find last minute tickets for 1/2 off at
TKTS (bring cash!!), but stay away from Time's Square to beat the lines and
hit the one at the Southstreet Seaport (this is another cool place to check
out anyway and very close to Brooklyn).

Times Square (~42s-49s, along 7a)

Union Square (14s/4a)

Disclaimer: I've worked in the immediate area of this conference on
and off for over 30 years.  (In fact, I'm staring longingly down at
the Marriott Hotel from the office window right now...)

First, you simply must take a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge to
Manhattan (and back).  Exhilarating views, an unforgettable
experience, and you'd be participating in one of the more common
things that all NYC people do.  Just walk out the front door of
the hotel and turn right.  (Watch out for crazy bicyclists!)

Second, Junior's Cheesecake, overhyped as it is, is still arguably
among the best domestic cheesecakes, at least on the east coast.
You really ought to try it.  But, don't stop there -- the
brisket/corned-beef/pastrami on twin rolls is highly recommended.
(My personal favorite is their down-home matzoh-ball soup.)

Third, the Brooklyn Heights area is admittedly artsy, but there's
lots of interesting and tasty variety.  I've had great food at
several Italian seafood-style places (although if that's your
preference, I'd encourage you to go to Vincent's in Little Italy
(lower Manhattan)).

Finally, I didn't see a destination that seems like it might be very
useful: Radio Shack (go out the back door of the hotel, turn right,
half a block to Willoughby, turn right, and it's right across the street
from the White Castle (which is its own destination)).

P.S. If you're into bicycling, the Hudson River Park bikeway (runs about
10 miles along the western Manhattan shoreline) is a paved, fantasitc,
ride.  I don't know if the bike rental season has started yet, though.
