OTC ...thanks..difficult thing is we have an 80+ friend who wants to return to where she was born and a laundry (bucket) list of things she would like to do...we'll go for a week
Willow, you'll have to be more specific about where you want to go and what you want to do. I live on Long Island and will be happy to help you out. Be prepared though if you are coming to the NYC metro area. The basic rule of thumb is: streets are teeming with people, restaurants and places of interest are packed and most importantly,prices are outrageous. We have visited Charleston/Summerville many times and plan to move to Del Webb within a year and believe me when I tell you that the differences between NYC and Charleston/Summerville are stunning.
You're doing the right thing though by asking for suggestions. It's really important to have a "game plan" because without one you'll spend most of your time walking in circles.
N....I PM'd you
CK....I know but kinda feel a kinship to this forum and plenty of people from the NE hang out here..
OTC...She'll walk the Brooklyn bridge...but wouldn't be caught in a casino
a small list of things she would like to do: Ellis Island to find her parents name, walk the Brooklyn Bridge, Ground Zero, Financial District, Time Square, boat ride around Ellis Island, Liberty Island and St Patrick's church, the Met, a broadway show...the list goes on a bit more.
This time of year dont miss a walk through Central Park- near the lake.
Strawberry fields is nice on the west side of the park (near 73rd).
The museum of Natural history is there.
The met and Guggenheim may have something interesting goin on.
Discount tickets ( same day) for B'way plays can be gotten near the Marriot Marquis.
Even so, they are still expensive- but can be worth it.
At the Seaport (lower east side) you get to experience the Brooklyn bridge close up.
However, the seafood restaraunts there seem like tourist traps- I'd go elsewhere to eat.
Man I love NYC- in small doses of course.
