new york trip

Central Park is my favorite

Such a loaded question. It really does all depend on what you like to do.

Are you a museum person (then hit The Met, Museum of Natural History etc.)

Do you like theater (then hit TKTS in Times Square or downtown to save money on Broadway show tickets).

Are you a sport fan? Hit Shea Stadium for a Mets game.

A Foodie . . .now this is where I can help.

My favorite in all of NYC is Village Restaurant on 9th Street off of 6th Avenue (be sure to check out their site). It is great for anything (my first date with my husband, that is where he proposed, we had our engagement party, most every anniversary since, went there in my wedding dress after my wedding, my 40th birthday party . . .the food is that good). French Bistro with a twist.

There is also Babbo in the West Village. One of Mario Batali's restaurants. Pricey but worth every bit. Be sure to make a reservation as soon as possible (you might have to eat very early or very late).

Another favorite is Samba-Le in the East Village (they don't have a site yet but check out review on Citysearch). It is a mix of Italian and Brazilian food. Great sangria, delicious apps and entrees and the owner Patrick is a doll (tell him that Sharyn and Mike say hello from Costa Rica!!)

Really high end for special occasions, Bouley, Jean Georges, Gotham Bar & Grill, Union Square Cafe, Nobu. I can give you some more suggestions if I knew what you like.

Regarding keeping yourself busy . . . I would just walk, walk and then walk til you can't walk anymore. Take a walk over the Brooklyn Bridge. Walk around Central Park. Go up and down in and out . . .you never know what you will find when you turn a corner.

Just enjoy.
