Back from my first visit to New york.. and it will not be my last
Edited on Thu Aug-18-05 12:40 PM by Logiola
Had an amazing time.. so many great things to see and do.

I must thank you all for your suggestions.

some of my favorite things would be:

Soho, greenwich vilage and the lower east side
9th avenue restaurants
coney island
esb

if you like,
you can browse thru our photos.. i will give you the addy if you pm me..



i can not wait to go back.. i have never felt so safe in a city, and all new yorkers were super nice and helpful.. only rude people were some tourists.

best thing, within two hours of arriving got to see Bill Maher

6. Yup, I haven't been to the Museum of Natural History in years!
Walk by Madame Tussaud's every once in a while and never think to go in!

9. I still remember seeing House of Wax on Creature Feature....
Creature Feature used to come on right after Wonderama. You're right -- it freaked me out. :)

4. Looking through your photos I had to laugh because
living in NYC I would never think to eat cheesecake at Lindy's but I just got off the phone with my gf to tell her we are going after work. Thank you!!

11. On those double-decker city bus tours that cruise around...
I always feel like an animal in the zoo. "Look at all the crazies hurrying to get nowhere"

12. haha.. yeah, the bus tours are pretty funny.. but it is nice to be able to
hop on and hop off..

i was suggesting the boat cruise.. the bus cruise would be pretty silly for a local :D that's why you have a metro card.
