Seems like you guys had a lot of fun filming this. I was really impressed with the multitude of shots you were able to cram into the length of the voice over. I especially like the transition from black and white to color. Great job!

Nice shots, nice (quick) editing, an overall pretty production... however, it might make better sense if your recommended sites were geographically linear... so as not to recommend an uptown site followed by a downtown site, followed by an uptown site, followed by a downtown site, etc. Since you've (apparently) got the editing resources, how about adding an evolving graphic showing the progressive path of your recommended sites along an occasional overlay map of Manhattan? When you mention the bit about the local bookstore to checkout local newspapers & magazines featuring free events, etc, help out the viewers here... show the street kiosks of free "City Press" and "Village Voice" newspapers... show (among the thousands of newstand magazines) a glimpse (without appearing too commercial) of "Time Out NY". And... if you want to really make the piece complete, change the $35 to some higher amount... and include info on the 3 or 4 low cost "hostels" in Manhattan... mention "craigslist.org" for reasonable room shares (some free/swap!) in Manhattan... once done... the (longer/higher-$-amount) piece is close to perfect!!
