We are all adults

Thinking of eating at 11 Madison Park and Jungsik.

Been to Per Se and  Le Bernardin 

I want to see MoMa, New York Botanic Gardens and the Bronx Zoo if anything else is worth seeing let me know.

Seen most thing been twice to NYC. London has free museums. Staying at Mandarin Oriental or Four Seasons Downtown. Any hotels with  a pool that a high end will be welcome.

 

Off Broadway is also fine but nothing for kids please and nothing over sexualised

I would say definitely "Harry Potter - Cursed Child". I have read good things about "Tootsie" but who knows until it starts previews.  I would highly recommend "Come From Away", saw it Labor Day weekend and loved it. Have you seen "Dear Evan Hansen"? Instead of Off Broadway, check out schedule at 54 Below. There might be some neat concerts while you are visiting and it is wonderful place (but expensive) to hear Broadway stars. As for things to see and do, plenty of options. I would recommend the 9/11 Memorial for example. My wife and I also loved taking tour of NY City Library, very interesting. I think if it is a nice day, a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge is fun thing to do also and you can get some neat pictures.

Those sound like good choices based on buzz alone! Buy HARRY POTTER tickets as soon as you can, but wait to book all the other tickets in February or later. I don't think any of those are going to sell out in the next 4-7 months, and other titles could be announced later (or reviews could be good or bad...most of them are opening in the spring)

I'd also strongly recommend Lincoln Center Theater's production of "My Fair Lady," which I hope will still be running by then. "King Lear" starring Glenda Jackson and "Gary" starring Nathan Lane & Andrea Martin also sound promising, though nobody's seen them yet.

I would also consider To Kill a Mockingbird... and maybe King Kong, depending on reviews. (I feel like that show is either going to be incredible or a trainwreck... obviously hoping for the former.) 

For non-theatre stuff - take a food tour! There are some great pizza tours, as well as tasting tours of various ethnic neighborhoods. It's a nice way to see different parts of the city, especially if you'll be in Times Square a lot seeing shows.

Eleven Madison Park was wonderful, with gifts to take home and a tour of the kitchen that also featured an additional tasting experience. Haven’t been since it reopened, though. 

I went on an EmptyMet tour once where you’re taken on a small group tour through the Met for about 90 minutes before it opens to the public in the morning, then you can visit on your own after the tour. I hear that MoMA is offering something similar now, too. Gives you a unique experience of the museums.
