new york trip

[sarah]

Hi everyone!

Im visiting new york again, and im going to visit all the usual tourist places, such as the empire state, the statue of liberty, and of course Macy's!

Are there any other places anyone would recommend?

Thanks

Be like Michael Scott, ditch all the "touristy" places and visit...Times Square!

F'real though, when are you going? That will either open up a lot of suggestions or close out a few.

Yeah! Times Square! I would *love* to be at the Virgin Records' Store on a Tuesday. Who knows...maybe the artist will drop by!

I'm new to the site but saw ya'll talking about New York trips. My husband and I are wanting to visit New York in June for our 20th anniv. we have never been there but it's always been my dream vacation. The only problem we have no clue where to stay. We would like to be able to see all the popular sites but I really want to visit Rockefeller Center and Times Square. I would also love to see Saturday Night Live ! and see the City etc..also a romantic dinner somewhere since it is for our 20th !!

I'm open to any suggestions

What kind of budget do you have? Some of the hotels in the area can get to be about 200-300 a night....or more.

Also what type of food do you especially enjoy (or especially NOT enjoy)? That might help narrow down some suggestions since finding a good place to eat in NY is like shooting fish in a barrel. If you like Italian, I suggest Esca, which is in the theater district, IIRC. Matched some of the better stuff I've had in Italy.

You can't beat a dinner on the streets in Little Italy (Mulberry) in the summer...save room for a canoli or some pastries at Ferrara's too....mmm

VE!

When we go to the city we love to take the ferry to the south street seaport (Pier 11), check out the street entertainment there and have a bite at an outdoor cafe, then walk up to Ground Zero. Then we like to putz around Greenwich Village or Chinatown.

If you go in the summer, here is another idea. On a really hot day maybe you would want to get out of Manhattan for a few hours and go to the beach. You can take a ferry to Sandy Hook, NJ (35 minutes) right to the beach, and there is even a water taxi to take you to a few waterfront seafood restaurants right there. And on the ferry ride, you get a great view of the Manhattan skyline and the Statue of Liberty. Then you can spend the evening in New York when it has cooled down.
