Coming to NY for the first time
 

Bringing the wife to NY for her 30th b-day on Oct 30th. come in on Oct 26th have some ballet tickets for the 27th, and rent tickets for the 30th, eating at Tavern on the green on the 29th.

What else should we do while we are in town, (boat related )staying in the theature district.

Anyone want to take us for a boat ride in a fast cat., any manufactures we should check out. I am pumped for some reason, and i hate the ballet and the theature

NYC is the best in the world. The list of things to do is endless. Empire State Building, Ellis Island, Stock Exchange, Museum of Modern Art, take ride around Manhattan boats, dinner at CLUB "21" make reservations in advance. Thats Trumps, Mayor Mikes and Rudy's favorite joint along with many other celebs. Macy*s and Bloomingdale's for shopping. Little Italy and China Town a must. The list goes on and on. Google NYC for a list of things going on the week you are here.

I think Tavern on the Green is closed

Re: Coming to NY for the first time
 

That list pretty much does it. You won't get into the NYSE, after 9/11 you won't get on the sidewalk in front of the place without an "approved" escort.

Drinks atop the Marriot Marque.

If you want to give her a treat hit the boutiques on 5th and Madison Ave North of about 45th.

And don't forget the Naked Cowboy in times square :eek:

Stop by JC Performance... he will have something for you :D

Yankees will be in the World Series too so you may want to scrap the ballet.....
Seriously... if you are a sports fan, you might be able to schedule a tour of Yankee Stadium....

Boating related?

Check out the Intrepid! www.intrepidmuseum.org

Here's a fast boat ride. www.circlelinedowntown.com/shark.html

At night, Times Square and drinks at the rotating resteraunt on top of the Marriot Marque. It's right at Times Square.

And don't miss the opportunity to take a subway ride!

Be safe and have fun.

Re: Coming to NY for the first time
 

The Intrepid is one h*ll of an "offshore" boat. I had a wild ride on her about 35 years ago. Nothing like seeing water coming over the flight deck while pitching in heavy seas!
