NYC suggestions
MH and I will be heading to New York in a few weeks for our AHR thrown by his parents (his family is mostly there). We are at a loss for what to do while we're there! We originally wanted to see a show, but the $120 per person (then even more fees!) price tag will probably prevent us from doing that. Beside, Shrek will in Chicago soon, and it's usually only about $85 here. We'll probably check TKTS, but I don't have my heart set on it.
So......any other suggestions of what to do? I've been there twice before, and we've done Empire State, skating at Rockefeller, Central Park carriage ride....lots of typical toutisty stuff. MH is an amatuer photographer, and I'm pretty content just wandering and exploring the city for the most part. But we might like to have a little bit of a plan. We'll be there 2 1/2 days (the AHR is a Saturday luncheon at Tavern on the Green) .....any thoughts?
Re: NYC suggestions
One of my favorite views of NY is actually from NJ. When you're in NY, it's hard to get a perspective because everything is just SO huge! But if you drive through the tunnel (either the lincoln or the holland) into West New York (which is actually in NJ) and up to Boulevard East, you get to see the sky line from the other side of the Hudson River. It's really a spectacular view. ESPECIALLY at night!
I'd also make sure i got over to Little Italy & China Town (which are right next to each other).

im a huge show person...trying finding tickets online and you dont necessarily need to sit in the orchestra, which is where the 120 comes in. there are cheaper seats in the back. there is always a lot of stuff at the tkts booth, so check it out. i just like to walk around time square and shop and eat! our fave deli is stage deli on 51st and 8th i think is the address. they have the best cheesecake and awesome, huge deli sandwiches!
but mainly soak it all in and do a lot of people watching!
My MOH lives in NYC. I've been twice to see her. Here are some of the touristy things we did:
- Walk across the Brooklyn Bridge
- Do the Circle Tour boat ride
- Do the Sex and the City Tour
- Ate at Serendipity 3
- Ate at Katz Deli (I think that's what it's called - from When Harry met Sally)
- Ate at the Carnegie Deli (we did that on the last day both times so that I could get a freezer packed cheesecake to take home - mmmmm!)
- Hung out in Central Park
- Shopped
I can't think of anything else off the top of my head....

Oooooh....I didn't even know that the Statue of Liberty was open! I didn't really have any interest in that, but now maybe I do.
I do want to eat at Katz's...."When Harry Met Sally" is my favorite movie of all time!
Here are the things that I remember the last time I went there:
(1) Top of the Roc (viewing of city on top of Rockefeller--was beautiful! And the lines aren't even as long as Empire)
(2) Rowing through Central Park (we watched a scene from Ugly Betty get filmed w/Lindsey Lohan--although, I don't really care much for her!!)
(3) SATC tour
(4) Watched Broadway--In the Heights--one of my favs!! Its really one that the man can enjoy too and not think its too feminine?
(5) Ventured through Little Italy
(6) SHOPPING!! On Fifth Avenue. Hehe =D
Have you been up to Top of the Rock? It's at Rockefeller. I think the views from there are better than the Empire State Building.
If the weather is nice, you should just take a walk around Central Park. DH and I did that for the first time a couple of weekends ago. It was awesome. So nice inside the park. Did you know there's a small castle in the park?
Since the Statue of Liberty is opened up again, you should try going up
Get your fill on NYC pizza.
I also love eating street food.. especially gyros.. yum
Try to go to the Shake Shack... their burgers and shakes are pretty good. However, there is usually a line. We waited for 45 min when we went... don't think it's worth that long of a wait but it was definitely good. If the wait is not long, definitely try it.
For shows, I think sometimes there are last minute tickets at the ticket booth near times square and they sell those for cheaper. Maybe you can try for those once you get there
Have fun!! Tavern on the Green is gorgeous!
